Metalwork has started

Here we go! Work on our aluminium hull started this week. First, the aluminium transverse frames are mounted on a reusable steel frame, which is used for all ships of this series.

An important delivery from Finland has also already arrived at the shipyard - those boxes contain the Oceanvolt AXC24 electric motors for our ship and its sister ship, which will also be electrically powered. Learn more about the concept in Building a Hybrid Electric Alubat OVNI 430.
