Storylines, a pioneering force in the residential ship industry, has renewed a shipbuilding contract with Brodosplit shipyard based in Split, Croatia, to construct the world’s first environmentally sustainable private residence ship. The signing of the construction contract marks a significant milestone in the realm of maritime innovation.
Vessel features
The vessel, named MV Narrative, will stand as a testament to combining luxury living and environmental responsibility. The vessel will be 778 feet (233 meters) and accommodate 531 private residences, using liquid natural gas (LNG) propulsion, positioning it as a trailblazer in sustainable maritime transportation.
Brodosplit’s president of the board Tomislav Debeljak added, “Since the last contract, a lot of work has been completed for the ship’s design in preparation for the construction. The technical teams from both sides have worked together intensively with external experts in the fields of hydrodynamics, noise and vibration; also with experts of main equipment suppliers and Lloyd’s Register classification society. Today, we have a vessel with design-implemented improvements concerning sustainability, cyber security, propulsion & drive, etc. We have an eco-friendly vessel of optimal performance in accordance with applicable rules and regulations.”
The commitment to sustainability extends beyond propulsion, with initiatives such as waste-to-energy conversion, a zero-waste farmer’s market and a farm-to-table restaurant showcasing Storylines’ dedication to eco-conscious living.
The pricing of the residences aboard MV Narrative range from $1 to $8 million, with limited co-ownership opportunities available starting at $598,000.
As conscientious global citizens, residents spend an average of three days in each port and give back to local communities. Experiential learning is integrated into curated itineraries and immersive shore excursions.
