35m CdM Deep Blue 115 explorer yacht Octopus delivered

Cantiere delle Marche (CdM) has delivered the 35-metre Deep Blue 115 explorer yacht Octopus to her owners following her launch earlier this year.


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.
