Бот-шоу Номер 59 Ноябрь – Декабрь 2014

Выставка в Каннах в свое время перехватила у бот-шоу в Генуе звание самого большого яхтенного события Европы и не сдает позиций.

БОТ-ШОУВ КАННАХ

Бот-шоуНомер 59 Ноябрь – Декабрь 2014

ВнизуПанорама Cannes Yachting Festival 2014. В этом году на бот-шоу привезли 550 лодок.

Ожидания от обновленной выставки были весьма высокими, и организаторы свои обещания выполнили полностью. Под жарким солнцем Канн (погода тоже не подвела) в этом году нежились 550 лодок размером от пяти до 55 метров, и коли-чество посетителей зашкалило за 50 тысяч чело-век. Посмотреть было на что: только количество официальных мировых премьер на выставке при-близилось к сотне. Самой большой яхтой в Кан-нах стала 55-метровая Ocean Paradise от Benetti. Полностью соответствовать роскошному назва-нию ей помогает великолепный интерьер, создан-ный собственными специалистами итальянской верфи– как водится, при самом активном участии заказчика. Гигантская каюта владельца на яхте имеет собственный фиксированный балкон, на-слаждаться которым можно и на ходу.Итальянский долгожитель – верфь Baglietto – в этом году отметила 160-ю (!) годовщину. В роли

праздничного торта в Каннах выступала мировая премьера – 46-метровая водоизмещающая яхта, за внешний и внутренний дизайн которой отвечал человек-легенда Франческо Пачковски. Отрадно видеть, что дела у Baglietto, пережившей не самые лучшие времена, теперь идут весьма неплохо: но-вая яхта – лишь один из пяти новых проектов, над которыми сейчас работает верфь. С нетерпением ждем дальнейших новостей.Британцы Princess Yachts, как и обещали, высту-пили широким фронтом: на выставку они при-везли добрый десяток яхт, среди которых были и европейские премьеры (Princess S72 и 88MY), и обновленные версии мировых хитов, например, Princess 43. Надо сказать, «спортбридж» S72 по-разил элегантностью линий – казалось бы, добав-ление верхнего мостика должно было визуаль-но сильно утяжелить корпус, но лодка все равно выглядит легкой и изящной, а такой площади

Внизу Статус самой важной европейской выставки яхт у Cannes Yachting Festival не отвоевать.

остекления мы раньше просто не виде-ли на лодке длиной 27,5 метра. Гигантский стенд компании, помимо самих яхт, украшали собой еще и... мо-тоциклы! Великолепный датский «ка-стом» Lauge Jensen с вышитой на седле фирменной короной Princess наверня-ка заставил многих любопытствующих возвращаться к стенду не один раз.Две яхты привезла в Канны итальян-ская верфь Cantiere delle Marche – не-большое «бутиковое» семейное пред-приятие, твердо намеренное строить не более трех лодок в год. Зато каких! Крепко сбитый и ладно скроенный стальной «экспедиционник» Percheron, сданный владельцу два года назад, служил в Каннах живой иллюстрацией качества CdM. После двух лет путеше-ствий (например, из Анконы во Флори-ду и обратно, с заходом на Галапагосы и попаданием в ряд штормов, включая ураган «Сэнди») лодка выглядит, как новая! Краска на корпусе блестит, леера

и дельные вещи на палубе сияют нержавеющей сталью, и даже мебель внутри пре-красно выглядит после дли-тельных походов с четырьмя (!) детьми на борту. Вторая ях-та – Yolo, новейшее творение верфи, менее семейной и бо-лее «плейбойской» ориента-ции, тоже произвела прекрас-ное впечатление. Впрочем, о ней мы более подробно рас-скажем в следующих номерах. Пожалуй, самым скоростным экспонатом выставки стала 50-футовая G-Force 9 норвеж-ской верфи Goldfish – бру-тальное карбоновое чудови-ще, непринужденно летавшее вокруг порта на скоростях за 70 узлов. Помимо скорости (и способности держать ее при хорошей волне), эта помесь большого тендера и оффшор-ного гоночного катера запом-нилась стильным дизайном и… углепластиковыми занаве-сками вокруг туалета в каю-те.

Бот-шоу в Форт-Лодердейле – главное яхтенное со-бытие Америки и самая крупная выставка на воде в мире – в этом году проходило уже в 55-й раз.Текст – ГРИГОРИЙ ШИРВАНЯНЦ

Бот-шоуНомер 59 Ноябрь – Декабрь 2014

СМИ по всему миру уже не раз с восторгом оглашали цифру в четыре миллиарда долларов – примерно такова была общая стоимость всех экспонатов, представленных на огромной территории вы-ставочного комплекса Bahia Mar. Как заявил на завтра-ке для журналистов глава компании-организатора глав-ного американского бот-шоу Show Management Ефрем Цимбалист III: «Мы в этом году сделали все, чтобы FLIBS по-прежнему оставалась эпицентром яхтенного ми-ра». По его же словам, самой большой яхтой выставки в

этом году стала 60-метровая Benetti по имени Swan, а са-мой маленькой – нечто ре-зиновое длиной 2,6 фута (80 см). «Нечто резиновое», впрочем, увидеть своими глазами нам не удалось, по-тому что сразу за господином Цимбалистом выступал мэр Форт-Лодердейла Джек Сей-лер, поспешивший заявить, что уникальный экспонат он уже «застолбил» за собой, ибо накануне имел неосто-рожность пообещать жене купить лодку. Ядром выстав-ки стали лодки длиной до 60 футов – по словам орга-низаторов, 90% посетителей

имели вполне практический интерес именно к этому сег-менту, и рынок яхт именно такой длины сейчас пережи-вает прямо-таки бум. Много-этажные надстройки «спорт-фишеров», стройными рядами уходящие к горизонту – одна из наиболее запомнившихся картинок с выставки. Инте-ресные премьеры были, ко-нечно, и в сегменте мегаяхт. Benetti привезла только что сданную Veloce 140, первый корпус в серии Benetti Class Fast Displacement. Элегантная лодка дизайна великого Сте-фано Ригини демонстриро-вала высоты кастомизации – место мастер-каюты в ней занимает… огромный спорт-зал с четырьмя беговыми до-рожками!

американские премьеры яхт MCY 86, грандиозной Riva 122 Mythos, нового катама-рана верфи NISI… Увы, всех страниц нашего журнала не хватит, чтобы даже вкратце остановиться на всех приме-чательных лодках, продемон-стрированных на выставке в Форт-Лодердейле.Скажем лишь, что выставка прошла на эмоциональном подъеме и не оставила ни-каких сомнений, что, вопре-ки прогнозам пессимистов, следующий год будет хорош для всех секторов яхтенного рынка – как до, так и после шестидесяти футов.

на нижней палубе. Вопрос приоритетов, однако… Верфь Sunrise привезла во Флориду красно-белую Atomic (45 м), которую заказчик получил только в середине октября, то есть буквально накануне открытия бот-шоу в Форт-Лодердейле. Стильная яхта с интересной планировкой произвела хорошее впечатле-ние не только на нас – по со-общению представителей верфи предварительный контракт на строительство второго такого корпуса был подписан прямо во время выставки. А еще в Форт-Лодердейле состоялись

DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER

ZAPATOS CON ALMA

SE ALQUILA

Diamonds are Forever es propiedad del multimillonario John Staluppi pero, por suerte

para algunos (los que puedan darse el capricho), es generoso y lo comparte. En

verano se le puede ver por las costas francesas e italianas. En invierno, por las caribeñas. En

cualquier caso, el precio de alquiler de este barco de 61 metros de lujo exacerbado ronda

los 400.000 dólares a la semana.

El alma de Berluti. Es, con toda probabili-dad, el calzado para caballero más exclusivo del mundo. La «maison» asegura que emplea en cada par alrededor de 250 horas y su precio no baja de los 1.500 euros. Sus acabados, su brillo y sus colores son tan signifi cativos y tan característicos que todos saben quiÉn fi rma estos tesoros para los pies. Celebridades históricas de medio mundo los han solicitado y, como si de una sastrería se tratase, la casa se los ha diseña-do (aún lo hace) de manera totalmente personal. Un capricho, sin duda, distintivo.

Diamantes para la eternidad. No se trata de la célebre película de 007 pero éste, uno de los más espectaculares yates de Benetti, se basa en ella. Así lo quiso su dueño, el magnate del motor John Staluppi, acérrimo seguidor de la saga del agente secreto más famoso del celuloide. La casa italiana más antigua y prestigiosa en lo que a embar-caciones de lujo se refi ere siguió al dedillo las instrucciones del estadounidense, que quiso aunar la tecnología más puntera con el diseño más elegante, dotando al barco de todas las comodidades imaginables y ofreciendo las mejores prestaciones a sus inquilinos.Los suntuosos interiores se confi aron al aclamado Evan K.

Marshall, uno de los hombres más buscados del mundo para dar vida a estas impresionantes casas fl otantes. Incluyen dos suites panorámicas y cuatro habitaciones para el resto de invitados, todas con áreas privadas al aire libre; hasta 12 personas pueden viajar en el «Diamonds are Forever» junto a casi otra decena de tripulantes que harán de la estancia un auténtico sueño de lujo, exclusividad y atenciones por doquier. Maderas nobles, mármoles, ónix y cristales de Marieux bañan cada esquina de los sublimes espacios, y su gimnasio, jacuzzi, solárium y hasta helipuerto invitan a vivir por siempre surcando los mares sin otra preocupación que la de contem-plar el horizonte desde este palacio sobre las aguas.

Llegó el día y Cannes no falló. El salón náutico más internacional sirvió de escaparate para que los astilleros presentaran las novedades en Premier Mundial. El pasado mes de septiembre, una amplia delegación de nuestra redacción estuvo presente en el Cannes Yachting Festival, con un despliegue acorde a la gran cantidad de novedades que atender, cuyo cambio de nombre no hace más que renovar un estilo, para ser el salón número uno de presentaciones mundiales. Se trata de un evento que no para de crecer desde el día que se inauguró; así lo saben los astilleros de todo el mundo, que presentan sus novedades en el salón de todos.

That time again and Cannes never fails. The biggest international boat show, a stage for shipbuilders to launch the World Premieres of their latest models. Represented by a fair few members of our editorial team, we recently attended the Cannes Yachting Festival in September. The show’s change of name does no more than revive a style and with a showcase to match the great number of debutantes, Cannes outshines the rest for world premieres.

Tradition Supreme 108 My Paradis, pointing straight through the upper

deck lounge and up the stairs to the wheelhouse to the impressive central helm seat. This owner is, you see, that rarest of beasts aboard a 30-metre-plus yacht: an owner-captain.

He has a lengthy portfolio of previous yachts, increasing in size with every purchase, the twist being that he didn’t want to give up the precious independence and control that you get with being the captain of your own ship. “My previous yacht was around 30 metres but I didn’t commission it from new. It didn’t feel like mine,” he says. But the owner-driver model was something he wanted to continue with. “For a long time my family have loved the sea. We love being on the water and we love using the boat ourselves. This has always been the goal for us,” he says.

My Paradis is the first hull in a new composite displacement line from Benetti, building on the success of the original Tradition range, and adding a full third deck instead of a half deck. The early indications are that it will be just as popular with owners – the second hull has already been launched and is successfully cruising, while the third and fourth hulls are in build. The exterior styling has been given a more contemporary twist by Stefano Righini, with some harder angles and edges mixing delightfully with curves. The huge main-deck windows catch the eye, in the main salon area and further forward.

I want there to be a family AMBIENCE on board”

Commissioning a new yacht gave the owner an opportunity to use all his years of experience in creating the perfect environment for family cruising, and for this owner that My Paradis had to have one outstanding attribute – “this yacht had to be practical as this was to be a yacht that is used”.

The layout was one area in which his ideas about practicality could be implemented. “I didn’t want a big table in the main salon – this is such a waste of space,” says the owner. Instead, the main dining area is outside on the upper deck. It’s nicely shaded by the sundeck overhang and, should a discomforting evening breeze kick up, the sides of the deck can be filled with screens. A further big table on the sundeck is available for the full alfresco experience, though even here the hardtop above the roll-bar provides some respite from the heat of the day.

“Getting rid of the dining table makes the salon a more sociable place,” says the owner. Big sofas line both sides of the after part of the salon, and where you might expect to find a table there is a console hiding the TV. After a few months of cruising it is already proving to be a place where the family like to gather.

The spaces beyond the main deck salon – a galley to port, and a foyer leading to the owner’s cabin – is at first glance a typical solution, but forward of the galley is a well-appointed crew mess. It’s unusual to find such an area on the main deck, and at first seems to conflict with the owner’s stated aim to hardly use professional crew – “one or two crew max,” is how he puts it.

“This is still a big boat and we do need some help at times, but as a family, with my two sons, we can do most of the tasks on board. The whole family is involved with working the boat. Everyone is helping. This is what we like to do,” he says. “But when there are crew on

board I don’t want to the crew to feel as if there is a big separation. We are a big family and I want there to be a family ambience on board.” When the yacht, which will only cruise privately, is left for any time, there is a skeleton crew to look after it.

A specific request from the owner was to install hybrid power. “For me, it is essential. I don’t want to always take from the ocean,” he says. For normal cruising, the yacht’s range is 2,100 nautical miles, with a ten-knot cruise using the twin MANs. But Benetti developed a hybrid system using two 35kW motors, connected to the engines, but also capable of being powered by the yacht’s two generators. They system will be used for night passages at speeds close to seven knots. “I wanted to keep noise and vibration at a minimum while everyone is asleep,” says the owner.

It’s certainly a solution that has merits on this score – under way with hybrid drives at almost six knots, there was an eerie silence in the owner’s suite, with the water slipping by outside with barely a whisper as the hull cut through the gentle waves.

Benetti’s Centro Stile is responsible for the interior, with much owner input. A constant theme inside is a shadow play of light and dark. Big windows mean that there is plenty of natural light flooding in – those in the main deck owner’s suite, running almost from the ceiling to the floor, are particularly striking. Once inside, the light is made to keep working, with the limed oak joinery used throughout the accommodation areas. This hadn’t been the original choice of the main wood, and it was to have been used just as an occasional accent, but the owner’s family saw it and fell for it.

The solution for the walls is particularly interesting, as the limed oak has been set in floor to ceiling strips at

different levels, with the uneven surface catching the light in different ways. There possibly is a pattern to the uneven levels but they appear to be set a random, and it gives the walls a slightly undulating, three-dimensional texture, playing with the shadows as it goes.

Compared to the previous generation of Traditions, there is no panoramic window forward in the owner’s cabin, but there is a decent trade with those almost full-height windows. Perhaps, though, it is the family spaces that most catch the eye. The main salon – dining-table-less – has sofas either side, with a wonderful spot to port that has a coffee table and two chairs, making full use of the full-height windows. For a yacht this size, it certainly feels roomy in the main salon.

The bridge deck lounge is a cosier affair, with two four-person tables on one side and a sofa on the other. A surprising treat up here is the steam bath on the starboard side. A skylight and a window mean that it doesn’t feel enclosed.

While natural light is a key factor in My Paradis’s engaging interior, there is more going on. In the upper lounge this means some parallel LED strips on the ceiling – a solution repeated across all the suites. There is discreet lighting throughout the yacht.

Since launch in June the yacht has had a busy first season – a public debut at the Cannes Yachting Festival in September, and another show appearance at Fort Lauderdale planned for October, as well as a very busy season of cruising.

“The yacht was created by my family, for my family,” says the owner. This quirky and characterful yacht is fulfilling its brief perfectly, with her owner-captain still, as he has been since the project was first conceived, in

Sewol sentences are condemned Ferry disaster case has taken criminalisation of seafarers to a worrying new level, Union warns

1Nautilus International has voiced alarm at the lengthy sentences given to the master, three senior

offi cers and 11 other seafarers from the South Korean ferry Sewol, which sank in April with the loss of more than 300 lives.

Prosecutors had called for the death penalty to be imposed on the master, Cap-tain Lee Joon-seok, who was charged with homicide. He was alleged to have caused the disaster as he was in charge of the ferry, and had also been accused of failing to organise evacuation efforts and violating maritime law by leaving the ship before passengers.

Although he was acquitted of murder at the end of a fi ve-month trial, Capt Lee was found guilty of violating ‘seamen’s law’ and abandonment causing death and injury, and was sentenced to 36 years in prison. Park Gi-ho, the ferry’s chief engineer, was found guilty of murder and sentenced to 30 years. The remaining 13 crew members —including the chief offi cer and second mate — were sentenced to between fi ve and 20 years.

A total of 304 passengers and crew died when the ferry capsized during a routine voyage between Incheon and Juju. A Korean Coast Guard investigation said the ship had lost stability after an ‘unreasonably sudden turn’ to starboard caused a cargo shift. The vessel was also found to be carrying more than three times the amount of cargo than permitted.

Nautilus general secretary Mark Dickin-son said he was appalled at the severity of the sentences. ‘From the outset, there has been a concerted drive to criminalise the captain and crew in this incident,’ he said, ‘and these extreme penalties take the prac-tice of scapegoating seafarers to an unprec-edented level.

‘We have consistently raised concern about whether the crew would be given a fair trial,’ he added. ‘They weren’t, and we can’t expect a fair outcome. This isn’t jus-tice — it’s an act of shifting responsibility from a government agency and the oper-ating company for failings and outright illegality. Thus the sentences meted out are

about assuaging understandable public anger, and seem grossly unfair given the other known mitigating factors that have been highlighted in this case.

‘Issues including training, experience, safety management, ship design and con-struction, and the effectiveness of the regu-latory regime are all critical factors in this disaster,’ Mr Dickinson pointed out. ‘It is all-too easy for the South Korean authorities to pin the blame on the captain and crew, while ignoring deep-rooted underlying problems, and the rush to this kind of knee-jerk justice does no one any favours.’

The sentences also sparked a protest from the International Federation of Ship Masters’ Associations. General secretary Captain Hans Sande condemned the sen-tence of Captain Lee as ‘a travesty of justice’.

IFSMA said the treatment of the crew would not address the evidence of prob-lems affecting South Korea’s domestic shipping industry, and the captain and crew had been used as ‘pawns in a political game to divert attention from the industry’.

Capt Sande added: ‘The only good to come from this sentencing is the fact that the death sentence sought by the prosecutor was not upheld.’

IFSMA said Capt Lee had been ‘over-whelmed’ by what was taking place on his vessel as it capsized. ‘He did not react well, but should that be the reason for such a sentence? We are not born to be heroes, circumstances dictate those that do,’ Capt Sande stated.

The US-based International Organisa-tion of Masters, Mates, & Pilots (MM&P) also expressed concern at crew members being singled out for punishment while ‘systemic shortcomings’ in maritime regu-lations and enforcement were ignored.

‘Ferry disasters continue to occur with regularity around the world,’ said MM&P president Capt Don Marcus. ‘The concept that executing or imprisoning some sea-farers will in some way act to improve the national and international maritime standards that govern passenger vessel safety is as absurd as it is barbaric.’

'It’s time for shipping companies to take corporate social

responsibility seriously, the former head of the International Maritime Organisation warned last month.

The industry increasingly needs to be able to demonstrate that it has adopted measures ensuring ‘a reliable and well-trained labour force’ and good environmental and health and safety policies, Efthimios Mitropoulos told the Capital Link Shipping & Off shore CSR Forum.

‘Shipowners need to be aware that, even if they themselves can manage to operate away from the glare of publicity and the pressure of consumer concerns, these are now becoming key issues for many of their customers,’ he said.

‘As a result, those customers will, increasingly, be looking to manage their exposure in this regard by selecting business partners that have clear and verifi able CSR policies.’

Mr Mitropoulos called on companies to demonstrate balanced

decisions based on the integration of social, economic and environmental considerations.

‘Business is not, and cannot be, divorced from the rest of society,’ he stressed. ‘If we are to build a better future, concepts such as CSR and diversity in employment must become more than simply the latest business trends or fads.

‘Those companies that are proactive in developing and adopting CSR are likely to fi nd that regulatory compliance fi ts comfortably and easily within such an ethos, at the same time being able to serve as a platform on which a CSR policy can be built,’ he pointed out.

The former IMO secretary-general said that no formally established international principles for CSR in shipping had existed until a few years ago, and this had led to the concept not being as widely accepted as it had been in other industries.GFull conference report, see pages 20-21.

LARGE YACHT NEWS

by Michael Howorth

HAlmost half a century after he became the fi rst sailor to single-

handedly circumnavigate the globe, former Merchant Navy offi cer Sir Robin Knox Johnson has become the oldest competitor in a solo transatlantic sailing race.

Sir Robin, who spent a decade in the MN serving with the British India Steam Navigation Company and gaining his Master’s certifi cate in 1965, is one of the 91 participants in the Route du Rhum race from Saint Malo to Guadeloupe.

The 3,542-mile challenge is testing sailors to the limits of their mental and physical endurance. At the age of 75, the former deck offi cer is by far the oldest person taking part.

Sir Robin, a grandfather of fi ve, is sailing the aptly-named 60ft yacht Grey Power and said he was

taking part in the race because he is ‘not ready for the slippers, pipe and television’.

‘There are bound to be questions about my age,’ he admitted. ‘They ask what I think of doing this at 75 and I say I am still 45 — that is how I feel. I think I am 45 and that is where I stay. I feel no diff erent from when I last raced. I am pretty fi t. I lead an active life. I think of myself as young and that is it.

‘The sea is where I feel most at home,’ he added. ‘I am just not ready to stop racing yet, and why should I?

An estimated quarter of a million people lined the shore at Saint Malo to watch the start of the race, which got off to a rough start, in winds averaging 20 to 25 knots, and gusts of 35 knots. In the fi rst three days of the race, 17 of the 91 racers were forced to withdraw due to a variety of disasters and mishaps.

PNautilus International has welcomed the launch of a new security training

programme aimed at superyacht crews.

The Union has long cam-paigned against piracy and armed attacks on merchant shipping, and has expressed concern at a number of incidents involving violent raids on superyachts and their crews.

Maritime e-learning company Videotel International aims to help superyacht crews to meet the standards required by the International Ship and Port facil-ity Security Code (ISPS) and the

STCW Convention — all part of its new Maritime Security Aware-ness training course, launched at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show last month.

The package covers a wide range of security issues that superyachts may encounter when alongside a dock or other vessel, at anchor, and at sea. Sub-ject matter includes key threats, plans of action, and the impor-tance of communication during a security threat.

The course is presented as one overview programme, and it ena-bles superyacht crew of all levels to meet the minimum standard

of competence in security aware-ness according to the STCW Code updates that came into effect ear-lier this year.

It forms part of Videotel’s Safety on Superyachts series, which tackles subjects such as crew familiarisation and safety awareness, the safety procedures and yacht layout information that new crew must have within 48 hours of arriving onboard, fi re and emergency drills including man overboard, muster stations, and lifeboat drills, safe working practices and how best to brief guests about the safety proce-dures of the vessel.

‘Superyachts require fully cer-tifi ed crews for maritime opera-tion and all those serving onboard must comply with regulations and be aware of their responsi-bilities,’ said Videotel CEO Nigel Cleave.

‘Our Maritime Security Aware-ness programme provides a basic understanding of maritime security for seafarers of all ranks to increase their awareness of potential security threats.’

The Videotel training courses are available in many formats and platforms, including video, com-puter-based training, and interac-tive e-learning programmes.

Dutch ferry fi rm takes stake in Royal Huisman

Concept vessel for Fincantieri

AThe Dutch superyacht designer Cor D Rover has produced a

new concept vessel for Fincantieri. The 80.4m Skyback, above, was unveiled at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show.

Skyback features a long foredeck with a relatively straight bow, but her aft main deck is longer to accommodate a large, undercover pool that can be used in any weather conditions. The pool can be fully enclosed by a cleverly designed glass structure which folds away

into the yacht’s superstructure when not in use.

The yacht is designed with a six-deck accommodation plan for just 10 guests in four large suites, along with a private deck for the owner on the upper deck and space for up to 27 crew.

Twin engines would deliver some 2,465kW propulsion power, through two controllable pitch propellers. Skyback is designed to have a cruising speed of 18 knots and a range of 6,000nm at 12 knots.

FA Dutch ferry fi rm has made a substantial investment to become a key shareholder in

the Vollenhove-based superyacht builder Royal Huisman.

Doeksen Shipyard Holding, led by Royal Doeksen, which operates a fl eet of four passenger/car ferries and two fast ferries on three routes across the Wadden Sea, has taken a signifi cant stake in Royal Huisman, which was founded in 1884.

Doeksen managing director Jan Willem Doeksen will join the board at Royal Huisman, and there will be complete continuity of the current management and operational teams.

In addition to their royal warrants, both companies are Dutch family-owned businesses with a long and successful track record in the marine industry.

‘Given the increasing level of investment necessary to maintain a leading custom yard such

as Royal Huisman, we recognised that we had arrived at the right time to seek a suitable partner,’ said CEO Alice Huisman.

‘There will be some exciting developments showcasing our expansion plans, not least our goal to establish a deep water facility in a Dutch coastal location,’ she added.

‘These plans will enable us to achieve further successful growth of our already healthy orderbook for both newbuild and refi t projects.’
