A $ 1.5 billion resident ship ordered from Brodosplit
Storylines and Brodosplit have formalized the signing of a new construction contract for the delivery in 2025 of a “residence” cruise ship.
According to a note, the agreement has a value of 1.5 billion dollars for this 547-bed LNG-powered ship.
It should be remembered that the Div Group, owner of Brodosplit, has long been in a form of pre-bankruptcy protection in Croatia.
The price of residences on the ship ranges from $ 1 million to $ 8 million for the life of the ship, with a limited number of 24-year leases starting at $ 647,000.
“We are thrilled to partner with such a reputable European shipyard with a long history of high quality passenger ships,” said Alister Punton, managing director of Storylines. “Our resident owners are looking forward to moving aboard this state-of-the-art ship to be able to travel the world from the comfort of home”.
“We are delighted to build this innovative ship with Storylines,” said in turn the chairman of the board of directors of Brodosplit, Tomislav Debeljak, again according to the same announcement.

Brodosplit JSC is a member of the DIV Group and is at the head of group of companies with a long and bright tradition. Brodosplit is one of the most famous European shipyards. It was founded in 1922 by merging several smaller shipyards in Split, on a location near the airport, as well as cargo and passenger international port and the historic city center.
Brodosplit, in its dominant program, develops, designs, and builds the most complex vessels and floating structures, as well as the most complex steel structures for infrastructural, traffic, energy, process, and general application.
Positioning Brodosplit in the niche of building and manufacturing complex ships and large structures (motor yachts, passenger ships, Venice gates, bridges, special purpose vessels) and carrying out jobs obtained through a competitive offer on the world market (offshore and onshore) are the main goals for the coming period.
The company has turned to projects and products that bring greater added value, and since 2013 we have a fleet of ships whose use, i.e., charter, complements the business.
