Working from home – efficient and seamless work sharing

The Covid-19 pandemic has brought unprec- edented challenges to the business world. When countries went into hard lockdown in March of this year, several companies were forced to temporarily close business opera- tions and many of our customers asked em- ployees to start working from home.

4 Ulstein Verft in Norway has delivered the eye-catching National Geographic En- durance polar expedition cruise ship featuring the iconic ULSTEIN X-BOW® ULSTEIN delivers National Geographic Endurance polar expedition cruise ship design to Lindblad Expe- ditions Holdings, Inc. The National Geographic En- durance is the first of two sister being con- structed for Lindblad by Ulstein Verft. CADMATIC software was used for all the basic and detailed design of the vessel’s hull and outfitting.

The steel cutting of the vessel was started on 5 January 2018. The vessel was launched on 7 December 2019 and sea trials were successfully conducted on 17 February 2020, after which the final construction phase began. The cruise ship was officially handed over to Lindblad on 16 March 2020.
