87.9m Explorer Yacht Conversion Project Unveiled from Cloak of Secrecy

Emerging from the shroud of secrecy, a remarkably hushed 87.9-metre conversion project steps into the public eye. The said yacht is yet another testament to masterful craftsmanship, initiating its journey at the Stahlbau Nord shipyard, a subsidiary of Lloyd Werft’s owner, the Roenner Group.

This covert project has breathed life into what was once an offshore supply vessel known as ASL Symphony. However, the ship’s recent redux has rendered it almost unrecognisable. Its purchase in the first quarter of 2023 by an undisclosed private owner marked the beginning of her transformation into an able-bodied explorer that exudes grandeur.

Originally, ASL Symphony was birthed in the hands of the Indonesian builder, ASL Shipyard in 2015. This once vermilion workhorse, with a 21-metre beam and 4.7-metre draught, began her journey as the multi-purpose offshore tug-cum-supply ship named Energy Lindesnes.

According to data from BOATPro, prior to her conversion, this vessel had a volume of roughly 3,921GT. Post alterations, her volume is projected to increase to an approximate 5,000GT, making her not just a vessel, but a floating palace. Omnipresent are the innovative sheens on her diesel-electric propulsion system and azimuth thrusters, with the robust Dynamic Positioning 2 system effortlessly keeping pace. She holds a mighty top speed of 22 knots.

Despite being discreetly tucked into a shed in 2025, the vessel is all set for further outfitting works in Bremen her grand launch. With a repertoire of ambitious explorers such as Solaris and Luna under its belt, Lloyd Werft sails across familiar seas with this intriguing project.
