110m Kaos (ex Jubilee) Redelivered by Lurssen After Major Refit
\n \tFollowing an extensive refit at Lurssen\u2019s Blohm + Voss facilities in Hamburg, the 110m superyacht formerly named Jubilee has emerged. KAOS marks Lurssen\u2019s largest refit project to date, commencing at the end of March 2019, and involving modifications to her interior and exterior.
\n ‘We are very satisfied that we achieved what we set out to do,’\u00a0comments York Ilgner, director L\u00fcrssen Yacht Refit. ‘It was a complex refit that was challenging at times, but it has been very successful.’
\nAs many will already be aware, the iconic superyacht now named Kaos was originally built by Dutch shipyard Oceanco and christened Jubilee in 2017. Exterior modifications on the main deck and bridge deck aft, penned by original designer Sam Sorgiovanni, have been integrated into the yacht\u2019s original design.\u00a0
\n‘What you see from outside already looks significant, but the majority of the work was done on the interior,’ continues Thomas Dapp, the project manager. ‘Overall, we renewed 1,500 square metres of interior spaces.’
\nThe Owner\u2019s team selected British designer Reymond Langton design for the interiors, who deftly redesigned existing spaces as well as creating new ones. Burgess\u2019s new construction team represented the owner on the project, building on a long-standing collaboration between the global brokerage house and L\u00fcrssen Yachts.\u00a0
\n\u2018The owners were heavily involved in every aspect of the project,’\u00a0says Ed Beckett from Burgess. \u2018This was an incredibly demanding project particularly in relation to timing and quality expectations \u2013 the end result is really quite exceptional and was only achieved with great teamwork from all involved.\u2019
\nL\u00fcrssen was proud to announce the successful completion of the works towards the tail end of what has undeniably been an extremely disruptive year for many, circumventing any issues presented by breakdown of supply chains and the yard\u2019s own safety protocols.\u00a0\u00a0
\nThe conversion works on Kaos solidify L\u00fcrssen\u2019s presence in the refit sector on yachts that were not built at its own yard. With extensive facilities, strong manpower and engineering expertise, L\u00fcrssen is able to apply the same excellent construction quality to its refit projects as to its new builds. These extensive facilities include eight shipyards across Northern Germany, a workforce of over 2,800 staff, including over 700 engineers and naval architects.\u00a0
\nAlthough each project is unique, L\u00fcrssen applies the same promise to every project it takes on; that the yacht\u2019s life expectancy and performance will be restored to that of a new build after leaving the L\u00fcrssen shed.<\/p>\n
