Heesen completes H2-designed superyacht Galvas

Shortly after the completion of its 50-metre superyacht Masa, Heesen has announced the delivery of another one of its custom projects, the 56-metre (184-foot) motor yacht Galvas. Designed by H2 Yacht Design’s Jonny Horsefield.

Design office Reymond Langton was selected to design the interiors on board which includes six luxurious staterooms and a selection of DKT Artworks pieces.

Galvas became the second Heesen project to feature an SCR catalytic system that reduces harmful NOx exhaust emissions and is built according to the latest IMO Tier III regulations.

Tested out on the North Sea ahead of her recent maiden voyage, Galvas’ figures reported a top speed of 15.5 knots and will be able to cover a range of 3,100 nm at a comfortable cruising speed of 13 knots. Her speed and efficiency is attributed to the Van Oossanen Naval Architects FDHF hull shape on which Galvas is built.

Galvas has since reached the Mediterranean Sea where she will spend the summer season.
