Further Mega-Yacht contract awarded to Blohm + Voss.
Hamburg, December 10th, 2004.
Following the signing of a contract for a large Mega Yacht beginning
of November 2004, Blohm
+ Voss have announced today the signing of another contract
for the construction of a large Mega Yacht. The Mega Yacht, going
by the Blohm + Voss project name SIGMA,
has
been assigned the construction number 970 and will also be delivered
in 2007.
The spectacular Philippe
Starck (France) design for this 118 m yacht will be constructed
under the supervision of "Blue Ocean Yacht Management" under the
lead of Neil Wade. At present, the same company supervises the refit
of the 114 m MY Pelorus
at Blohm + Voss for a different owner.
Like with any other yacht contract of Blohm + Voss, further details
of the contract will be kept strictly confidential.
The signing of this contract is the result of an intensified strategic
orientation towards the construction of Mega Yachts and underlines
the competency of Blohm + Voss. These two yacht contracts will guarantee
a good utilisation rate in the fields of construction and manufacturing
of Blohm + Voss for the next two years. The future industrial corporate
structure of the merger of the companies ThyssenKrupp Werften and
Howaldtswerke Deutsche Werft
(HDW) that was announced as early as in October 2004 will ensure
that the staff of HDW will also be involved in the contract works.
