Genoa based Tankoa Yachts has released these renderings of their latest, and also largest superyacht project, project S801, designed by Francesco Paszkowski. S801, at the moment referred to a project Golden Wings, is a concept design, based on an 80 meter long platform, extendable to 88 meters. She will have a 2,500 gross tonnage in its 80 meter version.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/151853/image/large-5a3e02474bc90d53801cb4f96212140d.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/151853">The yacht will feature a large owner’s suite, located aft on the upper deck. The suite will feature a large bedroom, with two walk-in wardrobes, a massage area, private SPA/Sauna, personal office and a spacious bathroom. She will also feature five VIP cabins located on the main deck<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/151854/image/large-0fa90291b35f55b4bd9851e071bfc805.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/151854">The S801 concept project will be completed in the next few months, as the yard is currently finishing up the development of technical specifications, principal system layouts and engineering.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/151855/image/large-e27b6974346cbd6d84197ccd806fa3fc.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/151855">Yacht-Ology President Michel Karsenti, responsible for Tankoa's sales and marketing commented: “All along the inception of the S801/S881 project the aim was to bring the marketplace a different approach. We’ve seen over the last few years a number of out-of-the-box designs being launched. Most of them were trendy but looked outdated after a couple of years. With this new project, we are bringing a radically new design that retains the classic basics of an elegant super yacht. It will surely give the project a long lasting appealing elegance that any yacht buyer is concerned with to achieve the best possible resale value”.Tankoa's first launch will be S693, for a delivery to her owner in July 2015.By Maarten Janssen

The word of the name refers to an ideal cosy state of clear weather and smooth wind,” explained designer Chong Wu. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/269234/image/large-6255436f84a73074fd71b980199033e9.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/269234"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/269237/image/large-8459f433b656a985cd21448a7cc9b4db.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/269237"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/269250/image/large-264c54fdacb3c8b0463e68c487eab2bd.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/269250">Lang-Ching provides her owner with spacious and transparent spaces for entertaining and relaxing onboard.

There is the opportunity to lounge at her pool, or get in a workout at her gym, as well as relaxing in her spacious beach club area. Guests can make use of her large tender and toy garage and there is even the option to land and store a helicopter, with a dedicated hangar.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/265336/image/large-1de014551e24c171e36348efb417b848.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/265336">“We might be biassed, but we think she turned out rather sexy!” concluded Christian Leyk. “It would be up to her future owner whether or not to add a matching tender, but something featuring polished aluminium and rivets and a repurposed aircraft engine would certainly look great alongside her!”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/265331/image/large-eec01816324c40cffc1c330691f659d6.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/265331">

Together, we believe we are positioned to offer customers a multi-layered network that gives them the right connectivity at the right time, place and price.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/251465/image/large-65250364f6dfbf29802d99a42e82cf83.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/251465">“Thanks to all those who worked so tirelessly and thoroughly to complete this transaction,” said Dankberg. “I’d also like to thank the Viasat team and the leadership team at Inmarsat, especially the contributions of Rajeev Suri, Inmarsat CEO, and Andy Sukawaty, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4064" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Inmarsat plc (Company)">Inmarsat</a> Chairman.

Viasat also reconfirmed that its new global international business headquarters will be in London. Corporate headquarters will continue to be in Carlsbad, California. Further decisions regarding organizational structure and leadership will be determined as part of the ongoing integration process.“Our goal is to be the undisputed leader in satellite communications with a sharp focus on providing the best products and services for our customers,” said Gowrappan. “We are more than the sum of our parts. This combination broadens the global fixed and mobile services available to customers in an industry-defining moment. We intend to move quickly to bring the best from each company together in a way that creates much deeper value for our stakeholders and ensures we deliver on our synergy commitments.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/195034/image/large-e11ca4b857f5c9a2b385bfc4f99ce95d.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/195034">“Satellite communications is a hugely significant and strategic global market for the U.K. space sector, now poised for an exciting next phase,” said George Freeman MP, the U.K.’s Minister of State at the Department of Science, Innovation &amp; Technology. “The combination of Viasat and Inmarsat creates a global leader in satellite communications here in the U.K. It brings significant investment, hundreds of new highly skilled jobs and will serve as a catalyst for substantial economic growth. Having met both companies, I look forward to working with them as we use the U.K.’s regulatory freedom and leadership to support advanced technologies to boost the space economy’s productivity, profitability and sustainability.”Under the terms of the purchase agreement, at the closing of the transaction, Inmarsat’s shareholders received an aggregate of $551 million in cash, subject to adjustments, and approximately $46.36 million shares of common stock. The cash portion of the purchase price was reduced from $850 million to $551 million after Inmarsat paid a $299 million special dividend to its shareholders in April 2022. The shares issued to the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4064" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Inmarsat plc (Company)">Inmarsat</a> shareholders at the closing represent an aggregate of approximately 37.6 percent of the total shares of Viasat common stock on a fully diluted basis, with no Inmarsat shareholder receiving shares representing 10% or more. In connection with closing of the acquisition on May 30, 2023, Viasat drew down on approximately $1.35 billion of its committed financing package, including a $617 million secured term loan facility and a $733 million unsecured bridge loan. The lower financed amount reflects in part the reduction in the cash component of the purchase price.
