The first 15 submarines will be delivered as early as the end of 2023.
U-Boat Worx has announced that the production of an innovative series of private submarines will be launched in September 2022. The company, which runs show at its revamped facilities in the Netherlands, is preparing to deliver the first 15 units in the fourth quarter of 2023.
The NEMO submersible, as previously announced, will dive to a depth of 100 meters. The width of the two-seater submarine will be 2.3 meters. And its easy descent and ascent system will ensure easy operation.
The first series of NEMO will create both a two-seater submarine costing from 590 thousand euros, and a model designed for one passenger - its price will start from 545 thousand euros. U-Boat said that the developed submarines will be at least 80% more affordable than competitors.
“We have taken on the mission of providing safe and easy access to the underwater world to as many people as possible. With the NEMO pricing revolution, we are taking the next step on this journey with the goal of having 1,000 submarines in service by 2030,” the company commented.
The new U-Boat production line will make it possible to shorten the previously planned time frame of the project by 1-2 years on average. Thus, the company expects to provide the first deliveries by the end of this year. Last spring, U-Boat also introduced the NEXUS, a two-seater submersible with a maximum diving depth of 200 meters.
