HEBO and Mammoet with Royal Huisman Project 405, Nilaya – Gallery
This highly anticipated superyacht, the first to utilize Royal Huisman’s new Featherlight™ design and production method, can hardly qualify as a heavylift transport or lift, but nevertheless it is one that demanded all the care and attention that Mammoet and HEBO could provide.
This 46.8m long ‘high-performance yacht’ was built in Vollenhove. It was then transported by HEBO to Zaandam and launched there under the guidance of team HEBO with the assistance of Mammoet.
The photographs of the lifting and the transport of Royal Huisman Project 405, Nilaya, taken by Tom van Oossanen, Guy Fleury and Charles van Rooij provide an excellent record from the start of this operation in Villenhove until its completion with the launch in Zaandam.
