Damen’s brand new 69 metre SeaAxe support yacht named Intrepid, the shipyard’s largest addition to its Yacht Support range, has arrived in the Italian port of Trieste this week along with her mothership Infinity. The two Dutch built vessels were until recently still in the Netherlands – Infinity, who returned to the Oceanco shipyard where she was launched in 2014 for a short maintenance period, and Intrepid which was seen at Damen's facility in Vlissingen from where she conducted sea trials following her launch earlier this year. Hull number two of Damen’s 69 metre range is currently in build, and expected to be delivered in 2017.

Intrepid is an evolution of Damen's 67 metre support yacht range, of which two hulls have been built; Garçon, and 6711. In addition to a longer overall length, a feature that sets her apart from the two smaller sister ships is the innovative heli-deck on the very aft section of Intrepid, capable of receiving a Eurocopter AS365 or Agusta Westland AW109. The platform opens to reveal a hangar into which the helicopter disappears below deck.

Her narrow beam of 11.50 metres along with four MTU 16V4000 M63L 1A engines allow for a top speed up to 20 knots, with an impressive range of 4,500 nm in nearly any sea state whilst maintaining 16 knots. On board she offers accommodation for up to 21 crew and staff members. 250 square metres of deck space is available outside for cargo storage and another 110 square metres of concealed space inside.

The 88.50 metre Infinity was built by Oceanco to a design by Espen Oeino with naval architecture by Azure Naval Architects in cooperation with the in-house team at Oceanco. Her interior is the work of Sinot Exclusive Yacht Design who worked together with David Kleinberg Design Associates, which accommodates her owners in a large master suite and the 10 remaining guests across 6 luxurious guest staterooms.

The project originated as a concept in 2019 through a collaboration between <a href="https://www.superyachttimes.com/companies/vripack" target="_blank">Vripack</a>, responsible for the yacht's exterior and interior design, while <a href="https://www.superyachttimes.com/companies/dykstra" target="_blank">Dykstra Naval Architects</a>, developed the hull form, sail plan and thruster system.“For years, <a target="_blank">Zero</a> has existed as a vision, a series of calculations, design studies, and engineering hypotheses,” commented <a href="https://www.superyachttimes.com/companies/dykstra" target="_blank">Dykstra Naval Architects</a> Partner Mark Leslie-Miller. “Seeing her afloat transforms all of that into a living experiment.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/399682/image/large-550960652add0596157b41c21cd73c5c.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/399682">Construction on <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/12410" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Project Zero68.85m (225'11&quot;)Vitters Shipyard2026">Zero</a> began in 2023 following an extensive research and development phase exceeding 60,000 hours. The construction process commenced at Jacht- en Scheepswerf Gouwerok, where her aluminium hull was fabricated before being transferred by barge to <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/34" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Vitters Shipyard (Company)">Vitters Shipyard</a> in Zwartsluis for outfitting.

Her elegant profile draws inspiration from the golden age of sailing while incorporating contemporary design details. Zero's classical sailing exterior profile is elevated by her sustainable design, integrating new technologies with an “energy-first perspective” that prioritises innovation rather than optimisation.&nbsp;These include ‘breathing’ masts, a 250-kilowatt hydrogeneration system, hybrid photovoltaic-thermal panels, an advanced microgrid and bespoke control software.

Electricity is produced while under sail through hydro-generating thrusters, while a 100-square-metre solar array captures both heat and light with 60 per cent efficiency. A wind turbine further contributes to the yacht’s energy production by harnessing offshore airflow. The generated power is stored in an industrial-grade battery system with a capacity of 5,000 kilowatt-hours, supplying energy to all onboard systems.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/399681/image/large-b4de7511b75a1d3a1c831362bcb98aca.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/399681">To encourage wider adoption of the technology, the shipyard has made the project's data and systems publicly available through the open-source platform Foundationº.

69m fossil-free Vitters sailing superyacht Project Zero launched

69m fossil-free Vitters sailing yacht Zero launched

French lawmakers from the left-wing political party La France Insoumise (LFI) have introduced a private member's bill that would prohibit privately operated yachts measuring 50 metres or more from accessing French seaports, using berths or remaining in the country's territorial waters.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/397767/image/large-9063ab1c035f6a255de903aeb73293ff.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/397767">Submitted to the French National Assembly on 23 June by deputy Thomas Portes and fellow LFI members, the proposal has been referred to committee for consideration, but has not been adopted and remains at an early stage of the legislative process.If enacted, the legislation would prohibit recreational yachts of 50 metres and above from entering French ports or remaining in French territorial waters, with exemptions for circumstances including maritime distress, severe weather, medical emergencies or serious damage to the vessel.The proposed legislation would introduce significant penalties for breaches, with courts able to impose fines ranging from one to 15 percent of a yacht's estimated value. The bill would also allow for the possible seizure of a vessel and bans of between five and 10 years, preventing other yachts controlled by the same owner from accessing French waters.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/397756/image/large-4e35e83dc2fe6f281574a3d400aec042.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/397756">In addition, authorities could request details including a yacht's flag state, registered owner, operator and ultimate beneficial owner, alongside documentation relating to crew employment and social security arrangements. Failure to provide accurate information could result in additional financial penalties.According to the explanatory memorandum accompanying the bill, the proposal is intended to reduce the disproportionate environmental impact of the world's largest recreational yachts. The lawmakers argue that these vessels generate high emissions while benefitting from publicly funded port infrastructure, with the 50-metre threshold chosen to target only the largest yachts.The proposal also acknowledges that affected yachts may relocate to neighbouring destinations, including Monaco, Italy or Spain.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/397788/image/large-0b49016c57b77bbed9a568af58390fdd.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/397788">However, the bill highlights the significant economic contribution made by the yachting sector to southern France. Figures cited by the lawmakers estimate that the industry generates approximately €1.1 billion annually for the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region and supports around 10,200 jobs across refit, maintenance, equipment, technical services and tourism.
