Location<\/h4>\n

The shipyard is ideally \u2013 but not necessarily \u2013 located near the Public Building Show. For most of the work, we need one or more weatherproof building(s) with controllable, largely stable temperature and humidity. This has a direct influence on manufacturing tolerances! Simple weather protection (possibly a tent) is sufficient for goods receipt, the outdoor timber storage area, the log band saw and the temporary storage of ready-to-install (sealed) components.<\/p>\n

Range of boats and ships<\/h4>\n

At our shipyard, we will build a wide range of boats and ships that we need to carry out our missions<\/a> on the way to achieving our vision<\/a>. Initially, we will focus on the large LRVs (Large multi-purpose Research Vessel) <\/strong>over 50 metres, such as \u0396\u03c9\u03ae<\/a>, and the comparatively small SRV<\/a>s (Small multi-purpose Research Vessel) <\/strong>with a length of around 12 metres.<\/p>\n

Characteristics<\/h4>\n

Suitable designs of research boats and ships must fulfill the requirements of seaworthiness, carrying capacity, towing capacity and, of course, environmental compatibility in order to be able to cope with the tasks set. SRVs<\/a> and FRVs<\/a> in particular must also be able to be sailed by smaller crews – the e-\u039a\u03b1\u0390\u03ba\u03b9\u03b1<\/a> even by a single person – and offer sufficient space for their mission. In addition, they should provide at least a minimum level of comfort for their crews and guests, especially on longer journeys. What all our ships have in common is our ambition to build robust work and research vessels from sustainable materials that can withstand all weathers. The wooden laminate also provides excellent sound and heat insulation, ensuring a pleasant climate on board.
The deckhouses and shade sails are fitted with photovoltaic modules, which generally cover the energy requirements. In addition, the medium-sized and large ships are equipped with extremely powerful Hydrogenerators<\/strong> developed\u00a0in collaboration with Hamburg University of Technology<\/strong><\/a> and TU Wien<\/strong><\/a> (Vienna University of Technology), which convert \u2018surplus\u2019 wind energy into electrical energy.<\/p>\n
