Investing in cruise vessels is in vogue these days. Ship merchants all over the world are keen to invest in a high-end cruise vessel to increase their bottom line. However, they have to take three main things into consideration before they invest millions in buying the ship, like:
- Capacity
- Size and Dimensions
- Machinery
Furthermore, you have to consult the ship brokers and negotiate a price that will be suitable for both parties. Within a reasonable short time you will take delivery and be the owner of your own cruise vessel. Then again, you may face difficulties in surveying, rebuilding, drydocking, conversion, upgrading, refurbishment, ship management and other sectors.
But, it is not the same in the case of Norwegian Ship Sale AS. With a rich experience of 4 decades, we provide maximum assistance to our clients from the day they contact us for a consultation to the day they receive ownership of their cruise vessel.
