Marine design for durability and experience

Norway-based Brim Explorer started from a passion for the ocean. While working in Arctic ocean tourism, Brim Explorer’s co-founders, Agnes Árnadóttir and Espen Larsen-Hakkebo, saw the challenges presented by polluting, noisy and poorly designed ships that lessened the guests’ experiences and harmed the environment.With an idea and dedicated partners, they set out to build a ship unlike any the world has seen. In March 2018, Agnes and Espen teamed up with designer Einar Hareide, the shipyard Maritime Partner and a team of daring suppliers to build a unique platform for ocean experiences.In this episode, host Halvor Molland is joined by Agnes and Espen from Brim and our own market manager Thomas B. Svendsen in Hydro’s Marine & Offshore business to talk about Brim's project and discuss the use of aluminium in marine applications.
