Organisers of the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4556" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Cannes Yachting Festival (Company)">Cannes Yachting Festival</a> have announced a change to the show layout for September 2024. The alterations are planned for next year’s event due to ongoing modernisation works at the Vieux Port.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/286638/image/large-441f32ca5be45acb28a06da9315b5475.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/286638">The <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4556" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Cannes Yachting Festival (Company)">Cannes Yachting Festival</a> is spread across two ports, both of which are a short walking distance from each other. The Vieux Port is one of the oldest harbours on the French Riviera and during this year’s event, was home to 540 yachts, while Port Canto welcomed 115 sailing yachts from 10 to 30-metres.The <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4556" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Cannes Yachting Festival (Company)">Cannes Yachting Festival</a> is managed by RX France, and the technical teams and Show Director Sylvie Ernoult have been working together with the City of Cannes and MVPC, since the first quarter to design a new, optimum layout that is suitable for the show while the work is being carried out.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/286276/image/large-1a1de47b5af69bc4f3f13bf690b09332.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/286276">The city of Cannes plans to renovate and modernise the Vieux Port resulting in new areas being created. The concession was awarded for the Vieux Port to the Marina Vieux Port de Cannes (MVPC) consortium in 2022 for a period of 30 years, with renovation starting in 2024 and due to finish at the end of 2026.The Vieux Port modernisation project will impact the southern part of the Jetée Albert Edouard on the north/west side of the port entrance, the careening area, and the Max Laubeuf car park, located opposite, to the south/west of the port entrance.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/286280/image/large-4cc2015dfc45c1f0956f7bad95e99dff.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/286280">“It is clear that the work to modernise the Vieux Port means that we will have to modify some of our installations and how we accommodate our exhibitors and visitors during the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Event/210" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Cannes Yachting Festival - 2024">Cannes Yachting Festival 2024</a>,” explained Filippo Rean, Managing Director of RX France.“Working constructively with the city and MVPC teams, our teams are already able to anticipate the main impacts on the different areas we occupy and find alternatives in the best possible conditions for the 2024 edition and those that follow.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/286278/image/large-a8410f91f3d060d11e42658860c2778c.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/286278">In order to replace the areas that can not be used during the work, two new large areas will be created in Port Canto: the Mega Yachts area, for large boats up to 55-metres and the Small Boats Area, for small boats from 8-metres.Over the three years Vieux Port will evolve to accommodate the work taking place. In 2024, Quai Max Laubeuf will be home to a selection of 10-20-metre boats and around 20 power catamarans , while the Jetée will accommodate large yachts from 22-metres.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/286285/image/large-3dc81d9eff9e57ef9df8b8eaccbc6142.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/286285">The Super Yachts Extension will remain with its large boats and visitors will be able to access this via a new visitor pathway along the jetty’s work site. The other areas in the Vieux Port will remain the same as in previous years.“We have been working hard for several months now to arrange the best installation possible for 2024, taking into account the various technical and safety constraints. The 2024 show configuration will therefore see the Vieux Port’s reception areas that can't be used anymore transferred to Port Canto, and will enable all exhibitors and boats present this year to be accommodated,” added Sylvie Ernoult, Director of the Cannes Yachting Festival.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/286644/image/large-6f02ab407a54bf38bc7d4e069cc95ed2.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/286644">The sea shuttle services will continue to run between the two ports, with several departure and arrival points on each side of the Croisette to make going from one port to the other very smooth and visiting the show easier.“We are aware that these changes to the layout may impact how the presence of some of them at the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Event/210" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Cannes Yachting Festival - 2024">Cannes Yachting Festival</a> is organised, but we are confident in our ability to reinvent the show together and support boat builders in accommodating them. The successful transfer of the Sailing Area to Port Canto in 2019 proves that it is possible to move entire sectors between the two ports without affecting the show's quality,” concluded Filippo Rean.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/286286/image/large-cea954c0f6da5b2c71ccf1ecc9b544fb.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/286286">

The model presents a large aft cockpit, thoughtfully divided into three distinct zones offering versatility. Boasting two spacious decks, she maintains the tradition of the Fast line, but elevates a sporty aspect. Moreover the model features a generous 86 square-metres of outdoor space extending from the bow to the stern, inviting guests to bask in the sun and relish the sea breeze. The X90 Fast is currently under construction and will be presented at the next 2024 boat shows. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/285771/image/large-c828b1944b4bd2ed5d82c432502f5cfe.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/285771"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/285770/image/large-abf695aa4441e8d609b7e9126568fb4c.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/285770">The 29.5-metre <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5574" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Extra Yachts (Company)">Extra</a> 98 RPH model marks a significant evolution from the three-deck model of the Triplex Range.

A large, central guest cockpit will be the focal point of the deck layout and all the deck houses will be clad in wood.&nbsp;“Computational fluid dynamic (CFD) testing and velocity prediction programmes (VPP) have been developed in-house and used extensively to optimise her hull shape and appendages,” explained Andre Hoek.&nbsp;“The yacht’s fixed keel features a trim tab on the fin to reduce leeway and improve balance with the ketch rig, and she is designed with a single rudder with mechanical steering, which provides the helmsman with the ‘feel’ required to help sail the boat to her optimum performance.”The new yacht will be equipped with a <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2447" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Southern Spars (Company)">Southern Spars</a> rig package, providing her with an extensive collection of sails. She will also be powered by a low emissions diesel electric propulsion and charging system.&nbsp;A permanent magnet electric motor will provide charging for the battery bank and propulsion when leaving a harbour or anchorage, enabling the yacht to be run for a considerable ‘silent’ period, with all systems working off her battery bank.The yacht’s aluminium hull and deck will be fabricated in-house at their Zwartsluis premises, with the keel due to be laid in April 2024. “This is the eighth project we have worked on together with the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/33" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Hoek Design Naval Architects B.V.

Gulf Superyacht Summit 2022: Final speakers announced for next week's summit

Peter Lürssen, CEO and Managing Partner of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/23" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Lürssen Yachts (Company)">Lürssen</a>, took the stage during the <a href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Gulf Superyacht Summit - 2022">2022 Gulf Superyacht Summit</a>, with Merijn de Waard, founder and director of SuperYacht Times, to deliver the keynote interview of the event.Following the theme of the <a href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Gulf Superyacht Summit - 2022">Summit</a>, the conversation began with a discussion on the Gulf as a growing superyacht destination, more particularly, a winter superyacht destination. Peter Lürssen then went into great detail about the current and future operations at <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/23" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Lürssen Yachts (Company)">Lürssen</a>, with a strong focus on how the shipyard is championing sustainability.&nbsp;<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/248709/image/large-b5e1cb0591a9f3c6f9a5fc54820f8af7.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/248709">Peter, you’ve been coming to this region for a long time now. What is your first memory of the Gulf?&nbsp;I’ve been coming to the region for around four decades now, and during those early days, we were building navy ships for Abu Dhabi. It was a great experience. One of my first jobs with <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/23" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Lürssen Yachts (Company)">Lürssen</a>, around 1988/1998 was working with our team building defence ships for the UAE.How important is the Gulf region for&nbsp;<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/23" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Lürssen Yachts (Company)">Lürssen</a>?It has shifted; we still do some defence work, but the UAE has been especially good for us as clients. As you know, we’ve built some very prominent yachts, such as <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/4638" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Azzam180.61m (592'7&quot;)Lürssen Yachts2013">Azzam</a>, and we have more under construction. It's a very important region because it has a good demand for large, fast yachts.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/176515/image/large-60f250126e5cc7d9346eb23a4aff8ef9.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/176515">How in your view, can the Gulf attract more superyachts? And have you seen a change already occurred in the last 5-10 years?It has definitely changed over the years, and this current boom is the result of a number of reasons. But, critically, this region is attractive because it offers a lot of interesting destinations, not only the UAE but Oman, Saudi Arabia and the whole coastline of the Red Sea are beautiful cruising grounds. At the same time, places like the UAE offer a lot of attractions on shore.&nbsp;The whole region offers a fantastic package: beautiful waters, great diving, stunning museums and outstanding restaurants. It’s got theme parks and anything you could want – and this is what will attract, and has attracted yachts to come here.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/222566/image/large-fdb715b7de31010691203ba8a7c07df1.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/222566">A number of shipbuilders have announced plans to build facilities in the region, is this something that&nbsp;<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/23" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Lürssen Yachts (Company)">Lürssen</a>&nbsp;is considering? Or will Germany remain the main focus?&nbsp;The type of yachts that we build requires a lot of infrastructures. For the more traditional yacht builders, it doesn’t matter so much where they build from. For <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/23" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Lürssen Yachts (Company)">Lürssen</a>, however, we are reliant on a huge number of subcontractors – and we would then have to bring not only the shipyard but also our large network of suppliers. &nbsp;And that is always something that has put an early stop to the ideas of moving up production to the other parts of Germany. With regards to maintenance, it's something that we always look at. But it would only make sense for us as part of a wider network.Has&nbsp;<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/23" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Lürssen Yachts (Company)">Lürssen</a>&nbsp;seen an increased interest in fuel cell technology since it announced its first project last year?&nbsp;There has been a growing interest – but the biggest problem is knowing exactly how reliable these systems are. A lot of the projects and pilot projects I’ve worked on have seen great interest, but there has also been hesitation. I have had a lot of conversations with clients who want to go that way, after they’ve seen the first yacht with the new system in the water.&nbsp;The real jump in interest will come once people have seen the first yacht with a sustainable system with practical use. We have this fantastic owner who listened to the presentation and is very interested in technology. He proposed that if we can meet the conditions, he’ll share the costs. For a shipyard, this is great, as you have the first installation with an owner partially paying the costs. But like I said, once we see yachts in the water performing, that’s when we’ll see a jumpstart for a lot of this development.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/248711/image/large-a175fb4f2e8a157807771b1a32fb7180.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/248711">And what about fuel technologies, is there one currently ahead of the race?&nbsp;Nobody knows which direction the technology will move; we talk about hydrogen and methanol. But the EU talks about ammonia, which has other problems, and then there’s nuclear, which we can’t exclude at this point in time. It looks as though for the midterm future, methanol will make the race to practical use. A good indicator is the commercial shipping industry; Maersk has just ordered 19 very large container ships based on methanol combustion engines. And it signed a deal in the regions of €10 billion with Spain to produce methodology. Maersk has also signed a similar deal with Egypt.&nbsp;A combination of a methanol combustion engine and the methanol fuel cell caters for different profiles. If you're able to get green methanol, it's the most likely route if we’re to achieve zero emissions by the end of the decade.&nbsp;When can we expect to see a zero carbon emission superyacht?My estimate is by the end of the decade, but things always take longer than we think. We have a delivery for a methanol-powered superyacht at the end of 2024, beginning of 2025. If a client then says they want to go zero emissions based on this technology, then we’re nearly at the end of the decade, purely by delivery. A realistic goal, then, is the end of decade, which is when we should see a sizeable yacht with zero emissions. &nbsp;<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/248707/image/large-27714d7e2826a9c0a57f0c166a7c84e0.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/248707">Would you say it’ll be easier on bigger boats because you have more space? &nbsp;As was highlighted earlier on at the Summit, yachts never have enough space and a methanol propulsion system takes up more space than a traditional system. For bigger yachts, the cost factor to get zero emissions, or very reduced emissions, is possibly, in relative terms less painful. The question of space is a valid one; I think for very small yachts the compromises a client would have to accept are relatively larger than those for a larger yacht.Do you find that clients and their families are getting more involved in green solutions for their yachts?&nbsp;Green solutions are demanded from a number of parties: firstly, there are the EU regulations and the bank. If you read the ESG questionnaire from the bank, you think about closing on the shipyard because it's not made for shipyards, it's meant for other businesses.&nbsp;Then you have the clients that understand that it's not only the yacht, but also the process to build a yacht. This includes their children and grandchildren who, to speak frankly, can ask some quite nasty questions. Over the past few years, the awareness of climate change and the need for a subsequent change of belief – this has spurred my children and grandchildren, as well as those from our employees and clients to ask questions. This is a permanent topic that we need to live with; and we accept the challenge. &nbsp;<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/248708/image/large-8741f33737758f08eff837d1f51fb421.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/248708">In terms of the market, has this past year been good for&nbsp;<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/23" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Lürssen Yachts (Company)">Lürssen</a>? And can you say something about the strength of your order book?&nbsp;We have a very good order book and we’re planning to deliver, if all things go well for 2023, a 140-metre superyacht and a 90-metre superyacht. It’s been an exciting year for us, and we’ve been able to more or less refill our deliveries.&nbsp;Is the supply chain still a big challenge or is it already getting better?&nbsp;The supply chains are getting a bit better, but a lot of the equipment out of China is still very much delayed – and it’s getting complicated. But it is not as bad as it used to be at the peak of the pandemic.Another issue we hear a lot is inflation, is that something&nbsp;<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/23" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Lürssen Yachts (Company)">Lürssen</a>&nbsp;has had problems with?Last month, I think Germany was running at around 10 percent. What helps us to offset that is the dollar has strengthened by 10 to 15 percent, which makes up a lot of the inflationary pressure. But we've seen extraordinary price increases not only in the raw materials, which are coming down now, like steel, but especially in components, systems, and such where we see more than the standard inflation as price increases.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/248710/image/large-f92f2d0fabf9085f58f64f4c9d3e35bd.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/248710">Would you say that the market is becoming more normal compared to the crazy times of last year?Interestingly enough, in the year with midterm elections, the boat show in Fort Lauderdale is always quiet. But besides the midterms, I think everybody is expecting a recession. The question is, how long will the recession last? One, two or three years, your guess is as good as mine.&nbsp;We will see a slowdown in inquiries, and we've seen it ourselves. We have some very qualified clients that are still optimistic they still want to move on. But the easy buy of a yacht is getting more complicated, part of this is a result of increasing interest rates. Our clients have the possibility to refinance their yachts at very, very good rates. We are seeing the results in the real estate market already, and I think we will see results in the yacht market soon as well.Do you think a slowdown could be good so that there’s not so much pressure on the suppliers?&nbsp;The industry as a whole has not really reset after the pandemic to a normal working mode, in its totality. So maybe a slowdown will help the shipyards, the suppliers and everyone get back into a more normalised rhythm and capacity.&nbsp;<iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/h3-fbCH0Jx8?&amp;wmode=opaque" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="" class="fr-draggable"></iframe>
