PROTESTKULTUR AUF NEUEN PLANKEN - DER BAU DER BELUGA II - GERMAN VERS.

For the first time Greenpeace built a brandnew ship. The motor sailer BELUGA II of the Klipper Aak-type has two switchable masts and is the succession of the 20 years old BELUGA.. The new Greenpeace vessel was built at the Fridtjof Nansen shipyard in Wolgast/Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. With this new development Greenpeace breaks up with an old tradition; since now Greenpeace vessels have been bought second hand and have been reconstructed adequately. Due to the multi-functional design the Beluga II is able to match different tasks. The Klipper can be deployed at Europes rivers and coastal seas and has a range of 2700 kilometers nonstop. The construction of the Beluga II is financed by the inheritance of Ilse Vormann. technical specifications Beluga II: length: 28;40 meter width: 5;60 meter draft: 1;40 meter supression: 115 tons machine: 243 kilowatt max. speed: 12 knots min. crew: 4
