The 107 m long Exploration Support Vessel currently being built at Kleven Verft in Ulsteinvik, Norway, was launched on Saturday August 30th, the company said in its press release.
The high specification vessel is designed especially for long expeditions in rough waters, and blends a robust, hard-working character with luxurious added extras. It was a landmark new contract for shipbuilder Kleven, which has a solid track record when it comes to building large and advanced offshore vessels, when it was announced in April 2013. The vessel is designed by Norwegian ship design company Marin Teknikk.
