Turning Challenges into Solutions: REV Ocean sets sail for 2026 Launch

Fornebu/Ålesund, 10.11.23.  An agreement on completion of the REV Ocean vessel has been reached with the shipbuilder VARD. To ensure the functionality of the vessel, the vessel will be lengthened by 12 meters and modified in certain areas. This will also provide more space and increased science capacity in the main hangar of the vessel. VARD now expect to deliver the vessel in February 2025, which means that the vessel will be operational from Q4 2026. VARD will undertake the rebuild at VARD’s facilities and in dock at suitable location in Norway. Final completion activities will as previously planned be carried out after delivery from VARD at a location to be decided closer to VARD’s delivery.
