Guest speakers:

Terje Våge, Lead Naval Architect Ulstein Design & Solutions
Ove Dimmen, former Sales Manager Ulstein Verft

Designing and constructing the Lindblad Expeditions’ first polar newbuilds

Ulstein is moving from offshore vessels to state-of-the-art exploration cruise vessels. Ove Dimmen at Ulstein Verft and Terje Våge at Ulstein Design & Solutions share their experiences with the development and construction of Lindblad's first polar newbuilds, the 'National Geographic Endurance' and the 'National Geographic Resolution'.

Key takeaways from the webinar:

  • how did Ulstein's offshore experience match Lindblad's pioneering experience in polar cruising?
  • the benefits of building at a small yard in the middle of a complete maritime cluster
  • being first in many ways - designing for polar waters
