The Ferox and Vivax are not typical liveaboards. These former ice class Swedish Navy Ships (mine layers) are quite possibly the most robust liveaboards on the water. They have 11 mm steel hulls and have been put to the test during 7000 nautical mile voyages from Sweden to Colombia.
The ships are powered by twin Scania engines, reliable and environmentally friendly due to their low fuel consumption. Two generators ensure there is plenty of power aboard. There are few liveaboards in the world with their own waste-water treatment plant s(MSDs). The MSDs installed reflect our commitment to minimize impact to the marine environment. Extensive firefighting and lifesaving equipment can be found onboard including a fixed firefighting system for the engine space that can be operated remotely in a severe engine fire.
Cabins are all steel construction limiting the amount of flammable material in cabins. A primary hard wired smoke detector, a secondary battery powered smoke detector and emergency lighting in event of power failure. Large and well marked emergency escapes. In addition to safety we provide our guests with most valuable commodity onboard a ship... PRIVACY. All cabins are private with ensuite bathroom and individually controlled air conditioning.
