UK Company To Fit Out World's Largest Research Vessel
The world's largest research vessel is preparing for its first mission in the Arctic with a helping hand from a UK company.
Northern Ireland-based outfitting specialist Mivan has struck a deal to deliver the interior fit-out of the cabins and interior living areas onboard REV Ocean. These works will enable the vessel to reach completion in 2021, after which it will embark on an Arctic adventure focusing on climate change impacts, plastic pollution and unsustainable fishing.
REV Ocean CEO Nina Jensen said: "We are delighted to work with a company like Mivan that is sensitive to environmental sustainability in their production process. Durability and comfort in the interior of our vessel is an important part of implementing our research and expedition programme and ensuring we achieve our mission of One Healthy Ocean."
One of the world's most environmentally friendly nautical vessels, REV Ocean is built for marine research with a focus on finding solutions to pressing environmental challenges. It will be equipped for investigations of the entire marine ecosystem and has the range and equipment to make autonomous expeditions globally. It is owned by Rossellinis Four-10 and operated by REV Ocean Inc.
John Cunningham, Managing Director, Mivan, commented: "The deteriorating health of the world's ocean has never been more prevalent thanks to TV shows such as Blue Planet. The work this vessel will deliver will go a long way to developing concrete solutions to reverse negative environmental impact on our ocean.
"We are delighted to play our part in getting the REV Ocean ready for sea, adding our quality mark on an already exceptional project. We are an environmentally responsible company and have been FSC® and ISO 14001 certified. These certifications underpin Mivan's commitment to reducing our impact on the environment and supported our bid to become REV Ocean’s fit-out partner. The fit-out will be carried out at the Lloyd Werft in Bremerhaven, Germany by our team early in 2020.
"At Mivan, we have extensive experience in the marine sector and this project will utilise all of our inhouse capabilities; including design and project management through to specialist bespoke manufacturing and quality onsite installation by our highly experienced marine fit-out team."
