Designers have turned the Shelf Express yacht into a vessel for exploring the world


The vessel's cruising speed is 10 knots, and its maximum cruising range is 12 thousand nautical miles.

Swedish designer Dennis Ingemansson has completed the renovation of the 61-metre commercial vessel Shelf Express, creating a "world exploration yacht" based on it.

The updated yacht, the result of a collaboration between C-Quest Yachts, Dennis Ingemansson and Njord by Bergman Design House, has been named Cassius.

As part of the project to transform the Damen vessel into a “world exploration yacht,” Ingemansson worked on redesigning the exterior. The vessel received two new decks, one of which is used as a full-fledged helipad, and the other serves as additional guest comfort.

After the completion of the reconstruction, the total carrying capacity of the vessel increased by 1.5 thousand tons. The yacht is capable of accommodating up to twelve guests and up to 16 crew members, as well as ample storage space.

Below deck, Cassius features a cinema, illuminated pool and spa for guests. The vessel has a cruising speed of 10 knots and a maximum range of 12,000 nautical miles.

In line with the latest trends, Njord by Bergman developed the interior concept of Cassius with a sustainable development strategy. The negative impact on the environment was minimized during construction. The interior of the vessel, which uses eco-wood, marble and gold details, is described as “masculine, yet feminine.”

“We follow natural beauty, not trends,” said Albin Berglund, co-founder of Bergman Interiors. “Nature is wild and powerful, but it must be preserved. Every element has been carefully considered down to the smallest detail.”
