PONANT has taken delivery of the first hybrid electric polar exploration ship powered by Liquefied Natural Gas, Le Commandant Charcot, as the 13th fleet in its line. The ship has 123 staterooms, which is certified as a Polar Class PC2 ship, with 100% waste sorted on board and waste treatment. "Delivery of Le Commandant Charcot is both a culmination and the beginning of a new kind of odyssey for the company. The construction of this prototype ship demanded extremely high standards in terms of quality. I am proud of the work that our teams have accomplished," said Hervé Gastinel, CEO of PONANT. The ship is scheduled to sail in remote locations such as the North Pole, Northeast Greenland's National Park, the Svalbard archipelago, the Bellingshausen Sea, and the Larsen Ice Shelf.
