Offshore ship being converted into luxury yacht

The 'Ocean Ness'. which was most recently part of the Atlantic Offshore Rescue fleet in Aberdeen will be rebuilt as one of “the world’s most capable explorer yachts” by the Icon Yard enlisted which enlisted the world-famous designer and naval architect Espen Øino. Although 95 percent of the original platform and superstructure will remain, the 'Ocean Ness' will gain an additional 13 feet to bring the total length to an imposing 230 feet. Designed for a discerning superyacht owner seeking a family-orientated vessel for long-range trips, Master offers accommodation for 12 guests across two VIP cabins, three twin cabins and one epic owner’s suite that spans just shy of 1,500 square feet. She will also offer cabins for up to 19 crew. Elsewhere, there is a sizable main saloon with floor-to-ceiling windows, along with a Jacuzzi, spa, sauna and a gym. Master will come equipped with a full arsenal of toys, submarines and tenders that can be deployed and recovered by the vessel’s two 38-foot cranes. She will also sport a 452-square-foot expedition area and a helicopter deck that can be used for entertaining when not otherwise occupied by a chopper. The ship will have a top speed of 14 knots and a range of 6,000 nautical miles. She will also be fitted with hybrid thrusters for whisper-quiet cruising at 7 knots. Eventually, the vessel could support full hybrid (diesel-electric) propulsion.
