Her Project Name is GRACEFUL and is to cost more than € 100 millions, finished in 1 or upto 2 years. The main task of Yard is interior. Maybe another Contract is under Way. She is already total closed in DK 6. My Director goes there next weeks to see if we gain a Contract as well.

... Ein ganz anderes Schiff ist unterdessen ebenfalls in Hamburg eingetroffen, zumindest ein Teil davon: Von Bremerhaven aus wurde der nackte, gut 822 Tonnen schwere Rumpf einer neuen Luxusyacht zur Hamburger Traditionswerft Blohm + Voss geschleppt. Dort soll die mehr als 80 Meter lange Yacht "Graceful" ausgebaut werden, teilte Blohm + Voss mit. Nach der Übernahme des zivilen Schiffbaus des Unternehmens durch den Investor Star Capital Partners Ende Januar 2012 sei damit der erste Yachtauftrag in dieser Konstellation erfolgt. Der Bau von Luxusyachten ab 80 Metern Länge soll auch weiter Kerngeschäft der Hamburger Werft bleiben, die in der Vergangenheit schon die größten Megayachten der Welt abgeliefert hatte. Wer Auftraggeber des Schiffs ist, sei vertraulich, hieß es. Branchenberichten zufolge handelt es sich um einen Russen. Mehr als 80 Millionen Euro dürfte ein solches Sportbootprojekt der XXL-Klasse kosten. In diesem Fall möglicherweise sogar noch mehr. Ursprünglich sollte der Rumpf von einer russischen Werft an Blohm + Voss geliefert werden, heißt es in Branchenkreisen. Doch beim Transport mithilfe eines Schleppers über die Nordsee lief die Konstruktion vor Norwegen auf einen Felsen und musste als Wrack aufgegeben werden. (Diese war trotzdem am BV weiter gebracht und als Versicherungsgründe es sich nicht gelohnt wieder zu reparieren). Beim jetzt zweiten Versuch wurde der Rumpf (Design ist jetzt anders) bei der Stahlbau Nord in Bremerhaven zusammengeschweißt - von dort war der Weg deutlich kürzer und sicherer nicht im Winter.

Translation for those of us who are not fluent in german:

... A completely different ship, meanwhile, also arrived in Hamburg, of which at least a part: from Bremerhaven was the naked, dragged well 822-ton hull of a new luxury yacht for the Hamburg-based Blohm + Voss. There is more than 80 meters long yacht "graceful" to be expanded, shared with Blohm + Voss. After the takeover of the civilian shipbuilding company by the investor Star Capital Partners in late January 2012 will be the first yacht job done in this situation. The construction of luxury yachts from 80 meters in length will also continue to remain the core business of the Hamburg shipyard, which in the past had been the largest megayachts in the world delivered. Who is the client of the ship is kept confidential, it said. Industry reports that it is a Russian. More than 80 million euros would cost such a pleasure craft project for the class-XXL. In this case, maybe even more. Originally, the hull will be delivered by a Russian shipyard of Blohm + Voss, according to industry sources. But when transporting a tractor through the North Sea off Norway, the construction went on a rock and had to be abandoned as a wreck. (This was still further brought to the BV and insurance reasons as it is not worthwhile to fix it). In the second experiment, the body now (design is different now) in Bremerhaven in northern steel welded together - from there the path was much shorter and not safe in the winter.
