Project 'Luminance' Launches At Lurssen
German custom superyacht builder Lurssen has most of their projects and information about them buttoned and tightly controlled. This is no less true for the superyacht the yard launched yesterday, 9th of February. A massive superyacht only known so far by the Project name 'Luminance' was launched from the floating dry dock. The yacht believed to be in the region of 145-meters long emerged from the facility tightly controlled by assisting tugs to be towed to the outfitting berth. The design is by Espen Oeino on the exterior and the interior is by Zuretti and is estimated to have an internal volume in the region of 9,000 GT.

Lurssen provided the following image after the launch...
