Missing Link

Christensen Shipyards launched their first Custom 43M Series project, superyacht Missing Link this week. This project was sold to American buyers in 2012. The shipyard has released the following video detailing the momentous launch for the company, starting with the move from the fabrication facility to the launch site, moving on to the ballasted transition from land to dry dock, and concluding with the launch. Missing Link is powered by twin MTU 12V 4000 series engines, with a range of over 3,500 nautical miles.<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/9LLX5czz78U" width="560"></iframe>By Gemma Fottles

Video of the launch of superyacht Missing Link

The Columbian newspaper has reported that workers at Christensen Shipyards arrived at a locked gate, when they came to work on monday morning. It appears that the yard allowed employees gather their tools, before sending them home again.In December we already reported that the yard was undergoing a multipart ownership restructure. Details at that time were still unclear, although Foggia stated in December "The restructure will be much better for the company’s growth".We have asked the yard to comment on this latest news, which follows only days after the launch of superyacht Missing Link, which we published yesterday. As soon as we receive a statement from the yard, we will publish this.By Maarten Janssen
