Silver Zwei in front of Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club
Silver Zwei is the greenest (fuel consumption at 400 litres / hour) superyacht over 70 metres in length. Built at hanseatic Marine in Australia, she is renowned as the fastest and most fuel efficient conventionally powered vessel in terms of length to speed ratio. She is designed by Monaco based designer Espen Oeino, and she features a beautiful modern interior. Silver Zwei has just finished an extensive tour of the Persian Gulf where she visited Oman, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Qatar, Bahrain and Kuwait. The yacht is now cruising South East Asia, and after visiting Singapore, she is now currently in Hong Kong.
