Norwegian boat builder Maritime Partner is set to reach a major landmark in its history as it completes the construction of its 2,000th vessel since founding in 1994.
The Aalesund based company will deliver its 2,000th boat to its long standing client and fellow Norwegian company the shipbuilder Kleven.
The 2,000th boat is part an order Kleven placed in December 2014 for six Seabear 23 MkIIIs and six Macgregor AC38 davits.
The Seabear 23 MkIIIs will be installed on board 95m long anchorhandlers that Kleven is building for Maersk Supply Service, another long standing customer of Maritime Partner.
The Seabear 23MKIII is equipped with a Volvo penta D3 engine of 150kW, a Naiad Vosper PP90 waterjet and has a top speed of 34-36 knots.
