Co-financed by the European Union, the vessel will be equipped with the most advanced high-sea rescue and spillage prevention technology.
The ship, measuring 68 metres in length and with a beam of 11, will be provided with a total power of 3600Kw by its two 1800Kw electric engines, allowing it to reach speeds of 18 knots.
More than 10 European shipbuilders made bids for the Danish government tender. However, according to MCies, two aspects of the company tilted the balance in its favour. The first was the undeniable quality of its vessels – the toughness, safety and effectiveness of its ships boast a good reputation when it comes to sailing in the difficult waters of Northern Europe. Secondly, its outstanding standing in terms of technology. MCies is one of the foremost shipbuilders for the construction of oceanographic vessels, forcing it to work constantly in the field of R&D and innovation.
MCies is currently one of Spain’s finest shipbuilders thanks to the excellent quality of the materials it uses, the advanced technology it fits on the ships it builds and the constant research it performs in the sector. The sum of these qualities has led it, for example, to build the first twin-rig trawler, include fish-conservation dry ice systems in trawlers, revolutionise the design and architecture of ships of this kind and to become one of the leading builders of oceanographic vessels in Spain, not to mention its new venture, OASSIVE, the name under which MCies intends to break the luxury mega-yacht sector.
MCies has been designing, building and repairing vessels since 1977.
