"It is gratifying that the hull is finally here," Lt. Gen. Kjell Grandhagen, head of Norway's intelligence service. "The vessel will be an important step in furthering the missions of the intelligence service in the far North, and constitutes a modern capacity to help ensure the service's information needs for the next 30 years."

The ship is 413 feet long and 77 feet in the beam, and will enter service in 2016.

Norway's intelligence service has operated surveillance ships in the Barents Sea for nearly 60 years.

"This is an important project to ensure Norway's interests in the North, and monitoring of developments in an area that is strategically important for Norway," Grandhagen said. "Parliament's decision to invest in a new intelligence vessel is a signal that continuous Norwegian presence in the northern areas is a high priority."
