In Build: ADM Shipyards 'Swift 141' superyacht

ADM Shipyards 'Swift 141' superyacht​

The UAE will soon have another massive yacht in the top list of superyachts around the globe. Other than the 162-meter "Dubai", the UAE doesn't have a superyacht that measures close to her proportions. The Swift 141 project under construction by ADM Shipyards, (part of the Abu Dhabi Mar Group) is expected to be launched this year.

The 141-meter long vessel started life as a naval vessel, an S-class frigate in 1978. Now the vessel has been under a massive transformation from warship to ultra-luxurious superyacht. She features a more than spacious beam at her widest point of 50-feet. Her draught should be around 14 feet.

Her hull is steel which is expected but her superstructure is composite. In fact, when launched, the Swift 141 will have the largest composite superstructure of any yacht. The interior and exterior of this yacht is by Paris-based studio, Pierrejean Design. She will not only be large, but fast!

Top speed is anticipated to be 26 knots thanks to her warship hull and serious power below decks. Her twin MTU engines will supply approximately 21,000 horse power. The Swift 141 is expected to have a range just over 5,000 nautical miles. The vessel is currently outfitting for an expected launch in 2011.
