This is a rare opportunity to acquire a large Norwegian-built ocean-going vessel with a unique combination of expedition heritage, scientific pedigree, extensive rebuilding works and exceptional future potential. Originally constructed in Norway for governmental scientific service, the Vessel spent decades operating in demanding North Atlantic conditions before embarking on a major modernization and conversion programme. Significant investments have already been made in accommodation, technical systems and expedition capabilities, creating a
platform that can be completed and adapted for a wide range of future uses.

Invitation to Prospective Buyers
The vessel is offered through a court-supervised judicial sales process. The sale is being conducted based on bids. Anyone expressing interest in this vessel will be notified of when the bidding round begins and of any bids received.

Important information
The images show some debris, clutter, and unfinished work. A great deal of highquality workmanship and materials is hidden due to these conditions, so please use your imagination to envision the potential outcome. No technical systems have been functionally tested. No recent inspections of the underwater hull have been carried out. The bridge has been completely dismantled. A Western shipyard can, if required, provide a quote for the installation of used or new equipment. Please note the vessel has been in lay-up since 2016 with only a bare minimum of attendance.

GRS is also holding a 2024 issued Inspection Report.
