SUV mega yacht takes Blohm + Voss to greater depths


Slower greener Blohm + Voss has taken its foot of the accelerator pedal and launched a mega yacht design that is aimed at a more adventurous owner with the time to appreciate his surroundings.


B


reaking from its usual high speed yacht designs, Blohm + Voss shipyard has created what it has described as its


“sports utility vehicle (SUV)” yacht the B+V 120 MY/X. Tis is the second yacht to be presented to the yacht market aſter the B+V 110m/fast yacht that is capable of achieving 40knots. Even though the yacht has a slower


maximum cruising speed of 18.5knots, what the B+V 120 MY/X lacks in speed it makes up for in “toys” onboard. Te B+V 120 MY/X has been laid out to combine the capability of worldwide cruising at a maximum possible comfort for the owner and guests and still include space for further sea exploration equipment, such as diving equipment, said Blohm + Voss. In keeping with green regulations the


yacht will be powered by three 4500kW pod drives and eight 2080kW generators with soot filtration. The propulsion plant has been designed to achieve lowest noise and vibrations levels, highest manoeuvrability performance and maximum environmental friendliness by means of a diesel-electric propulsion system.
