Tecnomar Yachts held the keel laying ceremony of the new motor yacht IMPERO 40-metre at the Tecnomar Shipyard last Wednesday, where a “good luck” coin was placed into the keel to invoke good fortune during the construction and throughout its future years at sea.
The IMPERO 40 motor yacht, designed by Luca Dini in cooperation with the Shipyard Style Centre, is a new semi-displacement yacht to be built in aluminum tath will be delivered to her Owner in 2013.
The Owner with his family and Tecnomar President Mr. Giovanni Costantino attended the ceremony.
“This ceremony represents an important step forward in the company growth process started on 2009” says Giovanni Costantino.
“We are the only shipyard which implemented and completed a massive reorganization and industrialization plan in just two years. Our fleet today is made up of 21 new models and recently 4 important sales have been finalized: this 40-metre yacht, a 45-metre IMPERO yacht, a 33-metre REGALE yacht and the first sailing yacht named Silent 76 TECNOSAIL”.
The IMPERO superyacht line marks a new concept where space, comfort, natural light and safety are perfectly combined with state-of-art design, performance and new technologies for environmental protection.
Powered by twin 2 MTU 16V 2000 M94 engines of 1,920 HP each, the IMPERO 40 yacht is expected to reach a maximum speed of 19 knots and a cruising speed of 17 knots.
As all Tecnomar yachts, the IMPERO 40 yacht will have the “RINA Green Plus” certification which is the latest class notation based on the best environmental performance index.
