Palumbo completes new superyacht shed

Palumbo Superyachts has completed its new shed at the shipyard’s Ancona facility in central Italy, following an investment of €2.9m.

The construction, which began last April, involved the creation of a new shed measuring 19 metres in width, 60 metres in length and 19 metres in height, which will be used for the outfitting of superyachts.

This will be in addition to the three sheds already existing in the 52,000 sqm Palumbo Superyachts Ancona production site. In addition to the team dedicated to the new yacht constructions, the shipyard has an expert team providing aftersales maintenance and refit service to used boats.

As well as its specialised manpower and dock capacities, the shipyard can also rely on a 560-tonne travel lift and a 3300-tonne superyacht lifting platform, the largest in the Adriatic Sea to date.

There are ten superyachts ranging from 30 to 80 metres of Extra Yachts, Columbus and ISA Yachts lines currently under construction at the Ancona facility.

“With the completion of the new shed, we are getting a breath of fresh air in terms of logistical and production efficiency, but we are always looking for new areas next to our construction site and overlooking the sea to better manage our orders,” says Giuseppe Palumbo, CEO of Palumbo Superyachts.

“The positive trend that is going through the entire nautical industry, including the specialised one in the Marche region, can result in concrete investments that companies are willing to make in their territory. A regional round table is being activated, and I am sure that the entire nautical sector can strongly benefit from it.”
