Oliver Design completed a similar project for the same client in 2000, allowing Magna Carta to offer a unique tourist cruise taking in Loch Ness and the Hebrides Islands via the historic Caledonian Canal.<\/p>\n<p>Under the turnkey contract signed in September, the \u201cNecdet Ali Yildirim\u201d has now been transferred to the northern Spanish port of Vigo, where it arrived on 22 October. The two-deck ferry formerly plied a seven-kilometre route between the Turkish port of \u00c7e\u015fme and the Greek island of Chios. It is now to be converted into a luxury vessel capable of housing 50 passengers on four decks and embarking on week-long voyages.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3702\" src=\"https:\/\/oliverdesign.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/image.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"919\" height=\"418\" srcset=\"https:\/\/oliverdesign.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/image.png 919w, https:\/\/oliverdesign.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/image-300x136.png 300w, https:\/\/oliverdesign.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/image-768x349.png 768w, https:\/\/oliverdesign.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/image-800x364.png 800w, https:\/\/oliverdesign.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/image-385x175.png 385w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 919px) 100vw, 919px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-IE\">The ship is to be rechristened the \u201cLord of the Highlands\u201d and reregistered under a British flag.

lang=\"EN-IE\">2000, Oliver Design worked with the Magna Carta Steamship Company on a similar contract, rebuilding a 1985 ferry then operating on the Aegean to operate as a small-format liner providing tourist cruises in Scotland. The \u201cLord of the Glens\u201d is 46 metres in length by 10 in the beam and has a GRT of 729 tonnes. It has four decks and can accommodate 54 passengers and 20 crew. As well as this initial conversion work, Oliver Design also carried out rehabilitation and an upgrade in 2015.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-IE\">Like the \u201cLord of the Highlands\u201d when it comes into service, the \u201cLord of the Glens\u201d has allowed Magna Carta to offer unique cruises lasting several days between the North Sea port of Inverness and the Hebrides, by way of the famous Loch Ness and the Caledonian Canal. The canal is an extraordinary feat of early nineteenth century engineering, linking Scotland&#8217;s east and west coasts through the Great Glen, a geological fault traversing the highlands which runs through the world-famous Loch Ness.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-IE\">The 97-kilometre canal links Inverness and Fort William and is one of the great tourist attractions of the Scottish Highlands. One third of its length is man-made. Work on the canal began in 1803 and was completed in 1822. Until 2004, only small recreational craft were able to traverse the 29 small locks along the canal.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-IE\">With the outfitting of the \u201cLord of the Glens\u201d, to be followed in 2019 by its sister ship, the \u201cLord of the Highlands\u201d, Magna Carta has become the first tourist operator to offer cruises along this historical route, the first maritime connection between two areas of great tourist appeal \u2014 Loch Ness and its North Sea outlet and the Scottish west coast and Hebrides (including Mull, Iona and Skye).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"&quot;MV Lord of the Glens&quot; -- Fort Augustus locks -- time lapse\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/JhK4Y0Lrf_c?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>* <strong><u>Video<\/u><\/strong>\u00a0\u201cLord of the Glens\u201d","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>OLIVER DESIGN REFASHIONS TURKISH-REGISTERED FERRY AS LUXURY CRUISE SHIP, TAILORED FOR THE CALEDONIAN CANAL AND SCOTTISH COAST The firm has signed a contract with the UK&#8217;s Magna Carta Steamship Company, for which it completed a similar project in 2000, converting a Greek ferry into the luxury \u201cLord of the Glens\u201d. \u00a0The refurbished vessel is to..<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":3683,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[65],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.0 -
