The ship was built by Damen, a Dutch shipbuilder, with the first stage of construction – building the steel hull – being carried out at a Damen shipyard at Galati on the Black Sea coast in Romania at the mouth of the Danube.

Every stage of construction was supervised by a special team of RNO officers who lived in Romania and the Netherlands while the ship was built.

The hull of the new ship was launched in November 2013, and was then towed by tug down through the Black Sea, through the Bosporus and then right through the Mediterranean.

After battling through the stormy Bay of Biscay, the ship arrived at Vlissingen in Holland in January 2014, where the final stages of construction were completed including the task of installing the complex rigging.

Sophisticated navigation and communication technology were also installed.

The ship’s first long voyage was through the Mediterranean, the Red Sea, the Arabian Sea and the Oman Sea to reach the Omani capital, Muscat.
