MIJDRECHT, THE NETHERLANDS
THE NETHERLANDS Dutch facts, figures and statistics A HISTORICAL LAUNCH A vital landmark for Feadship, Camargo IV was the first yacht to be delivered under the new Feadship-Holland U.A. name. With a length of 35.25m and breadth of 6.61m, this was the largest yacht ever built by De Vries at this time. With a steel hull and aluminum superstructure, the yacht benefited from the very latest radar and automatic pilot equipment. The automatic sprinkler system, fresh water makers and air conditioning were also ultra modern by the standards of the day. And there were even four televisions and an Ampex hi-fi system on-board. After many other names she now sails under the name M/Y Smooth Operators.
With a coastline of over 450km, much of the country has been reclaimed from the sea, and is the most densely populated country in Europe

LOOKING TO THE FUTURE IN DUTCH YACHTING Marcel van de Spek, Chairman of the Holland Yachting Group, powered by the Netherlands Maritime Technology (NMT) talks about the groups remit to promote the Dutch superyacht industry on a global scale
T
he Dutch maritime industry is a valuable part of The Netherlands economy as well as being an important historical contributor to the global maritime trade. The Netherlands Maritime Technology (NMT) trade association is the first port of call for and primary representative of the Dutch maritime technology sector. The 400+ members include shipyards, marine equipment suppliers and service providers, all united within a close and highly successful network. At the end of September 2019, a group of prominent superyacht companies and trade association Netherlands Maritime Technology (NMT) announced that they were joining forces. This strategic alliance focused on the worldwide branding and export promotion of the superyacht building industry and strengthening the entire Dutch maritime manufacturing industry. In the last months of 2019, NMT spoke with almost all shipyards and suppliers to determine what specific needs they have as the basis for the activities in the new program, then under the temporary working name NMT Superyacht Platform. This programme was presented at the beginning of 2020 and it has now been announced that they will continue under the name Holland Yachting Group. The board members of Holland Yachting Group are from businesses within the superyacht arena and will represent the companies within the broader Holland Yachting Group. The remit of the group is to champion The Netherlands globally as a superyacht industry leader in design, new build, refit and innovation with an emphasis on quality and an expert work force. Marcel van de Spek, confirms “Operating under the umbrella of the NMT will provide the organisation with a larger voice on any legislative change that could positively or negatively affect the industry.” In 2019, the value of the superyacht order book reached €4.0 billion for 51 yachts of 24 metres and upwards, this was relatively
stable compared to the previous year, and the value of the deliveries is nearly equal to the value of the order intake. The orders placed in 2019 totaled 16 yachts with a value of just over €1 billion and a total of 55,927 CGT.
The remit of the group is to champion The Netherlands globally as a superyacht industry leader in design, new build, refit and innovation with an emphasis on quality and an expert work force. The vessels that were ordered are larger and even more exclusive. In addition to the trend for an increase in size, there is also a growing interest in sustainability, such as the application of hybrid propulsion and innovations in design and material use. Marcel van de Spek continues, “Innovation and the drive to protect our environment is central to the group’s agenda. This is an obvious way the sector can secure its future and grow.” To emphasis this and under the leadership of The Water Revolution foundation, a number of initiatives have been started to assess the sustainability of yachts. The objective is to restore and protect the oceans, and to reduce the impact of human activities on the oceans. A final but very important task of the Holland Yachting Group is to invest time and energy in education. For The Netherlands to continue its leading position in the superyacht industry, a new generation of professionals and enthusiasts is a necessary part of the puzzle. As an organisation, Holland Yachting Group and its members are fully behind this initiative and are looking forward to a bright and successful future.

RECORD BREAKING FAMILY VALUES Mark Cavendish, Chief Commercial Officer at Heesen Yachts discusses the special values the company shares with the owners and wider Heesen family workforce
I
f the essence of yachting is spending time with the family, then Heesen is the Godfather. Family has always been at the heart of our shipyard. When an owner or captain joins the fold, they remain one of ours forever. They may go on to build with different shipyards or captain other yachts, but once a Heesen family member, always a Heesen family member. We stay true to this ethos from first meeting right through to delivery and beyond. What that actually means is that we listen to our clients, guide them on their journey and support them in after sales. And while our owner’s visions are bold and at times challenging, we never say no. They say the sky is the limit, but we continue to reach for the stars. From the moment our founding father Frans Heesen acquired the business in
1978 we’ve been delivering the unexpected. Innovation is the lifeblood of our shipyard, and our workforce are its vital organs. Work doesn’t finish when night falls in Oss in the Netherlands. Spotlights and welders illuminate the scene as steel and aluminium plates transform into cutting edge vessels. The beginning of a build is a magical time when a yacht designer’s imagination joins forces with the bravery of an owner. Luckily for us, we’ve worked with some of the bravest owners of them all. The launch of 44m Octopussy in 1988 - the fastest superyacht in the world topping out at 53.17 knots – brought world-wide acclaim to our sleepy corner of Holland. Octopussy is now widely recognised as ‘the superyacht that couldn’t be built’, and she stands as testament to our unrelenting commitment to keep pushing forward even when other yards hold back.
More than 30 years after Octopussy we’re still setting new records. SkyFall is the most powerful project that we have created to date, a 60-metre FDHF all-aluminium, full-custom motoryacht set for delivery in spring 2023. Her thunder will come from 22,000 horsepower. This extraordinary power will feed four water jets that will drive her at 37 knots in light load conditions – an impressive feat, particularly when considering her significant 900GT volume. And then there’s our largest yacht to date; 80m Cosmos, which is currently in build. When delivered in 2022 she will be the first boat in the world to draw strength and rigidity from our patented Backbone technology. Reminiscent of an I girder support beam used within property construction it has enabled us to exceed the parameters of building in malleable aluminium.
ONBOARD | AUTUMN 2020 | 121
122 | AUTUMN 2020 | ONBOARD
THE DUTCH QUALITY BADGE OF APPROVAL IS SOMETHING THAT HAS BEEN COLLECTIVELY EARNED BY THE NETHERLAND’S MANY MANUFACTURERS, BUT WE ASSUME PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY FOR SEEING IT THROUGH The Backbone perfectly exemplifies how we find the technology to realise our yachts, not the other way around. On top of that, Cosmos will be ferociously rapid for a yacht even half its size. To deliver on our promise of a near 30-knot top speed, four MTU engines will be fitted to drive two controllable pitch propellers, which are in-turn required to handle the 19,000hp. “Weight is the big enemy of speed, so to keep the weight down we had to build in aluminum which is much softer than steel,” says Mark Cavendish, Chief Commercial Officer at Heesen. “We needed to get strength and rigidity into the hull and stop it from flexing, so we developed the now patented Backbone technology that allows us to build a long hull and still keep it rigid.” It seems a formidable task to create new technology to suit our needs, and it certainly took many months of research and testing before we began to see results. But as the yard who pioneered aluminium construction it’s one of the many strings to our yachting bow. In 2013 we delivered Galactica Star, the world’s first Fast Displacement Hull Form (FDHF) yacht developed in partnership with Van Oossanen. The 42m Alive was the first yacht to harness kinetic energy in 2014 thanks to an underwater wing we coined the Hull Vane. In 2017 we moved closer to our sustainability goals by delivering 50m Home, the world’s first FDHF yacht equipped with hybrid propulsion. There are a number of different avenues that shipyards are exploring today to reduce the impact that yachts have on the ocean and environment and it goes a lot deeper than simply reducing a carbon footprint. We were the first shipyard to pioneer the aforementioned optimised hull form (FDHF) for fuel efficiency. Regulatory changes also help to drive the sustainability segment forward and we welcome that. For example, we will be the first shipyard to build an IMO Tier III-compliant fast-cruising yacht below 500GT when Aquamarine delivers in 2021. But sustainability requires an altogether
holistic approach, and this begins at our facilities in Oss.
ready to travel at a moment’s notice to any location in the world.
We continue to explore renewable and alternative energy sources, including harnessing solar power. Patented Sun Tracker technology has already been installed on the roof of our dry dock. But as a shipyard, we are considered a rarity because we build all of our yacht interiors entirely in-house. We have a dedicated workshop in Winterswijk that is home to over 130 artisans, all highly-skilled specialists in their field. From spectacular glass staircases to contemporary cabinetmaking and joinery, no customised detail is too big or too small. On a simple level, this makes our builds highly efficient. On a more detailed level, it means we can guarantee Dutch quality throughout.
Even during times of unknown, we pull together and work as one. We prioritise each and every individual, and when Covid-19 hit earlier this year we were quick to respond. We implemented governmental guidelines and introduced a rota system that meant our facilities could remain open in a safe and socially distanced format. We partnered with private aviation Vista Jet to create a safe travel bubble for our owners and captains so that when they needed to visit us in Oss, we were able to welcome them with all the necessary precautions in place.
The Dutch quality badge of approval is something that has been collectively earned by the Netherland’s many manufacturers, but we assume personal responsibility for seeing it through. It’s one of the reasons why we invest so heavily in the acquisition of young talent. It’s also why all of our hulls go through rigorous computational fluid dynamic testing before construction ever begins. Scale models of our yachts are put through their paces at the worldrenowned Wolfson Unit, which means by the time they’re given the thumbs up even the most demanding of experts is satisfied. The short-term result is that our yachts are safe, seaworthy, comfortable and innovative. Our new builds, both custom and semicustom, tick all the boxes when it comes to contemporary yachting. But the longterm result is that a Heesen yacht retains its value. Much like the automobile sector, the lifecycle of yachts varies wildly, but our owners rest assured in the knowledge that if the time comes to sell, the heritage, expert engineering and build quality of a Heesen will always appeal. It’s for this reason that most of our captains choose to source Heesen original spare parts and rely on our refit services rather than local shipyards. It’s made all the easier by our ‘flying squad’ of technicians who are
“Innovation, the attention to detail and a dedicated team of experts that love their job is key to the future of Heesen. As a team, we are 100% certain, this progress over the past 42 years will continue,” says Cavendish. There is no doubt that Heesen enjoys a challenge. Owners, designers and our internal engineers and craftsmen are constantly pushing the boundaries of design, technology and use of materials. However, we are continuous of our remit to help protect the environment and much of our internal research and development is focused on developing yachts that will have a lower impact on our oceans. Hybrid propulsion, the use of certain materials and on-going maintenance can all help to lower the emissions from our fleet and we are proud of the fact that we continue to attract partners and owners that share this vision. At the start of 2020, we had 13 yachts under construction at a total of 731 linear metres and at an impressive total gross tonnage of 10,114 GT. Even more impressively, we remain on schedule for all of our builds, despite Covid-19. It goes back to our family values. We look after our own. If we make a promise, we stick to it. And it’s for that reason that we stand by our mantra: No mission impossible. For more details visit heesenyachts.com

GOING BACK TO NATURE With a rich history in the innovative approach to yacht design, Vripack approach each design project with a renewed ingenuity to produce a dynamic vessel that responds to the owner’s needs and preferences
N
ew ideas are the life blood of any design studio. So too is facing fresh challenges head on and working together to find effective solutions. The bigger the problem, the longer the journey, but the focus remains the same; How can we improve on this? Creative, unconventional, holistic design has long been embedded in the Vripack DNA. But intrinsic to this is a studio-wide spotlight on sustainability. The need for a more environmentally conscious world has arrived. The moment has come to alter how we live. But it’s not about a moral sacrifice, or a political agenda, or a philanthropic cause. Sustainability has to be regarded as a design challenge. We don’t need to wait for yacht owners to request it. And we don’t need to wait for manufacturers to supply it. A sustainable approach to superyacht design is something that comes as standard with Vripack. Renewable energy, innovative propulsion, efficient naval architecture and fossil-free sailing – it’s there for the taking, ripe for development.
Vripack’s design philosophy is informed by a creative, holistic and collaborative approach that enables it to conceive yachts that offer their owners the most enriching experience possible on water, while allowing them to immerse themselves in this experience with the peace of mind that comes from knowing you enjoy unparalleled levels of safety, comfort and security. The studio is fortunate in that it tends to attract clients whose open-mindedness, ambition and sense of adventure supports the team’s desire to keep pushing the borders and raising the bar in its pursuit of excellence. As a result, it’s able to deliver yachts that not only reflect its clients’ specific needs and aspirations, but also set benchmarks in the market. And while it is guided each time by the same design philosophy,
WHAT FUTURA OFFERS OWNERS IS CHOICE. BY APPROACHING SUSTAINABILITY AS A
The one designer we all look to for inspiration is Mother Nature. And the most important lesson that evolution has taught us is that great design takes time.
DESIGN CHALLENGE, WE’RE NOT WAITING FOR
But the waiting period is over. A new wave is coming. Are you ready?
BASED ON SUSTAINABLE SOLUTIONS THAT
OWNERS TO REQUEST THIS TECHNOLOGY, WE’RE PRESENTING THEM WITH A CONCEPT CURRENTLY EXIST.
It’s second nature for the team members to consider all the elements in concert, so that the interaction becomes seamless. Vripack’s yachts appeal to the heart, mind and senses in equal measure, offering light-filled, elegant and comfortable spaces, and ensuring their owners, and guests and crew, feel at home at sea. A playful interaction of form and function, intuition and intelligence, balance and performance.

Co-creative director Marnix Hoekstra each yacht that emerges from the studio is unique, because each of its clients is unique. Before sketching a single line, the team spends as much time as is necessary familiarising itself with the client, asking questions, listening intently and
learning as much as it can about the client’s lifestyle and planned cruises. Everything the team does revolves around the client, for it is they that will be sailing out to sea on the team’s designs.

A HOLISTIC APPROACH Integrated teams create better designs with greater efficiency. When one observes Vripack’s team putting together one of the highly complex vessels it is known for, you realise quite quickly that the key factor in the studio’s success isn’t state-of-the-art 3D software, lean manufacturing principles, its proprietary code or virtual reality – though it employs all of these; rather, it’s its people, with all their passion and enthusiasm for the craft of yacht-building, and their comprehensive and shared understanding of the craft. And from the minute you arrive to the moment of your reluctant departure, you find yourself caught up in the team’s infectious energy, but also immersed in a world whose every detail suggests the shared understanding of a coherent and comprehensive vision.

Emigreen
I
n the age of global warming and climate change and ever more strict regulations, ‘becoming green’ is a lot easier than you might think. The easiest solution to reduce harmful emissions is to clean engines’ exhaust gasses by installing Emigreen bespoke exhaust gas after-treatment systems. Installing a Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) and / or a Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) system, helps you reduce >95% of the soot emissions and reduce NOx to below IMO Tier III levels, including certification. Subsequently noise is reduced up to
about 45 dB(A). Both for refit and new build projects, a system can be incorporated into the design at any stage. Emigreen’s systems are custom designed to fit into any engine room; as proven on board of several superyachts. The yacht’s engine room is hardly affected by the after treatment units, as each unit takes up hardly any more space than the engines silencers, meaning installation during refit is a simple exercise.
