On offer is a quality ship with great heritage. She used to be the last Royal Mail Ship with passenger capacity, serving the islands of St.Helena from Capetown, SA. After her official retirement from HMS duties she was completely overhauled and outfitted to serve as mothership for the Extreme E campaign of electric rally racing. She recently cruised to the Red Sea and visited Jeddah and is now in the UAE and looking for a new visionary owner to use her full potential. She is ideal for cruising and supplying remote islands, as a research vessel, as company head quarters, supply and accommodation vessel or even Superyacht support at attractive price and high quality interior.
