Scintilla Maris: 46m trawler converted into explorer yacht in Holland
The 45.6-metre beam fishing trawler yacht Scintilla Maris has completed a full-scale conversion at her home shipyard of Damen Maaskant shipyard in the western Netherlands. The vessel underwent a huge variety of modifications to turn her into a capable and competent explorer yacht, while also reducing the yacht’s 570GT to below the 500GT threshold. Elsewhere, the yard’s goal of paring down the internal volume has meant more semi-enclosed and open spaces. Ten guests can be accommodated in the lower deck in four double cabins and a large owner’s suite amidships underneath the original hatch into the fish hold. 2 photos, >click to read< 12:18
Focus on Alternative Fuels
The Padmos Shipyard is taking part in this year’s Holland Fisheries Event, with the spotlight on future-oriented fishing projects. That means less energy consumption, lower CO2 emissions and alternative fuels. The yard is based at Stellendam in the south of Holland and specialises in newbuilds, repair and maintenance of fishing vessels. The company is currently designing conversions of existing fishing vessels to diesel-electric propulsion methods or alternative fuels, according to director Walter van Harberden.
