Just under a year since the yacht first hit the water, the Kleven 107m Ulysses has been out on sea trials in the North Sea.

Built by Norwegian yard Kleven, she is the smaller sister to a 116-metre explorer superyacht also in build by the yard and scheduled for delivery in 2016.

The 107-metre expedition support vessel has been designed by Marin Teknikk, with interiors by H2. A 21-metre tender, pool and helicopter hangar feature, and she will accommodate 60 guests.

Both yachts are commissions from New Zealand owner Grahame Hart, who previously owned a 59.7-metre explorer from Trinity Yachts, also called Ulysses.
