Aggressive Superyacht Investment Pan for Blohm+Voss

 

Over the next year, the company is restructuring some independent divisions under the same roof. It’s further offering lifetime warranties and monitoring equipment on all new builds.

 

This plan has been prepared over the past few months in partnership with Star Capital and the Board of Directors.

 

Beers will be implementing a number of noteworthy changes over the next 12 months to reinvigorate the superyacht sector of the historic Blohm + Voss shipyard. 

 

These changes are designed to ensure that the business is fully optimized and efficient in meeting the needs of the diverse marine markets in which the company operates.

 

One of the most significant changes that will be implemented is the joining of the activities of Blohm+Voss Shipyards GmbH with Blohm+Voss Repair GmbH. The newly formed yacht division will be based in Hamburg and will have all expertise together in one location.

 

The full integration of both areas will ensure that clients benefit from a wider range of expertise and sharing of knowledge as well as a far more comprehensive offering throughout the lifecycle of the yacht.

 

Blohm+Voss will also introduce a Superyacht Lifecycle Management& Lifetime Warranty Development, and the sales team will be strengthened.

 

“Star Capital supports our long term plans to invest in Blohm+Voss and to ensure we continue to meet the changing needs of clients in the large yacht sector well into the future. Our strong financial position, combined with this further investment clearly reinforces a strong confidence in the business and our ability to build truly exceptional superyachts,” said Blohm+Voss CEO Fred van Beers.

 

The company boasts a build portfolio of nearly 1,000 vessels across its 138 year history as well as an impressive track record of complex refits and conversions on yachts, cruise liners and oil & gas platforms. 

 

However, it is the unique and iconic superyachts that have really brought the brand to prominence in recent years.
