We’re excited to announce that Heinen & Hopman and Teknotherm are awarded the contract to deliver the HVAC for a 182 metre Research Expedition Vessel (REV), to be built by Norwegian shipyard Vard Brattvaag.

Rosselinis Four-10

The REV is owned by Rosselinis Four-10, which is wholly-owned by the Norwegian industrialist Kjell Inge Røkke and his family.

Developing knowledge and sustainable solutions

The highly specialized vessel is tailor-made for worldwide research and expedition activities, with the objective of developing knowledge and sustainable solutions to address the ocean’s environmental challenges. Equipped with the latest technology onboard, the vessel will be one of the most advanced research expedition vessels in the world.

Research facilities

  • Equipment for monitoring and surveying marine areas, currents, the seabed, fish, animals and plant life in all of the world’s oceans will be available on the vessel.
  • Cutting-edge laboratory facilities for analysis work.

Available for charter

In addition to hosting tailored programs for researchers from across the globe, the ship will also be available for charter, intended for recreational purposes and expeditions, potentially in combination with scientific input and technical seminars. The ship will also be used by Røkke and his family for parts of the operating time, on the same terms and conditions as for other charterers. The vessel accommodates 24 – 30 scientists, 30 – 54 crew and 34 guests.

Environmentally friendly

The vessel is designed to secure the most cost efficient, silent, comfortable and environmentally friendly expeditions in all weather conditions.
