Not sure who builder was for the one you are talking about MattyBoy, but OCEAN WARRIOR was built by Damen.

Is that the same design as Italy's MONTE SPERONE P-01 ??

Thanks Andrew,there is a great video of it on youtube of its maiden voyage.

Nice catch of Sea Shepherds new vessel

Thanks Clyde and Iappino for the info.

Vlad. It would not surprise me if you are correct. That would not be inconsistent with "Thanks to the generosity of the Dutch Postcode Lottery, the People’s Postcode Lottery in the United Kingdom and the Svenska Postkod Stiftelsen in Sweden, Sea Shepherd has built a new state-of the-art patrol vessel, the Ocean Warrior, faster than any other ship in our fleet"

See its website http://www.seashepherdglobal.org/ow/

Clyde, maybe it's because this brand new ship hapenned to be a victim of the recent offshore market downturn...?

Cheers

Vlad

Good catch Paul. "It’s the first time in Sea Shepherd’s nearly 40-year history that the organization has been able to purchase a brand new ship"
