In 2017, our Research and Consultancy department was assigned with the conversion design study for the ice breaking multipurpose support vessel Sanaborg (also originally designed by Conoship International) to the unique explorer superyacht “Ragnar”. Based on the owners and Icon Yachts’ wishes and demands, we provided a technical general arrangement plan together with positive advice for the technical feasibility of this conversion.

During the conversion stage, we provided the complete naval architecture and detailed construction design and engineering of the new superstructure of the vessel, based on the current rules and regulations by Class (Polar code 5 and Large yacht code 3). Resulting in an ultimate adventure experience explorer superyacht, delivered with unsurpassed style and luxury, fully compliant within the applicable rules and regulations by Class. Ragnar was launched at the ICON Yachts shipyard in January 2020.
