SY Zero almost ready to launch
Today marks a significant milestone for the SY Zero project —
the 69-metre, zero-emissions yacht — as she emerges from the
construction hall at Vitters Shipyard on her way to enter the water
for the first time.
After seven years of dedication, passion, and engineering
excellence from the project's core partners — Vripack, Vitters
Shipyard and Dykstra Naval Architects — and supported by a vast
network of technical collaborators, we are one step closer to
realizing a yacht that operates entirely on harvested renewable
energy. The vessel is currently awaiting transfer by barge from
Zwartsluis to Harlingen, where she will be launched into the water.
Her Panamax-height masts, built by Carbo-Link at their German
facility, will be stepped on the vessel in the coming days.
We invite you to follow her journey to Harlingen and into the
next phase: an extensive sea trial program where her innovative
systems will be tested, refined, and validated.
