The 160-metre new build Project Blue has been launched by German shipbuilder Lürssen, hitting the water earlier today at the yard’s Bremen facility in the north of the country.

Details of the displacement motor yacht have been kept tightly under wraps throughout the construction process, though it is understood it was designed inside and out by Terence Disdale.

So far, the yard has revealed that Project Blue has a beam of 22 metres and an impressive interior volume of 15,320 GT – similar in size to 156 metre Dilbar, which has a volume of 15,917 GT and was delivered by Lürssen back in 2016 with design by Espen Oeino International and Winch Design.

First images have now been revealed of the project following the launch, debuting her clean lines and raked bow.

Images of the superyacht also show that she is equipped with two helicopter landing sites; a large helideck at the bow and a smaller helipad aft.

Each of the four upper decks features a large al fresco entertaining area and there is a swimming platform connected to a beach club, plus forward stateroom balconies on either side.
