We are delighted to confirm that the construction of YN 20555, code-named Project Serena, is proceeding on schedule for delivery to her owners in the Fall of 2024. The yacht’s hull and superstructure have been joined together, and the next stages of the build are well under way.
To avoid welding cross-contamination between steel and aluminium fabrication, Heesen has developed strict protocols during its long-term partnership with Talsma, a Friesland shipyard specialising in the construction of steel craft. Serena’s steel hull arrived in Oss after a two-day trip by sea, canal and river from the north of Holland. The tug Vlieter and push boat Aegir safely shepherded the hull on its 125 nautical mile journey at a stately eight knots through the Waddenzee, IJselmeer, Markermeer and along Amsterdam’s Rijnkanaal, and then onto the Waal and the Maas. It was brought alongside in Oss on Wednesday, 19 April, where the aluminium superstructure arrived a day later.
Rick van de Wetering, Heesen’s Chief Operation Officer, comments: “We owe our accomplishments not only to Heesen’s craftspeople but to our extended family of trustworthy suppliers and loyal partners, who are an integral part of our success. Talsma has been growing with us. We share the same vision — to create the best Dutch superyachts in the smartest and most efficient manner possible.”
