Overview
The Clement Corporation is a large multinational and diversified corporation headquartered in Ekklesiovsk in the Pontifical States, and owned in the majority of its shares by the Holy See. The corporation currently operates a cruise line, airline, bus service, water taxi service, resorts, travel agency, credit union, carwash, gas stations, media service, and a theme park on Clement Isle in the Northern Basin.
Clement is the largest corporation in the Pontifical States, and is responsible for an average of ten percent of the country's GDP. It is the only corporation to have a semi-autonomous territory within the country. The corporation also operates in nearly every country on the Doggerlands as well as services to mainland Europe, Lancastrian Canada, and the Polaris One international space station.
The company is named after Pope Saint Clement, the fourth Pope of the Catholic Church and the patron saint of mariners, owing to the company's origins as a maritime passenger travel service.
Due to the majority ownership of the corporation by the Holy See, all Clement vehicles and vessels may be requisitioned by the government of the Pontifical States to serve as troop transports or hospital ships when called upon.
Operations
Cruise Line
Clement Cruise Line is the original operation of the company and remains the most profitable branch and flagship operation of the business. The line currently operates two Northerner II-class meter cruise ships, and two Ekklesiovsk-class ocean liners servicing the Doggerland-Lancastrian Canada route. All four vessels home port is the Port of Ekklesiovsk in the Pontifical States, except for the NS Lancastria, which is registered in Lancastria.
Clement is the only ocean going maritime commercial passenger service on the Doggerlands.
Fleet
Northerner II-class
The successor of the Northerner-class, the Northerner II is the workhorse of the Clement cruising fleet. Each of the six planned ships in this class can carry over 2,000 passengers, and offer a wide range of amenities.
The vessel is 300 meters by 33 meters, and is diesel powered.
Four further vessels of this class are planned for construction in 3026-3030.
Ecclesiovsk-class
The SS Ecclesia is the fastest ocean liner ever built, along with her sister ship, SS Lancastria, servicing the Lancastria-North American route. A third liner of the Ecclesia-class was planned, the SS Republik, however after Pontifex Konstantin IX cut the government's portion of the funds the project was cancelled. The vessel is 290 meters by 29 meters, and is nuclear powered.
Air Line
Clement Air Lines is the official airline of the Pontifical States. Currently the company only operates one type of twin engine jet, the Krasin-301.
