This is superyacht news with eSysman
This is Motor Yacht Dilbar the most voluminous superyacht in the world. At 156 meters in length
and almost 16,000 gross tonnes she is by far the largest superior to float. Yes Azzam is 180 meters
but she has 3,000 gross tons less than Dilbar. So why are we talking about Dilbar
because a press release from the company building the largest super yacht in the world at 222 meters
have shown some interior concepts from some of the biggest names in design in the SuperYacht
industry. The private residence yacht is being billed as the largest superyacht in the world
dwarfing lengthwise even the current largest superyacht by volume Dilbar at 156 metres
she will be 66 meters longer than Dilbar and even 42 meters longer than Azzam
the longest superyacht currently by length as far as i know the volume of the 222 meter superyacht
which will be called Somnio is yet 33,500 Gross Tonnes. She is billed as a private resident SuperYacht
which is not really a thing not yet anyway the vessel will be registered as a passenger vessel
as she will have a guest capacity of at least 78 guests based on 39 apartments
however those apartments will most likely be as much as five to six bedroom affairs. As you know
anything that carries more than 36 guests is classed as a passenger vessel below 36 it can
come under the passenger yacht code which does not apply to this vessel. If you compare this to the
only current ship of this type named The World, she has a capacity of 165 units on board
ranging from studio apartments to full-size multi-bedroom apartments. The World is 196 meters
in length 34 000 gross tons and Somnio will be 26 meters longer and will have only 39 apartments
making this vessel much more exclusive. So the cost to build this vessel is rumoured at a
half a billion dollars. Yes, 500 million dollars to build and the launch date is currently in 2024.
She is being built by Vard in Norway which is part of the Italian shipbuilders Fincantieri which is
based in La Spezia in Italy. Vard is also currently finishing construction of Rev Ocean the near 200
meter research vessel. So SuperYacht Somnio will be only the second vessel of this type. Passenger
residence vessel although in the guise of a SuperYacht. Certainly looks like a SuperYacht
And the project is being overseen by the former captain of the resident ship: The World.
He quoted recently as saying "owners will share a truly unique lifestyle at sea
with a hand-picked crew and a never-ending global itinerary of carefully selected destinations and
experiences befitting a yacht of this nature." Now, the vessel like I said it's in the
guise of a SuperYacht but it certainly will not be registered as a SuperYacht it's the
closest thing you can come to a SuperYacht without actually buying your own SuperYacht right so
39 residences on a vessel of 222 metres that is a huge amount of space that those people will have
i'll be really interested to see more details on it like a GA or something
like that if i can get hold of a GA that would be fantastic we can go through it some of the
some of the interior designs are from Winch Design they are a very well known and respected
design agency in the yachting industry. So i look forward to seeing more about that i'm sure as as
the vessel progresses the more details will become available so stay tuned to the channel for updates.
Okay so the next story is one that we've been tracking for a while now Motor Yacht Luna the 115
meter superyacht that was arrested for three years in Dubai is now free and has transited the Suez
Canal has gone through the Mediterranean, refuelled in Gibraltar sailed up through the English Channel
around to Germany and she's now docked in Hamburg in Germany so as i have guessed Luna arrived
in Hamburg Germany and is awaiting a refit period........... Sources very close to the vessel let me say
have told me that she is indeed heading to Lurssen for the refit work she has cut she's currently
docked at the Blohm & Voss yard in some very tasty company including the 142 meter Nord by Lurssen,
delivered this year and most likely in for warranty work Nord is currently sitting in
a floating dry dock just next to where Luna is. And the mighty Dilbar is also there in dry dock
If you're wondering why she's at Blohm & Voss yard well Lurssen acquired Blohm & Voss shipyard
in 2016. so if i say Lurssen and it's in the Blohm & Voss shipyard it's still at Lurssen.
Blohm & Voss has a great history in shipbuilding including vessels like Motor Yacht Eclipse, Motor Yacht A and
even going back to the war and the the warship Bismarck which is one of the most infamous
German warships so she has a very big history in shipbuilding this picture that i'm showing
you on screen right now is a picture of uh of the Bismarck leaving the Blohm & Voss shipyard in Germany
in 1940. All right guys so um that's all i've got for now and the the footage of Luna arriving in
hamburg was sent in by one of my subscribers who wishes to remain anonymous which is fine
thank you very much for submitting that. If you have any more footage of Luna in
the shipyard be sure to get in touch uh in all the usual ways you can contact me through instagram
you can find my email address on the about page on the youtube channel um yeah i'd be happy to to um
see any footage that you have and if you have a website or a youtube channel or something i will
