Filmed at the Heesen Monaco Yacht Show press conference at the Belle Epoque Hermitage Hotel, a special YachtTalk report unveiled the Dutch shipyard’s exciting new yacht concept in partnership with Winch Design. Host Charlotte Kan engaged naval architect and yacht designer Jim Dixon of Winch Design to share details of the exciting model, and caught up with Heesen CEO Arthur Brouwer to find out about the shipyard and industry’s most recent developments.
Market intelligence The year 2022 has seen both the superyacht industry and world politics enter a challenging period in history following the invasion of Ukraine. For Heesen, the impact was felt across the board.
“The invasion of Ukraine impacted us in our client base and commercially it was very slow at the beginning of the year,” said Brouwer. “Luckily, that has bounced back now, helped by the shipyard’s actions to move away from the former shareholder and towards the foundation. We’re now 100% Dutch owned.”
