| VARD | 222M | "Somnio" (residential ship) | 2024 |

Another luxury Residential ship is about to start construction...called "Somnio". VARD secured the contract and the ship is expected to be completed in 2024 if all goes according to plan. This vessel is one of many residential ships that are either in design or construction. The last one to make headlines was the 293-meter "NJORD" which is also expected to be completed in 2024. Somnio on the other hand will have 39 apartments onboard and measure a healthy 33,500 GT. The design is by Tillberg while the interior is by Winch Design.

Another look at this colossal vessel.

When the vessel docks...it will be disposed of in that port. As a result of it being a residential ship... it doesn't mean it won't come to shore.

Here is a look at some accommodation via new renders recently released.

Interesting news coming out from this project. Winch Design was supposed to be doing some of the interior on this project. Australian businessman Carl Le Souef was ordered to pay a large sum of money to Winch Design in relation to this project. We know that Winch Design was part of the interior design team and you can see some of those interior renders above in previous posts. The High Court of Justice in London ordered the businessman to pay the design studio £733,750. This sum was related to unpaid invoices relating to design services for the same 222-meter residential 'superyacht' project.
