World’s largest research vessel to be built
The hull is already at Langstein for outfitting. The plans are amazing. She will be something else!!!
Today a US flag RoRo, Independence II (ex WW Titus) is at Skogn in Mid-Norway:
Probably bring back military material after the big NATO exercise last month.
Is this one still managed by WW’s office in USA??
More on the two new Hurtigruten Expedition ships under construction at Kleven:

It is true that rotten fish may be one of the ingredients used to produce the biogas though.
