The development will include thousands of new seafront apartments, office spaces, retail areas and a hotel.&nbsp;A key feature of the revitalised district is the new superyacht marina, which aims to position Fredrikstad as a prime destination for visiting superyachts and expedition cruise ships navigating Scandinavian waters.Phase one of the marina officially opened in spring 2025 and currently offers berths for yachts up to 50 metres in length. The facility is ISPS compliant and provides a full range of amenities for yacht owners, guests and crew.&nbsp;Future development phases will expand the marina’s capacity to accommodate superyachts up to 100 metres in length.Situated in a region rich with maritime history and natural beauty, Fredrikstad provides a unique setting for yacht visitors. The city is renowned for its well-preserved fortress town and offers access to the Hvaler archipelago and national park, which are best explored by boat. Fredrikstad also enjoys a relatively mild southern climate and boasts a lively cultural scene and nightlife.

Described by <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2049" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Ghost Yachts (Company)">Ghost Yachts</a> founder Björn Moonen as “a seamless blend of the G180X’s lean, mean and clean ethos with cutting-edge technology”, the new model offers bespoke customisation options for owners.The G212 features a low-profile exterior defined by clean lines and balanced proportions. Composed with an aluminium hull and superstructure, her design is complemented by large hull windows running nearly the entire length of the vessel, flooding the lower deck staterooms with natural light.The G212 is designed to accommodate 12 guests and 12 crew, with five VIP guest staterooms positioned aft on the lower deck and a full-beam owner’s suite located forward of amidships. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/363384/image/large-84665c26741d7854341329ee95c1298f.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/363384">Crew circulation has been reconfigured entirely, with operational efficiency and guest privacy in mind. The vessel is designed to comply with the Red Ensign Group Yacht Code and includes a one-man-bridge configuration.Her main deck saloon features full-height glazing and connects directly to a spacious aft deck. Below this, a beach club and wellness area are situated at water level, while a more intimate saloon and dining area is located on the accommodation deck, flanked by fold-out balconies for indoor-outdoor entertaining.The bridge deck offers a secluded setting for private dining and lounging, while the forward sunken foredeck includes a motorised canopy, a feature first introduced on Ghost Yachts’ earlier G250 project. As well as this, a 6.3-metre Castoldi Jet tender is cleverly housed beneath the foredeck, accessed via a concealed knuckle crane.According to McDiarmid, the project is the result of a collaborative design process, integrating feedback from brokers and responding to evolving market demands. “Design excellence starts with the owner-adaptable general arrangement, advanced naval architecture and a fully styled package from stem to stern,” he said.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/363387/image/large-6e8552043c8d9b7ff6808571a2bed64f.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/363387">The G212 is built on a completely new platform featuring an updated Fast Displacement Hull Form (FDHF) by <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/460" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Van Oossanen Naval Architects (Company)">Van Oossanen Naval Architects</a>.
