89-Metre Offshore Support Mothership — Conversion
293 ft (89 m) · Stocznia Polnocna · Built 1999 · Full Helideck
293 ft of length and real volume — the size to carry aircraft, submarines, a fleet of tenders and a full expedition team, anywhere on earth.
A large certified helideck on the forward platform — operate a medium twin, not just touch-and-go, with a hangar option below.
A vast working deck — the flat, open real estate to build a beach club, a garage, a pool deck and a submarine bay.
Shipyard accommodation for 59 — the framework for a large owner's party, guests, expedition staff and crew.
A true mothership platform — helideck, vast deck and volume already built, ready to become a global expedition yacht that carries everything.
Standard capability is built into the hull today; optional systems are engineered in during conversion.
A conversion is far more than a technical upgrade. It is the transformation of a proven, ocean-tested hull into a yacht with new purpose, new value and a life of its own — and it rewards the owner who can see what others cannot.
The hull, machinery, helideck and vast deck are proven. The conversion re-imagines everything above and around them for owner-standard global expedition service — from the tropics to the poles. In outline, the scope includes:
The hull as she operates now — a mothership-scale support platform with a full helideck, a heavy deck crane and a vast working deck.
