Nina Jensen, the project manager behind the multi-million dollar research project <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5306" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="REV Ocean (Company)">Rev Ocean</a>, has gone public with some of the issues behind the delay to the vessel that bears the project's name, and which was due to be launched next year. With the first research voyage planned to have taken place in 2021, it is now suggested that it could be a further five years before the yacht, which is the largest superyacht in the world at 183-metres, belonging to Kjell Inge Røkke, will touch the water.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/7758/image/large-f2fb0cc771df14dbf31e7aee3fa8c11f.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/7758">Jensen has cited technical problems with the construction, which is being undertaken by the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4590" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="VARD Group AS (Company)">Vard Group</a>, including issues relating to the weight of the yacht, as cause of the delay. She is quoted in the Scandinavian publication Dagens Næringsliv as saying, “I think without a doubt that both he, I and the rest of the team are extremely frustrated, irritated, depressed – actually the whole emotional register – because we are impatient to get out to sea.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/100009/image/large-e1ac1baaefe2ce4dbdd1a970fc2216fb.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/100009">The superyacht Rev Ocean, delayed, is an integral part of Røkke’s <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5306" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="REV Ocean (Company)">Rev Ocean</a> Project, and all parties are eager to get to sea to begin the planned research work. In a recent public statement, the Rev Ocean team solidified their intention to complete the vessel and embark on their research work which aims to aid ocean health across the world.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/99981/image/large-67f106d62077c99db334be6c7ba68519.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/99981">Another Scandinavian publication, the Borsen Dagbladet, reported that though the project is delayed, there is no indication that it is to be abandoned.

The design showcases a bold, flexible living space that reflects the yard’s performance-driven philosophy.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/399040/image/large-dc3a6cc5c34a7a83361424681e775474.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/399040">Performance-driven design and optimisationThe first hull of the Baltic 80 Café Racer features naval architecture by Javier Jaudenes of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2857" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Surge Projects (Company)">Surge Projects</a>. Externally, the yacht retains the series’ signature performance-led identity, developed through extensive CFD analysis and <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/758" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="North Sails (Company)">North Sails</a>’ virtual wind tunnel technology. This results in a lightweight carbon-fibre hull designed for competitive performance in coastal and maxi-class racing environments.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/399047/image/large-ca68ba19522824b1334cd742884e86c6.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/399047">A total of twenty-one hull configurations were evaluated using an advanced dynamic VPP model, enabling designers to refine sail trim and assess full-motion behaviour under varying conditions. The final design combines powerful hull lines with low resistance in light air, while maintaining form stability and control as conditions build. Performance optimisation is further enhanced by a generous J dimension, allowing a larger genoa for improved acceleration and strong reaching performance alongside a dedicated jib-top configuration.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/399048/image/large-cacd9ba2729d515c3f047ddc9cc48f68.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/399048">In addition, two rig setups are available, offering a wide spectrum of sailing styles: from relaxed, family-oriented downwind cruising to fully crewed, rail-down racing. According to the yard, the yacht is expected to compete at the upper end of Maxi Class 3, with a projected IRC rating of 1.480.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/399046/image/large-e5d8157d48c3c132df83c7143a2f7c96.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/399046">Flexible loft-style interior designThe first hull of the series introduces a striking loft-style arrangement, where the galley, dining area and saloon flow into a single open space. The design prioritises light, volume and sociability, creating an onboard atmosphere more reminiscent of a contemporary apartment than a traditional yacht interior.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/399049/image/large-0b668346ea7c430d52595626418f680e.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/399049">Rather than committing to a fixed layout, the concept has been intentionally designed to offer flexibility. Owners can opt for a semi-enclosed or fully enclosed galley configuration, while the main saloon can be tailored with either individual lounge armchairs or a more relaxed extended sofa arrangement. This modular approach allows each yacht to reflect its owner’s sailing and lifestyle preferences.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/399050/image/large-0585f9e8a143267419686e85d47f0d77.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/399050">Interior designer Mark Tucker from <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/329" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Design Unlimited (Company)">Design Unlimited</a> noted that the concept “invites the next owner to take it somewhere completely their own.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/399043/image/large-4653d58efe52f51e550d0b90946700f4.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/399043"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/399044/image/large-18b83df8c0f5b2224850118d7fb488d0.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/399044">Drawing on experience from <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/10936" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Raven34.0m (111'7&quot;)Baltic Yachts2023">Raven</a>, the record-breaking foil-assisted 111-footer delivered in 2023, construction of the first hull is progressing using a carbon fibre female mould.

Rather than purely focusing on reducing energy consumption, the yacht is reported to be the first of her class to be designed around energy generation. This radical approach allows the yacht to run for up to two weeks on purely renewable sources, without relying on fossil fuels.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/396253/image/large-7447c42b77f8a8f7bc690af39433370f.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/396253"><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">Project Zero</a> has been designed to honour the owners' appreciation for traditional sailing yachts while introducing a host of bespoke design solutions. Outside, custom elements can be found throughout, from the spoon bow and matte-finished deck hardware to the sculpted stern cap and hand-painted transom finished in a wood-effect treatment. Her notable metallic blue hull is further distinguished by a feather-inspired boot stripe, a reference to the black-browed albatross that served as a major inspiration for her design.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/396256/image/large-a8857968400b95119871dc187c9832f9.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/396256">Looking inside, <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">Project Zero</a> embraces a holistic interior concept centred on natural materials, craftsmanship and owner-focused living. <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/15" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Vripack (Company)">Vripack</a>’s interior rejects highly polished finishes in favour of tactile textures and organic materials to embody nature. Smoked European oak, reclaimed bark-based materials, leathered stone and hand-selected veneers are featured prominently throughout. Natural knots, cracks and grain variations have been deliberately preserved rather than concealed.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/396255/image/large-213cb67058fc8448969608065d402377.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/396255">A unifying design language runs throughout the entire yacht. The designers have employed curved architectural forms, shaping joinery, furniture, structural glazing, and lighting. They further remark that all elements either begin or end in a full radius, creating a sense of continuity between the spaces.The owners' choices can be seen throughout <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">Project Zero</a>’s design. Her main saloon features a flexible dining table designed to double as a puzzle and craft table, reflecting the owners' hobbies during extended periods onboard. Elsewhere, modular cockpit furniture can be swiftly reconfigured into either lounge or dining arrangements. Meanwhile, electrically operated cockpit windows enable guests to enclose exterior spaces at the touch of a button.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/396257/image/large-90f1c0052c3eb53d6f1ebf5adf3d6cce.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/396257">Accommodation onboard includes four staterooms. Each stateroom is personalised around places of significance to the owners, all taking inspiration from destinations from Italy to French Polynesia. The owner’s suite is arranged around the mizzen mast, which has been wrapped in a bespoke artwork by American sculptor Sienna Martz. Moreover, this area benefits from a dedicated study to support long periods of working remotely while cruising.Further customisation extends behind the scenes, where the traditional full-beam engine room has been eliminated to make room for a concealed service corridor, enabling the crew to move discreetly throughout the yacht while maintaining guest privacy.According to <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/15" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Vripack (Company)">Vripack</a>, the yacht combines hydro-generation through regenerative turbine propellers with more than 100-square-metres of photovoltaic thermal panels integrated into her biminis. These panels generate electrical and thermal energy to power onboard systems, heating and cooling.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/396258/image/large-478db106ff098d1896050a1003af3d87.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/396258">The yacht's sailing performance has also been refined thanks to a collaboration with Emirates Team New Zealand. Through advanced computational fluid dynamics testing, they developed a distinctive topside curvature that reportedly improves sailing speed by 2.5 percent while simultaneously increasing the vessel's electric power generation by approximately eight percent.Currently under construction at <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/34" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Vitters Shipyard (Company)">Vitters Shipyard</a>, <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">Project Zero</a> is scheduled for launch in summer 2026.

Founded in 2018 as an extension of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2547" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Xtenders (Company)">Xtenders</a>’ work in the superyacht sector, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4947" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Xquip (Company)">Xquip</a> initially focused on lightweight boarding and deck equipment designed to match the quality and finish of the tenders being delivered. The business grew out of repeated demand from shipyards and designers for products such as swimming ladders and awning systems that reflected the same emphasis on design, weight efficiency and usability. Since then, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4947" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Xquip (Company)">Xquip</a> has expanded its range and developed its production capabilities, increasing its presence within the superyacht deck equipment market.Its relationship with <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2547" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Xtenders (Company)">Xtenders</a> continues to shape how the business operates today. The two companies share engineering expertise and production knowledge and may collaborate on the same yacht, with tender solutions and deck equipment developed in parallel to create greater consistency in design, materials and user experience. This also allows <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4947" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Xquip (Company)">Xquip</a> to offer shipyards, designers and owner’s representatives a more coordinated approach across different parts of a project.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/394339/image/large-761eef67c3473dcab070e3c337afcb00.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/394339">Expanding the product range and reshaping the business<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4947" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Xquip (Company)">Xquip</a>’s product range now extends well beyond its initial focus on ladders and awnings. Today, the company’s portfolio includes self-levelling stairs, fender systems, mooring whips, gangways and a broader selection of boarding solutions. While core products such as swimming ladders, awnings, whips and fender systems continue to see strong demand, interest is also growing in newer categories including dock steps and davit cranes.Mooring equipment remains one area of focus, with carbon whips supplied with individual serial numbers to provide traceability and warranty assurance. At the same time, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4947" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Xquip (Company)">Xquip</a> is continuing to develop further categories, including SOLAS-compliant pilot ladders, as it seeks to broaden its product range further.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/396357/image/large-fee6e7bfab36f07ef8214522f3d34037.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/396357">Supporting that broader product mix has been a wider change in the scale and structure of the business.

Greater standardisation and production efficiency have been introduced, while bespoke solutions continue to be developed in close collaboration with designers and shipyards. In a sector where no two projects are the same, the company is aiming to improve efficiency without moving away from the project-specific engineering that superyacht builds often require.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/257673/image/large-a11765a4442b7038b34c007d2434ac98.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/257673">A growing footprint across the superyacht marketWith its equipment now installed on more than 200 yachts, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4947" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Xquip (Company)">Xquip</a> has established a stronger presence across the sector.

Today's superyacht owners and captains expect more from a marina than a safe berth. As homeports become an increasingly important part of the ownership experience, the most successful destinations combine operational excellence with a lifestyle offering that enhances every day spent ashore. <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/393" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Marina Port Vell (Company)">Marina Port Vell</a> has become one of the clearest examples of that evolution. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/293730/image/large-e75af879f302d6126f25c083d7f277bc.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/293730">Few marinas can claim such a close relationship to the city that surrounds them. Just beyond the pontoons lies one of Europe's most vibrant cities, where Michelin-starred restaurants, luxury shopping, world-renowned architecture and excellent international transport links are all within easy reach. Situated within walking distance of Barcelona's historic centre, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/393" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Marina Port Vell (Company)">Marina Port Vell</a> has become a unique waterfront setting, established as one of the city's most exclusive venues for luxury events, private celebrations and corporate hospitality.The port’s reputation has always been strong, but has gained international recognition since becoming the preferred superyacht marina during the 37th America’s Cup. While Barcelona welcomed the international sporting event, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/393" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Marina Port Vell (Company)">Marina Port Vell&nbsp;</a>sat right at the centre of the action.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/364777/image/large-7bd7145011c49149e458148660ce9317.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/364777">A homeport for world’s largest superyachtsBuilt to accommodate superyachts, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/393" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Marina Port Vell (Company)">Marina Port Vell&nbsp;</a>offers 73 berths, alongside the port’s impressive 400-metre dock, capable of welcoming some of the world’s largest superyachts, marking the largest dock in the Mediterranean.The marina’s scale is immediately apparent, but equally as impressive is the quality of day-to-day operations. Every aspect of a yacht’s stay has been carefully considered: from sheltered berthing to floating work platforms, mooring assistance, storage facilities adjacent to berths, and electric golf car transport and delivery service that simplify the logistics across the marina. These considerations allow for routine maintenance and operational tasks to be completed with minimal disruption.Fuel operations have become another defining factor of the marina: <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/393" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Marina Port Vell (Company)">Marina Port Vell</a> can provide premium fuel as well as HVO eco-fuel. At-berth refuelling enables yachts to refuel without relocation, offering smooth operations and time efficiency to vessels.&nbsp;Another standout feature of the port is the high security standards. Fully compliant with ISPS regulations, ensuring maximum safety, confidentiality and peace of mind for both vessels and guests. The marina operates controlled access throughout the site, with clearly defined security zones aligned with international maritime standards, ensuring consistency without any unnecessary complexity.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/399405/image/large-336bb471434503b82f631267f36aa110.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/399405">A new era shaped by investment and ambitionMarina Port Vell’s continued evolution is due to its significant investment programme designed to meet the ever-changing demands of the global superyacht fleet. Between 2021 and 2024, more than €20 million was invested in transforming the marina’s infrastructure, reinforcing its position as one of the Mediterranean’s leading superyacht destinations.Completed in July 2024, the redevelopment introduced 23 additional berths for superyachts up to 70-metres and ensured further integration of the marina with Barcelona’s iconic waterfront. The redevelopment also saw the reorganisation of the marina’s water surface, which has improved operational efficiency as well as environmental performance.Sustainability formed a central pillar of the marina’s redevelopment. The new state-of-the-art fuel supply system was introduced to improve both operational safety and environmental performance, completed by the availability of HVO renewable fuel to support yacht owners and captains who are seeking lower-emission alternatives.&nbsp;The marina’s 510-metre underground pipeline network, spanning Barceloneta Quay, Reloj Quay and T Dock, enables yachts to bunker directly alongside their berth. This aligns with <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/393" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Marina Port Vell (Company)">Marina Port Vell</a>’s sustainable practices, ensuring that vessels don’t need to relocate ensures environmental risks are kept to a minimum, as well as further enhancing the marina’s efficiency.One of the most recent additions is the underwater drone inspection service, providing efficient hull and mooring inspections without the need for more complex interventions. The technology supports preventative maintenance while improving operational planning and reducing downtime.The facilities Inward Proceeding Status offers clear financial advantages for non-EU yachts undergoing maintenance and repair in the Mediterranean. This supports more efficient operational and financial planning, making Marina Port Vell the homeport choice within the Mediterranean.&nbsp;The investments made by the marina reflect a continued push for growing to not just meet, but thrive in meeting the industry’s growing expectations. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/293745/image/large-196ecf8fa65d59fbb74a28f5f2d4627c.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/293745">More than a superyacht destination: a place for captains &amp; crew to enjoyA successful homeport extends beyond the needs of the yacht itself, and recognising the importance of crew well-being, Marina Port Vell has worked hard to develop an environment that encourages both professional support and personal enjoyment.&nbsp;Through the establishment of the marina’s Crew Life programme, the captains and crew berthed became part of a larger community. Through weekly yoga sessions, various network opportunities and training initiatives, those staying in the marina have the opportunity to spend time connecting with fellow yachties whilst also growing their skillset and staying active. Additionally, the marina organises weekly social gatherings that centre around meaningful connection.The marina’s investment in crew well-being does not stop there: a carefully curated calendar of monthly events introduces the crews and captains of berthed yachts to the true Barcelona experience. Through wine tastings, gastronomic experiences, seasonal celebrations and cultural excursions across the city, berthing in Marina Port Vell is more than a homeport for superyachts, the marina becomes an exciting, adventurous home base for those captains and crew too.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/399406/image/large-ad41e6575333d4528a4d713e6319af7a.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/399406">A marina at the heart of Barcelona’s scenic waterfront&nbsp;Few marinas can claim such a close relationship to the city that surrounds them.
