Additionally, the power management system could be reduced to the most essential functions, making it more user-friendly as well as easier to maintain, and ensuring that the chance of failure is negligible. All in all, this impressive adaptation by the engineers of Piet Brouwer Elektrotechnology has enhanced the system’s reliability and, therefore, the overall safety onboard superyacht Berzinc.

Rob Van Wieringen, Project coordinator for Astilleros in STP, comments: “As our first workshop quickly became too small, we have expanded with this new large mechanical workshop within STP in the Global Building. Our team of Project Managers has moved into their new offices directly above the new mechanical workshop and all operate from within the STP yard. The new location of the workshop and machinery allows us to be more efficient, always with the backup of the main yard when required. Now with both mechanical and metal workshops running on-site, plans are continuing for further expansion in order to offer more services.”

Superyacht Paraiso refitted at Astilleros de Mallorca August 05, 2010 Motor yacht Paraiso is a 46,6m superyacht built at the Feadship Royal Van Lent yard in 1983. Motor yacht Paraiso is currently hauled out at the Astilleros refit facility in Palma undergoing refit work before her planned relaunch late this summer. Motor yacht Paraiso’s original naval architecture is by De Voogt, with interior and exterior design by Bannenberg Designs Ltd.
Motor yacht Paraiso - Photo Credit Astilleros de Mallorca Motor yacht Paraiso - Photo Credit Astilleros de Mallorca It took many months of careful project preparation with the owner, designer, captain and the shipyard all involved in the refit project on motoryacht Paraiso.
Instead of carrying out a W5 service on existing MTU 538 main engines, Astilleros de Mallorca opened her Port side hull and replaced these with new and more economic MTU 4000 V12 engines with 1045Kw each, through the opening in the side of the hull. Motor yacht Paraiso is expected to have a maximum speed of approximately 18 knots and a cruising speed of around 14-15 knots and will meet the emission standards in Europe and USA. The generators are also being rebuilt and all audiovisual equipment is being renewed.
The aft sun deck area has been gutted and the heavy tender crane system and tenders have been removed and replaced with a single RIB tender and a hydraulic crane, freeing up the entire upper aft deck for al fresco dining, entertainment or sunbathing. Motor yacht Paraiso’s large fore deck bow area is also undergoing major work, where she will receive a new lounge and sunbathing area with Jacuzzi.
Some parts of the interiors and the soft furnishings have also been replaced with modern Bannenberg & Rowell Design.
The delivery of superyacht Paraiso is planned for the end of 2010.
