Navis Consult, a growing ship design and engineering firm based in Switzerland, has been awarded the contract by Brodosplit shipyard for the complete Structural Basic Design and Interior Basic Design of MV Narrative, a luxury residential vessel for Storylines at Sea. The Navis team has already begun working alongside key project partners, including Bluetech Finland, Gelen Marine, and Brodosplit's engineering team, to bring this innovative project to life.
The 233-meter-long ship will house 531 private residences across 18 decks, accommodating 1,498 passengers served by a crew of 450. With LNG propulsion and cutting-edge energy efficiency technologies, MV Narrative is setting new environmental standards for luxury residential ships.
