Designed in collaboration with leading marine scientists and naval architect Espen Øino, it features an oceanographic laboratory, a research submarine capable of diving to 1,000 meters, and a zero-emission electric propulsion mode for navigating sensitive marine sanctuaries. Its aft beach platform transforms into an ocean exploration deck.
