Earth 300 instance of research vessel
Earth 300 is an organization that aspires to both inspire and support oceanographic research and awareness of the climate crisis. It has designed a scientific research vessel which, if built, would be the largest ever superyacht, 300 m (980 ft) long. It intends to host experts in diverse fields, enabling interdisciplinary research into climate change, oceanography, and sustainability issues. The vessel's distinctive appearance also aims to draw attention to the health of the climate and oceans. Earth 300 has assembled individuals from a variety of backgrounds and formed partnerships with companies to provide different aspects of the vessel's technology. The organization aims to launch the vessel in 2025.Goals and purpose
Earth 300 is the idea of Aaron Olivera. Olivera previously organised finance for the Porsche-designed Royal Falcon One superyacht. He was inspired to found the organization after seeing coral dying from ocean acidification while on a trip to the Maldives. Olivera describes the goal as "to build the Olympic torch of global science:" a vessel whose design will "capture peoples' attention but also their hearts and imaginations" and focus them on the problem of climate change.The vessel was designed by Ivan Salas Jefferson whose firm, Iddes Yachts, worked with the Polish naval architecture firm NED. It is intended to support scientific research into global climate change and other major challenges while also raising public awareness. The design provides for 22 on-board laboratories and the first commercial ocean-going quantum computer. As well as inspiring the general public, the modernist design is intended to attract eco-tourists who would subsidise the voyages, allowing scientists and students to travel for free. There will be ten luxury suites for these passengers, and ten additional suites for people whose expertise or experience will help the voyage but who could not otherwise afford the voyage. Olivera has stated that the research conducted on Earth 300 will be open source, shared in real time with the rest of the scientific community.
