<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/64" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Oceanco (Company)">Oceanco</a> has partnered with design firm <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7890" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Mario Biferali Yacht Design (Company)">Mario Biferali Yacht Design (MBYD)</a> to unveil the 150-metre conversion ‘Nacht®’ concept Project Antos. On display during the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Event/224" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Monaco Yacht Show - 2024">Monaco Yacht Show 2024</a>, the new project fuses the functionality of commercial shipping vessels, with the luxury of yachting to create a unique and functional design.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/332637/image/large-c5ccae44ac9b9e13566a8accabe4787f.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/332637">The term ‘Nacht®’ blends the words Naval and Yachting, symbolising the fusion of two traditionally separate industries – commercial shipping and luxury yachting. The first ‘Nacht’ design, Project Antos, is a groundbreaking conversion project of a 150-metre shipping container, which has been reimagined with sleek minimalism and cutting-edge features.“Antos is a creative solution that reflects what a growing number of owners are looking for in their yachts: something that can adapt to the demands of private life, family time, remote work, philanthropy and adventure,” explained designer <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7890" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Mario Biferali Yacht Design (Company)">Mario Biferali</a>.With an estimated 10,630 GT of internal volume, Project Antos aims to retain the simplicity and purity of its previous life as a container ship, while adopting an expansive new layout to enhance onboard living.Characterised by a sleek and modern profile, Project Antos features an elongated superstructure and bow, with clean, sharp lines that are enhanced by her large cut-out windows. Her defining feature is her central tower, which rises above the deck to create a functional and aesthetic centrepiece, reminiscent of her shipping heritage. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/332639/image/large-406ced7ed892388df58b904a75947a7a.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/332639">Spanning three decks, Project Antos’ tower acts as the owner’s private sanctuary, offering 360-degree views and access to an exclusive sun deck. Remaining guest accommodation consists of VIP suites and guest staterooms, while children and nanny staterooms can be connected, with a play area and media room providing extra entertainment.The yacht also provides ample space for crew, with accommodation for 54 crew members in 27 cabins. The captain is housed in a private cabin on the bridge deck, ensuring the highest level of service for both the owner and guests.In terms of exterior space, Project Antos is divided into distinct areas, with her foredeck configured for entertainment. The deck includes a heli-deck for large helicopters, wind-protected sports courts, an expansive swimming pool raised on a podium, a double sit-up bar and multiple lounging areas.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/332638/image/large-28dc6cabffba1c80c47edaeecde11a30.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/332638">For added convenience, staterooms on the lower deck are accessible from the foredeck, while high bulwarks provide both privacy and protection. Meanwhile, the aft deck is transformed into a social lounge, ideal for hosting large groups or more intimate gatherings. A staircase from the aft deck leads to an elevated terrace, shaded by a rotating bladed awning that offers optional cover.According to designer <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7890" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Mario Biferali Yacht Design (Company)">Mario Biferali</a>, Project Antos is designed with today’s yacht owners in mind, offering a wide range of onboard amenities. These include a full-beam gym, a double-height sports court, a Pilates and yoga room, and a fully-equipped wellness area complete with a sauna, hammam, beauty salon, and treatment rooms.&nbsp;The yacht also includes a cinema and media room for evening entertainment, with many living spaces adaptable for purposes such as scientific research, remote working, or philanthropic activities.“Named after the ancient Greek word for ‘flower’, Antos embodies a new beginning for this converted vessel; a fresh shot of life that gracefully conquers the sea,” concluded <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7890" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Mario Biferali Yacht Design (Company)">Mario Biferali</a>.

31m Platinum motor yacht Romantica on the market 

It’s not every day that one has the opportunity to visit shipyards in the Far East, especially in China. In June, the inaugural SuperYacht Times <a href="https://www.superyachttimes.com/events/asia-pacific-summit-2024-2024" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="">Asia-Pacific Summit</a> in Hong Kong provided a perfect occasion to explore regional shipyards and marinas. Recently, the Asia-Pacific region has been increasing its share in the construction of yachts over 30-metres in length.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/332002/image/large-fea235340d9ae4c2209734e97934a880.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/332002">During the summit, SuperYacht Times' Head of Intelligence, Ralph Dazert, presented the <a href="https://www.superyachttimes.com/market-reports/asia-pacific-superyacht-market-report-2024" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="">Asia-Pacific Market Report 2024</a>, which outlined this trend. According to the report, as of the beginning of 2024, builders from the Asia-Pacific region accounted for 509 out of the 5,787 operating yachts over 30-metres worldwide, representing a share of 8.8%. This positions the region as the third-largest superyacht construction area globally, following Europe (including Turkey) and North America. Moreover, over the past decade, the share of builders from the Asia-Pacific region has increased to 9.9%, with these builders delivering 159 out of the 1,604 yachts completed between 2014 and 2023. As a result, the region now ranks second after Europe, as the influence of North America has declined.SuperYacht Times Features writer Enrico Chhibber recently visited <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/517" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Cheoy Lee (Company)">Cheoy Lee</a> at their facilities in Zhuhai, China, just before the commencement of the Summit. After a pick up in Hong Kong, Enrico met with Fiona Li, the head of marketing at <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/517" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Cheoy Lee (Company)">Cheoy Lee</a>, and was driven across the border towards Zhuhai.&nbsp;<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/517" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Cheoy Lee (Company)"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/332001/image/large-5cd01e6d8d238d387a69cdc8691186e9.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/332001">Cheoy Lee</a> is one of the oldest family-run shipyards in the Asia-Pacific region, with a storied history. Originally founded in 1870 by the Lo family in China, the company relocated to Hong Kong in the 1930s. While the company maintains its head office and a small repair yard in Kowloon, Hong Kong, it relocated its construction facilities from Penny’s Bay to Zhuhai, China, in 1996. Since then, the Penny’s Bay site has been transformed into what is now Hong Kong's Disneyland.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/220646/image/large-5477a925a390ad705be09ae7d33a0b6e.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/220646"><a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/517" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Cheoy Lee (Company)">Cheoy Lee</a> has constructed numerous innovative yachts and was one of the first shipyards in the region to use fibreglass, notably on the 39.78-metre motor yacht <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/3836" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Nataly39.78m (130'6&quot;)Cheoy Lee1978">Nataly</a> (formerly Shango II), which was the largest fibreglass yacht ever built at the time of her construction in 1978. However, the yard's expertise extends beyond fibreglass; it also works extensively with steel and aluminium. Among the well-known superyachts constructed by <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/517" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Cheoy Lee (Company)">Cheoy Lee</a> are the 46-metre <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/2621" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Avalon46.0m (150'11&quot;)Cheoy Lee2011">Avalon</a> and the 45-metre explorer yacht <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/2307" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Limited Risks45.0m (147'8&quot;)Cheoy Lee2007">Limited Risks</a> (formerly Marco Polo).Upon our arrival at the shipyard, we were warmly greeted by Martin Lo, the Director, and his nephew, Hans Lo, the Deputy Director of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/517" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Cheoy Lee (Company)">Cheoy Lee</a>. Hans represents the fifth generation of his family to work at the company. They escorted us to the main meeting room, where Martin shared his background in yachting. Born into a shipbuilding family, his career path seemed a natural progression. He emphasised the importance of a family-run shipyard to <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/517" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Cheoy Lee (Company)">Cheoy Lee</a>'s identity. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/247078/image/large-b55615fc33411404935e67ddb8b13459.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/247078">In late 2018, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/517" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Cheoy Lee (Company)">Cheoy Lee</a> underwent a strategic restructuring. The company's luxury production arm was rebranded as <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6398" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="CL Yachts (Company)">CL Yachts</a>, while larger custom builds continued under the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/517" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Cheoy Lee (Company)">Cheoy Lee</a> brand. <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/517" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Cheoy Lee (Company)">Cheoy Lee</a> shipyards are focused on the production of commercial vessels, including offshore supply vessels, tugs, and ferries.Regarding the production ratio between commercial and pleasure yachts, Lo stated that at present it stands at 85% commercial projects and 15% pleasure craft. As for the yachts currently under construction, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/517" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Cheoy Lee (Company)">Cheoy Lee</a> has two explorer motor yachts in the pipeline: the 39.73-metre <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/10701" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Cheoy Lee 130 Explorer39.73m (130'4&quot;)Cheoy Lee2024">Cheoy Lee 130 Explorer</a> and the 32.76-metre Cheoy Lee 107. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/332003/image/large-040340f503dfd284944242680f218609.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/332003">Lo then explained that the city of Zhuhai and the surrounding area has developed into a hub for the production and refit of commercial vessels. Additionally, he mentioned that some local shipyards have recently started to venture into yacht construction.When asked about the state of the domestic yacht market, Lo explained that the majority of yachts built in China are intended for international markets. He specified that <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/517" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Cheoy Lee (Company)">Cheoy Lee</a>'s primary clientele has traditionally been in North America, with additional clients in Europe. In 2022, the company broadened its international footprint by appointing a dealer in Australasia, SE Asia, Hong Kong and Middle East. .<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/182372/image/large-00a4e228745d20b66ec42741673de3d5.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/182372">As we commenced the tour of the facilities, we viewed several commercial projects along with the 39.73-metre <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/10701" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Cheoy Lee 130 Explorer39.73m (130'4&quot;)Cheoy Lee2024">Cheoy Lee 130</a>, currently under construction for a returning client.
