Newthex expands engineering capacity

The ongoing increase of projects at Newthex created the need for more engineering talent. The answer came from abroad which led to a collaboration with an engineering company from Ukraine.

 

“By teaming up we can reduce the lead time and shorten the delivery time of projects by having more engineering capacity .” says head of engineering department Martin Luth. This allows Newthex to serve it’s clients better and faster if needed.

This first traineeship will enable the naval engineers to pass on the knowledge to their fellow engineers in Ukraine which also will be working on future Newthex projects together with the Dutch engineers based in Sappemeer. To further enhance and share knowledge more traineeships will take place.

Benetti launches biggest ever with mega doors by Newthex

Last Tuesday Benetti has successfully launched the FB277. This 107-metre-long motor yacht is the biggest ever built by a private shipyard in Italy. For this giga yacht Newthex delivered quite an epic double sliding door on the stern of the vessel which grants access to the spacious beach club.

 

What makes this door epic is the staggering size of the clear opening which is a whopping 2,3 by 5 metres and despite this size the double watertight sliding door is fully classified as hull door by Lloyd’s. This keeps the ship safe and secure and when opened it creates a unique space which delivers new levels of utility and pleasure for the ship owners and guests.
