Mark Cavendish, Heesen’s CCO, comments: “This time-honoured maritime tradition not only forges a bond between the vessel, the shipyard, the crew, and the sea but also invokes a sense of pride and anticipation for ALP’s future journeys. On behalf of everyone at Heesen, I would like to express our gratitude to Jim Evans and his team at Superyachts Monaco for their exceptional collaboration on this project.”
ALP belongs to Heesen’s successful 50-meter semi-displacement series. The exterior lines, penned by Frank Laupman of Omega Architects, exude speed and sportiness while maintaining an elegant appeal. With a top speed of 23 knots, ALP delivers a unique proposition: fast cruising, comfort, and luxury combined with the ultimate technology. Her thunder results from intelligent engineering, precise aluminium construction and meticulous weight calculation. Heesen is one of the few shipyards in the world that can build aluminium hulls in-house to the finest tolerances. Aluminium welding is a rigorous discipline that requires a combination of education, technical skills, focus and stamina. Precise engineering, exact construction, and effective project management ensure that the weight control meets the strict requirements without any compromise on luxury.
