    According to a press release by Freire and articles in local newspapers following the Navalia 2022 exhibition in Vigo, the first steel for this explorer yacht has been cut.

    Unfortunately no other details or renderings were published. The project has grown by 2 m in length since the sale was first announced last year.

    The delivery date is speculation on my part.

    We probably won't hear anything about this project for at least another year or two.

    Keel laying of a new superyacht at Freire Shipyard

    12 September, 2022
    On Monday August 22nd, Freire Shipyard laid the keel for a new +100m Expedition Motor Yacht. Behind this keel laying, there is a large amount of design and engineering work done in conjunction with the owner’s team. “We are proud of the extremely efficient hull which went through extensive design and tank testing program to make it one the most fuel efficient and stable hull designs” explains the owner’s representative.

    This project represents to Freire Shipyard, its second reference in +100m Superyacht projects and strengthens its position in this most demanding segment of the industry. The new building contract became effective in 2021 and the cutting of the first plates of steel started in May 2022. The completion of the hull and superstructure is scheduled to August 2023.

    Still a long way to go before project Incognita can be launched.
