The idea for the SeaWalk originated out of a need for alternatives to a costly conventional
pier design proposed for a new cruise destination in Sognefjord, Norway
The SeaWalk specifications are based upon Norwegian standards and technology developed
for the oil & gas industry in the North Sea and its harsh weather conditions
The SeaWalk is now fully developed and ready to enter production. The initial system will
be deployed in 2012.
Cruise Ventures AS owns all patents and IP rights as well as development, production and sales
rights for the project. Cruise Venture is privately held and 100% owned by its partners.
Changing market expectations, ships and cruise industry economics are driving cruise lines
toward more diversification in their itineraries than ever before. The lines want fresh destinations
to attract new passengers and differentiate their product from the competition. The most
recent additions to the fleet are so large that tendering is less of an option. |
