Project Zeus has been restyled as Project "Something Cool" (what a weird project name) and is offered for sale at €59.95M. Has anyone heard the status of Golden Age? She is supposed to have a summer launch so I would think she may be launched soon
Today, YN248 "Just J's" has been launched. Enjoy the photo's. I can take some more pictures while she is still in "my backyard", just send me a request.
Thanks for these!! I would appreciate more (as well as progress update photos while she is there) if it is not too much trouble.
Different than with earlier Hakvoort launches, "Just J's" has been towed immediately to Amsterdam for completion, so I am not able to take some more pictures.
The hull for "Project Zeus" (YN249) has arrived at the Hakvoort Yard. Photo courtesy Vincent Koerse and Hans Kooistra.
It's actually not that bad. The only thing I would grab at is the patterning of the stone work in the elevator lobby... it doesn't match with anything.
Albert Hakvoort of the Royal Hakvoort Shipyard has passed away, he died at 80. He ran the Hakvoort yard for a long time only retiring in 2014 after six decades of service with the yard/company. In 2020 the yard was bestowed the Royal designation, a fitting tribute...perhaps before his passing.
