Silversea Cruises confirms the next takeover of the new Silver Origincruise ship
It was completed by the Dutch shipyard De Hoop despite the reduction in activity
May 19, 2020
In addition to the safety measures taken at the site, including a distance of at least 1.5 metres, tests were carried out remotely controlled at sea. In particular, for the first time in the history of shipbuilding the proof of dynamic positioning was done remotely by configuring and calibrating the dynamic positioning system from St. Petersburg, to more than 1,800 kilometers away. "This one - pointed out the director of the Dutch shipyard, Fre Drenth - is the first time such an operation has been completed at distance during sea trials. The calibration was successful and it didn't take longer than usual. This shows that it is possible to optimize the systems dynamic remote positioning and potentially in the future you could save a lot of engineers' travel time."
After delivery the Silver Origin,which has a 5,800 tonnes and will accommodate 100 passengers and 90 crew members, will sail to the Islands Galapagos.
