Conversion to Expedition Cruise Ship

The Australian tourism company Terra Nova Expeditions has purchased the combined cargo and passenger ship ST. HELENA (IMO 8716306).

Built in Aberdeen in 1990, the ship connected the British overseas island of ST. HELENA with the African mainland until 2018. This service was completely closed down in 2018.

In recent years, the ship was used by the Extreme E organization as a paddock for races with off-road electric vehicles. Now, the Australian tourism company Terra Nova Expeditions is acquiring the ship to convert it into an expedition cruise ship.

The ST. HELENA is 105 meters long, 19.2 meters wide, and has a gross tonnage of 6,767 tons.
