Ulstein has been appointed ‘Best Industrial Design Company 2019’. Jury statement: A venturous company with solid experience that holds a strong IPR strategy.
In 2018, Ulstein Group recorded revenues of NOK 1.89 billion and an operating loss of NOK – 211.6 million. The result was partly caused by low exploitation of capacity in parts of the group.
The portfolio is based on our ‘compact concept’. This concept increases the competitiveness of such vessel designs by higher revenue making at lower financial and operational costs.
SunStone Ships has signed a contract with CMHI for the construction of vessel number six in the INFINITY series, all designed by Ulstein.
