2023 Explorer Support vessel163ft

This 50m shadow / support Explorer (possibly to be built under International Ice Classification) was conceptualized for an American customer, willing to have all his big toys following his main yacht, including an helicopter, a sub-marine, super-tenders, diving equipment ...

Initially designed with some guest areas, this support vessel can be built at extremely competitive budget as a total shadow vessel, optimizing the volumes on board for large equipment and crew only.

MBD Design, in charge of the project to be built in Turkey, is a highly experienced Naval Architect, having worked for over 35 years on project up-to 162m / 530ft.

ALTN Shipyard in Turkey, initially selected to build the project, was launched in 2008 with impressive facilities able to launch at the same time two 160m / 525ft construction. Since the shipyard is in activity, they built a 92m / 300ft commercial vessel and a 43m / 141m luxury yacht.
