News Editor, Conor Feasey’s exploration into the prickly subject of teak offers an enlightening perspective. He delves into his interactions with major players like Feadship, Lürssen, and Oceanco regarding their innovative strides towards sustainable teak alternatives. Bringing in an element of suspense, the accounts are serialized – with the first part already in circulation, and the final one set to follow.
For a taste of this innovation, one just has to glance at the 142-metre Dragonfly, fitted with 300 square metres of helipad decked in Tesumo. Lürssen’s remarkable facility lies on the banks of the Weser River in Bremen, Germany. It may not appear significant, but it has been the ground zero for a new standard in yachting.
In a formidable display of maritime artistry, Dutch yacht manufacturer, Oceanco, announced the launch of its latest masterpiece, the 111-metre superyacht, Y726. This is not just any launch; it’s a testimony to design ambition, robust engineering, and collaboration. The Y726 promises to set new standards in the luxury maritime sector and transform how we perceive grandeur at sea.
Commissioned in 2022 by an experienced and returning client, the yacht rose from the depths of Oceanco’s Alblasserdam facilities. It flaunts a 16-metre wide beam and a gross tonnage of 4,550GT, earning the title as one of the largest yachts by volume ever constructed by the shipyard. The yacht’s exterior, the creation of world-renowned designer Espen Øino, is complemented by an elegant, family-oriented interior from Mark Berryman. The intricacies of naval architecture have been meticulously planned and executed by the Lateral Naval Architects, in tandem with Oceanco’s in-house team.
