Specifications

Evohe’s size and endurance make her well suited to transporting and supporting expeditions to remote locations. Built by the De Wachter Shipyard in Antwerp in 1979, she was designed to operate in harsh conditions. All essential systems are duplicated, including two main engines. She carries substantial fuel reserves, produces her own fresh water and is equipped with large freezers, enabling her to be self-sufficient for several months at a time.
