"Just a fast fact check on you information, the ship was build in Turkey: "correct!", but as an empty shell for a Norwegian shipyard, everything else was done in Norway."

This in fact not true. These four ships (HAVILA CAPELLA, CASTOR, POLARIS and POLLUX) were completely built by Tersan in Turkey, delivered there and sailed under their own power to Norway. They may have done some minor fixes etc in Norway, but interior outfitting was complete and all sea trials had already been done in Turkey. Havila had accumulated so many delays in building these ships that eventually all four had to be assiged to Tersan for complete construction there.

See also this interesting thread which has the whole history of the project from the beginning till now: http://skipsfarts-forum.net/index.php?t ... ollux.537/

Best,
Ralph
