    Does somebody have got information about project "Quantum Blue" currently under construction at Lürssen Lemwerder? Is she the 90m project more widely known as "Rio" with delivery scheduled for 2016?!

    (Lemwerder is their main facilities not to be mistaken with Aumund, where the really big ones are being built)

    Milow, is either Rio or Tropic. On Tropic is being a while since we last heard something, or I missed it, or something changed.

    Mhm it is defintely not "Tropic" as she is 135m and their max. capacity at Lürssen Lemwerder is 110m. So "Ocean Blue" is perhaps indeed "Rio"..

    BTW Lürssen Aumund has got a full order book till 2018! There is currently a 125m project under construction, I will not disclose more details as yet.

    "Rio" is listed as 'confidential' little info! Just know that it is around 91-meter and for 2016.

    Tatiana is a 123 meters Luerssen yacht to be delivered in 2015. Interior design by Alberto Pinto.

    Interesting. A Martin Francis exterior perhaps.

    Quantum Blue? how the heck does Lurssen hide these things and you have no idea?

    As Peter Lürssen said in an interview "It is pretty simple. You keep it locked up!" ;)

    Yes but cann't lock up the hundreds of people involved in building it, at Luerssen and (more risky) at subcontractors. But it speaks volumes about the reliability of Luerssen that they manage to keep everybody under control for years. As Millow says, otherwise they wouldn't be in that business.

    Just in time before project "Global" (the succesor) launches in early 2014, ***** Yacht & Ship announced the sale of 223ft "Kismet" a few minutes ago! Wow finally is all I can say!

    Her asking price was 79,000,000 euros when I recall correctly...

    KISMET - 223 Ft. (68m) Lurssen - SOLD!

    I am of the understanding that the launch of the 66m project is apparently scheduled for this year, 2014. I am definitely looking forward to it!

    ***** Yacht & Ship announced a new 74m project "Thor" in collaboration with Lürssen Yachts! The influence of two older Lürssen yachts is pretty obvious! Although she is designed by Andrew Winch.
    Press release coming up soon here on YF.

    Today's activity at the weser river

    Visited my children in Bremen today. Could not resist to pass one or the other yard at the Weser River for some pictures :D.

    After being moored for a few days at Lürssen Lemwerder, Azzam is back at Lürssen Aumund. Looks completed and ready to go with no activity or signs of work in progress. But the exhaust stacks of all four propulsion engines are closed with weather covers. This is not an indication of a departure in the near future.

    Phoenix 2 is moored at Lürssen Lemwerder. Looks like some refit and cosmetics going on.

    If you fancy half a ship. Lürssen has one for you. Those forward and rear half military vessels are build at different yards in Germany and towed to Lürssen for completion. This is common practise but still looks funny.
