On March 14, 2023, the heavy load carrier 'Abis Dusavik' made its way into the picturesque port of Concarneau at 8 a.m., ready to load the legendary research vessel 'Calypso'. This famous ship, once captained by Jacques Cousteau, is set for restoration in Istanbul, thanks to the dedicated efforts of the Cousteau Foundation. Captain Patrice Quesnel, who also leads the 'Alcyone', has been appointed to oversee the 'Calypso' project. He will be joined by esteemed Italian naval engineer Dr. Marco Cobau, who will supervise the refurbishment at a Turkish shipyard, ensuring that the ship closely resembles its original glory. While the restoration will retain much of the vessel’s original infrastructure, some navigation equipment will be updated for enhanced safety and modern standards. Notably, the ship will be fitted with new, eco-friendly engines that were purchased in 2009. Wrapped in a protective blue tarp, the former minesweeper is destined for a brighter future. Post-restoration, the 'Calypso' will fulfill educational and scientific missions, aiming to share its rich history and advocate for ecosystem protection, while engaging younger audiences.
