Construction update: oceAnco’s 85m Y704

A few weeks ago we visited Shipyard Zwijnenburg where the hull of oceAnco’s Y704 was being build. Zwijnenburg is a commercial shipyard just a few minutes away from the finishing sheds of oceAnco.

Zwijnenburg is one of the “co-makers” of oceAnco yachts. During our visit to oceAnco they explained that instead of working with subcontractors (who also work at other shipyards) they prefer to work with co-makers (who exclusively work for them). For Zwijnenburg this means they will only build hulls of yachts for oceAnco, but they will also continue their commercial shipbuilding. For the engineering of their huge projects oceAnco teamed up with Azure naval architects.

The Y704 is an 85m motor yacht with interior and exterior design by Nuvolari & Lenard. After her hull and superstructure are finished she will be transported to oceAnco where she will be finished. Delivery is scheduled in the Spring of 2009.
