What the "Lord of the Highlands" looks like, a project fully implemented by Oliver Design that will be delivered shortly

Oliver Desing, a company specializing in shipbuilding design and architecture based in Getxo, has started the year 2020 with excellent prospects: its order portfolio points to a growth of around 30% at the end of the year, and the latest contracts signed guarantee a good level of activity for at least the next two exercises.

The company thus confirms the gradual recovery experienced in recent years, and the return to activity levels equal to those recorded in the period prior to the recession started in 2008.

The company has completed the year 2019 with a good balance of activity, in which the projects made for the last generation tuna boat "Aterpe Alai," built in Atileros Zamakona for the Bermeana Echebastar; the sophisticated shadow boat "Hodor," made in the Shipyards Armón de Burela; the fast ferry "Mar de Cíes," work of the same shipyard for the shipping Sea of Ons that operates in the Galicia; as well as two ships of coastal surveillance, built in the first shipyard for the Civil Service of the Guardia of Kuwait and the second shipyard of the Guardia de la. It should also be noted that in 2019 the "Scenic Eclipse" began to operate, a luxury and exploration cruise with the latest advances in whose architectural design was involved.

As for the projects under way, they add design and interior design work on a ten-year-old boat of the most varied type:

- A small luxury cruise, the "Lord of the Highlands," intended for cruise over the Highlands of Scotland and the Hébrida Islands, resulting from the reform in Vigo of a passenger boat operating in Turkey.
- The Smart Fast Ferry eco-efficient "Eleanor Roosevelt" for Baleària, the first in the world to be powered by natural gas engines, which is currently built in the Gujón Arm Shipyards and will operate in the Balearic Islands.
- The 28-meter tugboat "Ibaizabal Fifteen," built for the shipowner of the same name by Astileros de Murueta, which is in the last phase of its empowerment.
- A ship for the transport of live fish, the "Kristoffer Tronds," also built by Murueta Shipyards for a Norwegian shipowner.
- Two new Shadow boats, the new type of luxury yacht support ships, which like the "Hodor" have been hired to the Armón Shipyards of Burela.
- Various reform work on ships of the Britanny Ferries shipping company, which will be carried out in Santander shipyards.
- Finally, a new phase in the development of the architectural design of the "Ecoship," called to become the most ecological cruise in the world, commissioned by the Japanese NGO Peace Boat.

In addition to these projects already initiated, Oliver Design is in a position to sign new contracts that are in the advanced negotiation phase, such as the design of a new transoceanic cruise for a Spanish shipowner, as well as the transformation of a 90-meter-long yacht.
