Update 10/11/2023: REV Ocean Foundation has now made the following statement about the continuation of works on the 182.9-metre yacht;

"An agreement on completion of the REV Ocean vessel has been reached with the shipbuilder VARD. To ensure the functionality of the vessel, the vessel will be lengthened by 12 meters and modified in certain areas. This will also provide more space and increased science capacity in the main hangar of the vessel. VARD now expect to deliver the vessel in February 2025, which means that the vessel will be operational from Q4 2026. VARD will undertake the rebuild at VARD's facilities and in dock at suitable location in Norway. Final completion activities will as previously planned be carried out after delivery from VARD at a location to be decided closer to VARD's delivery. "

In addition to this statement, the team has shared new renders of the yacht, which show the reduction of her upper decks and the removal of the original glass observation space.

After a highly publicised 2 year pause in construction, work has restarted on the 182.9-metre research superyacht REV Ocean, according to Norways business newspaper E24. REV Ocean, which is due to be the largest superyacht in the world when launched, belongs to Norwegian businessman Kjell Inge Røkke and has been designed as a floating research facility.
