SOLA (formerly Sola Fide RN‑1) is ready for her next role as a research vessel. The preparations include a complete LSA update carried out by VCU Safety, ensuring the ship complies with the applicable international safety requirements.
As part of this update, all fire-fighting equipment was also professionally serviced in collaboration with Ten Napel Brandbeveiliging. Both tasks were carried out in accordance with the SOLAS/MED guidelines.
SOLA is currently being outfitted as a state-of-the-art polar expedition vessel, intended for research projects and expeditions in polar regions. The ship will be available for operations starting from the 2025-26 season.
With these works, SOLA is fully compliant with the required safety standards. OceanExpeditions LLC can deploy SOLA for future expeditions, research tasks, or adventurous journeys. We wish them safe and successful voyages across the world’s oceans.
