Follow the renovation of The Ship Sørlandet summer 2024 - week 11
The school ship Sørlandet is at the "Bredalsholmen dokk og fartøyvernsenter" (BDF) shipyard in Kristiansand and will undergo hull repairs, get a new main deck, overhaul the rig, and much more. The shipyard period is scheduled to last from May 20, 2024 to August 25, 2024. The new school year on board begins on August 31, 2024, by which time the ship must be ready. The project is estimated to cost between NOK 32 million and NOK 34 million, depending on whether there are any works that have not been included in the plans. These works are necessary to renew the sailing permits for five more years and be ready to be one of the main attractions during Tall Ships Races Kristiansand 2025.
