Brim Explorer About Us

Brim Explorer is a distinguished maritime company operating in Northern Norway and Oslo, offering silent, sustainable, and innovative sea experiences. With a fleet of meticulously designed ships, Brim Explorer prioritises guest satisfaction while minimising its environmental impact. The company's commitment to preserving the natural habitat is evident through their hybrid-electric engines, ensuring minimal noise and vibration, thus preserving the tranquility of the surroundings. Moreover, Brim Explorer's dedication to immersing guests in the wonders of marine life and the breathtaking Norwegian coastal landscape is showcased by their deployment of underwater drones during tours. This enables visitors to witness the captivating world beneath the sea's surface, bringing them closer to wildlife and creating unforgettable experiences.

MS Brim, the company's first ship, embodies the spirit of Brim Explorer. Named after the Old Norse term for 'breaking wave,' MS Brim was launched in 2019 and christened in Tromsø. The vessel symbolises the company's unwavering commitment to providing exceptional sea journeys. Alongside their flagship ship, Brim Explorer boasts the Berg, formerly known as Bard, which operates in Svalbard and Tromsø. Additionally, the introduction of their third ship, Bris, equipped with electric propulsion, further signifies their progressive approach to sustainable maritime exploration. As a brand, Brim Explorer distinguishes itself through its customer-centric ethos, the integration of innovative technologies, and its relentless pursuit of preserving the beauty and serenity of Norway's coastal regions.

Our ships are among the most flexible boats in the world and can be recharged at any port. The batteries can have enough capacity to run for 8 hours at a speed of 5 knots.

Built with recycled and recyclable aluminum, the ships are lightweight and energy efficient. With comfortable lounges, panoramic windows and several outdoor decks, guests can enjoy spectacular views without the hassle and pollution.

Our vision is to have a ship that is both sustainable and the ultimate vessel to explore nature and deliver a high-end experience for our guests.

The ships are designed by award-winning industrial designer Einar Hareide and built by Maritime Partner in Ålesund.

MS Brisen

In 2022 we will launch our third ship: MS Brisen. Innovation continues, both on the technical parts of the ship, as well as the guest experience. Some changes that we have in store for MS Brisen versus MS Brim & MS Berg are:

  • Carbon fibre hull instead of aluminium
     
  • Forward-facing windows next to the entrance
  • Better & more efficient heating and aircon systems
  • Fully electric propulsion with innovative engine & new battery design
  • Larger indoor saloons with better & more flexible seating arrangement

We strive to improve our ships with every design and we acknowledge that there is a constant necessity for critical thinking and innovation to make each ship better for the guest & less polluting for the environment.
