EBDG-Designed Mare Australis is Delivered

Elliott Bay Design Group (EBDG) of Seattle announced the delivery of the Mare Australis. EBDG became involved with the Mare Australis project when operator Nisa Navegacion was referred to them by a previous client. Navegacion was looking to design a new vessel and EBDG was selected based on their expertise with small cruise ships. According to EBDG Project Manager, Douglas Wolff, P.E., the design was based on the successful design of her sister ship the TERRA AUSTRALIS. In 2000, Wolff traveled to Chile to ride the Terra Australis and learn of the vessel's operations and layout so that similar elements could be incorporated into the new design. The Contract Design for the Mare Australis was completed in fall 2001.
