Deltamarin has signed a contract with Norwegian Yacht Voyages AS to perform conceptual design and consultancy services for the M/Y Caroline expedition mega yacht project.

Deltamarin will provide conceptual design together with selected architect partners, covering the development of the technical design and documentation.

The Polar Class 6 mega yacht will have a hybrid machinery solution consisting of dual-fuel generators that can run on both diesel and LNG, energy storage for peak shaving and several other solutions to minimise emissions.

The yacht is due to operate worldwide.

"We are very proud to announce our partnership with Norwegian Yacht Voyages to develop this ambitious project, which is to be the greenest mega yacht we have seen to date. Deltamarin has an excellent track record of designing highly energy-efficient and environmentally friendly passenger vessels, so we are very excited to join this project," commented Deltamarin's sales manager, Jaakko Lappi.
