The ship was originally designed as a DP, Heavy Lift Ship for the offshore market.

It was subsequently acquired by Subsea 7 during the build stage and converted into a state-of-the-art Offshore Construction Vessel.

The vessel is now operational and currently working off the west coast of Africa.

This presentation by Tom Welsh, Seven Borealis Project Director, Subsea 7, gives an insight into the operational advantages of the Seven Borealis plus the challenges that arose during the design, build and testing phases, together with some examples of the offshore operations that the vessel will undertake.
