New vessels review Meet the world’s largest private 92-foot hydrofoil


UAE-based company Foiler has revealed the world’s first 92-foot (28 m) private hydrofoiling yacht. The groundbreaking concept, dubbed Ghost thanks to its silent design and dark aesthetic, was developed in collaboration with Bozca Design and shipbuilder ENATA. The hull and frame are made from advanced carbon fibre and titanium, making the vessel ultra lightweight yet extraordinarily strong. ENATA supplied their proprietary foiling system to the project, which is a refined version of the technology first developed on Foiler’s earlier model, the Spirit.


While foiling, Ghost is designed to cruise comfortably at 30–35 knots (34-40 mph), with a projected top speed of over 40 knots (46 mph). Inside, Ghost offers more than 1990 square feet (185 sq m) of living space, with 1430 sq ft (133 sq m) of interior social area (not including the cabins), plus another 560 sq ft (52 sq m) outdoor deck which includes an aft beach club with direct access to the water.


New Ro-Ro to support LNG transport across Italy’s Gulf of La Spezia


GNL Italia, the LNG regasification subsidiary of Italian energy infrastructure company Snam, recently placed a new Ro-Ro vessel into service. The purpose-built, fully electric Greenwave will be operated primarily on the stretch of the Gulf of La Spezia between the Panigaglia LNG terminal and the Italian hinterland. She is outfitted for the secure transport of cryogenic tanks or up to four tanker trucks carrying LNG as an alternative to having these move on their own across roads, thus minimising congestion.


The vessel has an LOA of 50.2 metres (165 feet), a beam of 13.89 metres (45.57 feet), a gross tonnage of 456, and space for 12 passengers and four crewmembers. Aluminium was used for the hull to ensure lightweight construction, which will in turn improve operating efficiency.


Automated stability controls will help mitigate the effect of swells during transits to keep the vessel as stable as possible and to minimise passenger and crew fatigue.
