National Geographic Resolution
Lindblad Expeditions 和 Ulstein Verft 于 2017 年 11 月 7 日签署了造船合同,其中包括建造 1 艘船以及另外 2 艘(可选)Ulstein X-Bow 系列巡洋舰。第一艘船(NatGeo Endurance,船厂号312/2020年3月交付)于2018年1月5日开始建造。第二艘船(NatGeo Resolution,船厂号316)的组装于2019年10月7日开始。所有船均已组装完毕(作为船体和上层建筑)在 CRIST 造船厂(波兰格丁尼亚)建造,然后从波兰拖到 Ulsteinvik(挪威 Hareidlandet 岛)的 Ulstein 造船厂进行舾装(绝缘工程、电气装置、发动机、推进装置)。
2018年3月9日,Ulstein与ABB集团签订合同,为其提供游轮的自动化、推进、动力装置和数字设备。该订单于 2019 年 4 月上旬获得。该套件(包括每艘船两个 Azipod DO 推进器)与 ABB 能力系统 800xA(安全/控制)24/7 完全集成,连接到 ABB 能力协作运营中心(远程实时全球网络) -时间监控和支持/诊断和预测性维护)。
NatGeo Resolution Lindblad的造船订单于2019年2月28日签署。2019年10月8日,该船举行了龙骨铺设仪式,并正式命名。Sven Lindblad(公司总裁兼首席执行官)、Ulstein Verft 的 Kenneth Pettersen(项目总监)、Nikolaos Doulis(Ulstein Verft 的新造船高级副总裁)、Reed Ameel(干船坞经理)和 Jarle Asemyr(船体部门经理)出席了仪式。在这个传统的铸币仪式上,焊接了一枚原始的夏威夷一百五十周年纪念币(90% 银币/半美元,1928 年铸造),纪念库克船长登陆夏威夷 150 周年(1778 年 1 月 20 日)。这枚老式硬币(由斯文·林德布拉德拥有)正面描绘了库克船长,背面描绘了一位夏威夷酋长。
该船的名称是为了纪念战舰 HMS Resolution(1771 年建造的商船/散货船),该船由英国海军购买和改装并服役至 1782 年。1772 年,詹姆斯·库克船长在 HMS Resolution 上开始了第二次和第三次太平洋之旅探险。1773 年初,Resolution 号船成为第一艘穿越南极圈的船只(1 月 17 日)。该船于 1775 年返回母港谢尔内斯(英国肯特郡)。库克船长的第三次太平洋探险于 1776 年 7 月(从普利茅斯)开始。在航行期间,英国皇家海军决议号两次穿越北极圈 - 1778 年(8 月 17 日)和 1779 年(7 月 19 日)。该船于 1780 年(10 月 4 日)返回英国。1780-81 年,该船经过改装,能够为东印度群岛运输军用货物。1782 年(6 月 9 日),该船被法国海军上将皮埃尔·安德烈·德·叙弗朗 (Pierre Andre de Suffren,1729-88 年) 俘获,后者因成功对抗英国的印度洋战役而闻名。
2020年10月16日至22日,这艘未完工的船舶(船厂/船体号316)被从波兰拖至挪威(从波兰格丁尼亚的Crist SA造船厂抵达Ulstein Verft)。11月11日,该船被拖到船厂码头大厅,进行电气、绝缘、管道、钢舾装及各种安装工作。Ulstein Verft 干船坞大厅于 2002 年开业,总长 225 m(738 英尺),门宽 34 m(112 英尺),配有 2 台室内起重机,总起重能力为 500 吨。
Lindblad的Resolution船于2021年6月8日下水(从Ulstein Verft的干船坞浮出)。波罗的海试验于2021年9月3日至6日成功完成。该船于9月30日正式交付给位于Ulsteinvik的Lindblad Expeditions Holdings。Ulstein Verft 的 Nikolaos Doulis(新建筑高级副总裁)和 Kenneth Pettersen(项目总监)出席了签字仪式。
首航(南极洲、英国南乔治亚岛和福克兰群岛)于11月17日启航,往返阿根廷(乌斯怀亚)。首航期间还举行了正式的洗礼仪式(11 月 24 日)。这次特别活动在南极洲的天空下举行,当时船停在威德尔海(杜斯湾,三一半岛/南极半岛最北端)的坚冰上。乘客们自由地走上冰面,为担任教母的海蒂·诺林船长欢呼。马丁·格拉泽机长发表讲话后,乘客和机组人员举杯庆祝,企鹅就在附近。
国家地理分辨率船舶技术
该船的设计采用了 Ulstein 的专利 X-BOW,可提高燃油效率并显着提高恶劣天气下的稳定性。更大的油箱和水箱允许在偏远目的地进行更长时间的导航。船体经过抗冰强化,其冰级更高,可以进入极地深处。现代稳定器确保零速时的稳定性(当船舶完全停止观看野生动物或着陆/乘客登船和下船时)。
该船的推进装置包括两个 Azipod DO 装置(由 ABB 方位推进器生产,每个功率输出 3.5 MW),与同等性能的装置相比,所需功率减少 1/4。“ABBability”系统也是设备的一部分。“系统800xA”(分布式控制和电气控制)进一步提高了燃油效率和安全性。这项先进的海洋技术将船舶的动力推进管理系统集成到一个平台中,使船员和陆地团队能够监控船舶最佳性能所需的所有数据。ABB 的协作运营系统在游轮和 ABB 协作运营中心专家之间提供实时连接,后者全天候 (24/7) 监控船上技术的性能。由于该船在偏远的极地地区作业,因此这一功能至关重要。ABB 集团拥有 7 个陆上支持中心,负责协调远程船舶设备分析、监控、诊断以及预测性维护服务。该公司的“电气-数字-互联”概念减少了随叫随到的工程师服务(高达70%)和对接成本(高达50%)。
丹麦公司 VMS 集团(通用电气在丹麦的销售代理商)交付了该船由 GE 运输公司生产的全部四台通用电气船用柴油发动机(型号 L250 和 V250)。新型GE发动机集成了升级的控制系统、二级涡轮增压、高压共轨喷射和先进的洗涤器系统(EGR/废气再循环)。先进的船用发动机技术消除了对 SCR 设备(选择性催化系统)的需求。它节省了船上空间,释放了负载和油箱容量,还节省了与设备购买、安装和维护相关的成本。跳过 SCR、监控和计量设备(尿素罐)可节省高达 75% 的船上空间,并减少造船时间和成本。
The 2021-built MS National Geographic Resolution cruise ship is the second Lindblad-National Geographic cruise line's vessel of the "Ulstein X-Bow" series. The boat is scheduled for delivery in 2021-Q4. From the same class is the sistership NatGeo Endurance (2020 March).
The vessel (IMO number 9880685) is currently Bahamas-flagged (MMSI 311000893) and registered in Nassau.
On November 7, 2017, the shipowner Lindblad Expeditions Holdings and the Norwegian shipbuilding company Ulstein Verft AS signed an agreement to build the new-design passenger vessel at the price of USD 134,6 million, with 20% due upfront. By the contract, the delivery deadline is January 21, 2020 (potential "accelerated" delivery on November 18, 2019). The deal also included building two more (optional) vessels of the same class / design) to be constructed in subsequent years.

During all MDR meals, the ship's expedition staff (leader, naturalists, guest speakers) join the passengers to provide interesting information and answer questions.
Shipboard entertainment options - Fun and Sport
Lindblad Resolution ship has the industry's highest ice-class rating - PC5 (Category A). The patented X-Bow design provides stable navigation in all-weather conditions and increases fuel efficiency. The innovative marine engineering and design (developed by Ulstein Design & Solutions AS) also improve wildlife viewing capabilities due to the hull's unobstructed downward sightlines.
Passengers can benefit from multiple promenade (walk-out / open-air) deck areas from the Navigation Bridge (Wheelhouse), Observation Lounge and glass railings on Lido Deck. Located on the ship's top deck, these are the best vantage points for photography and nature viewing.
Among the signature public spaces is The Sanctuary (wellness/spa complex) with 2 saunas (high- and low-heat, both with sea views), relaxation room, 2 treatment rooms (for massages), glass-walled Yoga Studio (for classes), photo gear locker.
On Observation Deck (deck 8) is also the aft-located Sun Deck with an outdoor barbeque bar and two Infinity Edge Pools (outdoor Jacuzzies/whirlpool hot tubs with glass walls at the stern) and two igloos (glass-eclosed "snow huts" with daybeds).
The wellness complex also includes a Fitness Center (gym room on Deck 7). NatGeo Resolution ship has over 10,000 ft2 (930 m2) of floor-ceiling glass windows and doors, Scandinavian-themed interiors, new patented Zodiac launching system (2 loading stations serving the ship's fleet of 8 large-capacity Inflatable speedboats / landing craft), expedition equipment (complimentary provided on landings - snowshoes, cross-country skis, sea kayaks), hydrophone, SplashCam (underwater video camera), 2 remotely operated vehicles (ROVs operated by a dedicated undersea specialist), video microscope, helipad (top-deck helicopter landing platform on Helideck), remote control helicopter with camera.
创新的 Zodiac 系统可以快速安全地运输到游轮无法到达的岸上目的地。这些船长 6 m(19 英尺),每艘均由 4 冲程柴油发动机提供动力,最多可容纳 12 人。ROV 的深度可达 305 m(1000 英尺),乘客可以看到即使是最有经验的水肺潜水员也无法到达的海底区域。水下麦克风聆听海洋哺乳动物的声音,并提供实时广播(通过 PA 系统)或录制供以后播放的声音传输。
The ship's custom-designed floating marina platform is used to deploy sea kayaks at any location. A dedicated undersea specialist operates the underwater camera and dive often during the cruise. He uses cold-water gear to show HD real-time images of deep-water marine life and the environment. The NatGeo naturalists on the ship use its video microscope (80x magnification) to explain to passengers all elements of the marine ecosystems. The real-time images are displayed on the Ice Lounge's TVs. The Ice Lounge features a state-of-the-art audio-video system and 39x LCDTVs for presentations, and an electronic chart displaying the current ship position, course and cruising speed.
在温暖的水域提供浮潜服务,并在航程期间向所有乘客免费提供浮潜装备(面镜、通气管、脚蹼、潜水衣)。
游轮还设有图书馆(阅读休息室)、网吧、冰酒廊(设有全方位服务的酒吧)、24小时饮料站(咖啡、茶、水、果汁)、最先进的会议设施(适合旅行主题纪录片、港口会谈、幻灯片、媒体演示)、摄影工作室、洗衣房、泥房(带探险装备储物柜的探险基地)。
