  • Ice-class US Research ship with diesel electric propulsion, 15,000 mile-range, can do over 20-knots, available for sale. A conversion was started but it now needs to be taken over. At 3,700 Gross Tons, it offers enormous potential for conversion with 18 luxury suites, a full spa, screening room, onboard film/TV/recording studio, full gym, submarine launch through moonpool, multiple twin-turbine helicopters, etc., etc.
    The vessel features a UNIQUE BULBOUS BOW VIEWING POD. Lie back and watch the dolphins playing under way.
    This vessel has been called, "The finest ship currently available for conversion in the world."

    This boat might be good for a floating university sort of deal. Even then it would cost an arm and a leg to run and maintain.

      The smaller NOAA sips very often do go to universities. This one would probably be too big, as you say.

    To convert to an explorer yacht would take a billionaire’s wallet. But it was made by a government entity who has a deep pocket. It takes a billionaire to support this. Beautiful ship.

    It is not listed as sold. I am really curious about what the buyer has planned. It is a magnificent vessel. I hope it went to someone who has big plans for it.

    It's too bad this vessel got scrapped. So much potential. Even if not as a luxury yacht or cruise. I'm surprised it isn't lined up with different organizations that would benefit from a purpose built research vessel. And not to mention for a vessel this large, it has both speed, range, endurance, and ice strengthen. It's as if Jacques Cousteau were to build a vessel to his specifications.

    An excellent and professional presentation.
    Yes, but first to find a contract! Such as Cable laying, optical fiber, Subsea works. This heavy construction could be used for offshore oil & gas assistance and to carry on the new type of lader for crew moving (See the new Eni Normand maximus) on this tube.
    The fact to have Helicopters on board for emergency is a great plus.
    about the cost to add the seefarers etc. etc.
    Also, the goal is often: the ship number one shoud pay the ship number Two.
    This vessel is also adaptal for all type of jobs.
    I don' think, to buy her for à luxurius or, and leasure ship is a good idea.
    On the leasure market an old boat, stay an old boat.
    Cheers.

    @jmyers9853 5 років тому +1

    it is far too complex and old for a small yacht crew to maintain, NOAA had plenty of personnel and money to keep it running, thats why it was retired. the old Farbanks OPs need to be put out to pasture too.

    Why could NOAA not repair it and continue to use it?

    • @ExpeditionYachts
      @ExpeditionYachts  5 місяців тому

      I think it was too large to be practical for normal NOAA missions. Their fleet is generally comprised of much smaller vessels. As rumor has it, these larger ships were built and deployed during the cold war and their funding and missions may have been for tracking Russian subs.

  • @michaelhoran407
    @michaelhoran407 5 місяців тому

    Why did NOAA not repair the ship and continue to use it?

    • @ExpeditionYachts
      @ExpeditionYachts  5 місяців тому

      I have no idea. It was very efficient to run, but probably the manning requirements were large. Its official mission was to map ocean floor in Pacific, but many believed that with its range and speed its real mission was to track and follow Russian subs.

      +BigWater59 This vessel cruises at 18-knots with small engines and it is incredibly economical. Burns about the same as a big sport fisher. The hull is a beautiful design that many new vessels can not match with their flat-steel panels.
