Designing NEMO: building a volume production submersible

While for many of us, the idea of a £1 million purchase is entirely absurd, we can’t help but wonder what we could have for this amount of money… holidays, homes, or perhaps the fastest and most attractive supercars. 

Despite their extortionate cost, we see these supercars all the time – on our televisions, in the movies and, of course, on our roads, and it is this visibility that fuels many a dream to own one.

Dutch company U-Boat Worx is now taking this philosophy to the water, as it builds on its plans to  mass produce what it hopes could one day become the ‘supercar’ of the ocean: the privately owned submersible

First founded in 2005, the company has become the largest builder of private submarines in the market, in terms of output, commissioned vessels, number of employees and units in active use. Indeed, the Netherlands-based company has produced more submarines than all active manufacturers combined currently.
