Hopefully this time he will work a bit harder on the deckplan.

The interiors of Amaryllis remaind me of the Gaddafi houses and plane in Lybia.

6493

Today a website published pictures from Lemwerder, of the project 6493, getting ready for launching.Vessel name: My Secret

Looks like the twin of the Oceanco 2008 "Anastasia"

Finally! Of course she shares some resembles with "Anastasia" as they have the same designer... but I do not really think you can call them twins, "Secret" is beautiful(!)... much better IMHO. It will be interesting to see which paint sheme she carries!
Btw, she already hit the water.

A German local newspaper reported about that (I'm sure you mean that):

Was that hull built in a different country? (Such a large transport ship was recently used to bring the F45 Feadship "Blue Sky" to China)

I love a boat with the American Flag!

I don't know, what's happened to the cargo ship. According to the newspaper: The hull was built in Bremerhaven (40/50 Kilometers up the Weser river from Lemwerder). Maybe a tug would stretch it to pull the hull down to Lemwerder.

Sometimes they use heavy cargo ships just in order to lower the hull into the water. It is much cheaper to hire a heavy cargo ship (which is available in the local area) for that purpose than ordering a large floating crane from Rotterdam for this short business. In those difficult times we do almost any job to make money.

1. She was on sea trials yesterday and is already back at the yard.
2. Ken, great photos from her trials on marinetraffic. I agree she is absolutly beautiful yacht(!), by far the best looking from A&R IMHO.
Also a nice video:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gUu2NwBe7AQ
I really hope we will see some features of her or she even ends up on the charter market like her predecessor! Can not wait to see more of "Secret".

Very nice video (and yacht)! Looks much better than Anastasia!
