One of the world’s largest superyachts just hit the water.
Lürssen’s mighty new 525-footer, christened Blue , left the Bremen yard in Germany on Saturday, July 2, after successfully completing her sea trials in late June. The behemoth is now the fifth-longest superyacht in the global fleet and one of the biggest in the world in terms of volume. In fact, she offers a giant interior of 14,785 GT.

Size isn’t the only thing that matters, though. The shipyard says Blue was designed to be as efficient and eco-friendly as possible. She is equipped with a diesel-electric hybrid propulsion system that was developed in-house. In addition, the behemoth vessel is fitted with a high-tech exhaust system that reduces noise, vibrations and emissions, according to the yard. She also sports an innovative wastewater treatment plant that allows treated wastewater to be safely disposed of in “drinking water quality.”

The team from Terence Disdale Design worked with Lürssen to create the yacht’s sleek, contemporary exterior and traditional interior. You can, of course, expect a laundry list of amenities, including not one but two helipads and a huge swim platform aft that connects to a beach club. Lürssen did not share any details regarding Blue ‘s exact layout, but there will no doubt be cabins and lounges aplenty.
“We are very proud of Blue as yet another statement of Lürssen’s ability and desire to build yachts that meet all of our exacting owners’ requirements, guided by our core focus of expert engineering, beautiful design and being a proud market leader in developing sustainable technologies,” managing partner Peter Lürssen said in a statement .

Of course, Lürssen has proven itself adept at delivering sizable superyachts. In fact, the German yard is responsible for 13 out of the 25 top builds in the industry. That includes the world’s longest superyacht, Azzam , which measures just shy of 593 feet and offers a volume of 13,136 GT.
Blue is now en route to the Mediterranean where she will enjoy her very first season with her new owners.

The 160-metre yacht BLUE has been given a contemporary exterior and a traditional, fresh interior design, both by Terence Disdale Design. Efficiency and the desire to be as environmentally friendly as possible were key drivers for the technology on board. BLUE is equipped with a highly efficient Diesel-Electric Hybrid Propulsion Concept developed by Lürssen’s own engineering specialists. The yacht also has an electric Azimuth Pod Drive, which in electric mode can be used separately, or when the PTI units are engaged, with the two propeller shafts. In order to generate less noise and vibration and reduce nitrogen oxide levels, BLUE is completed with a state-of-the-art exhaust after-treatment system. Furthermore, the wastewater treatment plant is equipped with new membrane technology that allows the treated wastewater to be safely disposed of in ‘drinking water quality’.

Blue: 160m Lürssen superyacht delivered
Related articles, superyacht directory.
Formerly known as Project Blue, the 160 metre superyacht has been delivered as Blue . She left the Lürssen facilities on Saturday and is currently on her maiden voyage to Malta.
First launched in February 2022, the yacht is now the fifth largest yacht in the world in terms of LOA.
Terence Disdale has designed both the interior and exterior of the 15,320 GT superyacht, making full use of the yacht's 22.5 metre beam and generous decks.
In a statement, the yard has said that an enhanced environmental focus was a key driver behind the build of Blue . The yacht is one of the largest in the world to be equipped with diesel-electric power hybrid propulsion and she features PTI/PTO units that can be used for either electric propulsion (slow speeds) or for generating electrical energy to operate the vessel at higher speeds.
Blue also features an innovative after-treatment system and a wastewater treatment plan which is equipped with new membrane technology. This allows treated wastewater to be safely disposed of in "drinking water quality", according to the yard.
“To execute such a comprehensive project, an excellent team is necessary,” said Lürssen managing partner, Peter Lürssen. “We are very proud of Blue as yet another statement of Lürssen’s ability and desire to build yachts that meet all of our exacting owners’ requirements, guided by our core focus of expert engineering, beautiful design and being a proud market leader in developing sustainable technologies.”
In terms of features, the yacht has a pair of helicopter landing sites; a large helideck at the bow and a smaller helipad aft. Each of the four upper decks features a large al fresco entertaining area and there is a swimming platform connected to a beach club, plus forward stateroom balconies on either side.

Lürssen’s 525-foot Superyacht Blue Sets Sail
The gigantic vessel has been designed with sustainability in mind.
By Irenie Forshaw
Lürssen’s sparkling new superyacht, Blue, left the shipyard in Bremen on Saturday, setting sail on her maiden voyage to Malta . Spanning 524.9 ft and weighing in at 15,320 gross tonnes, the gigantic vessel now holds the title of the fifth largest yacht in the world.
But it’s not just size that sets Blue apart in the competitive superyacht sector. The delivery of the ship marks an exciting milestone for the German shipbuilder in its quest to pave the way to a more sustainable future for yachting.
As her name would suggest, Blue has been thoughtfully designed to minimize her impact on the oceans. Lürssen worked with the new owner’s technical project management team for the project, as well as the design team from Terence Disdale , who are the brains behind both the sleek exterior and luxurious interiors.
The new superyacht is fitted with a groundbreaking diesel-electric hybrid propulsion system. Developed by Lürssen’s in-house engineering experts, the new technology comprises twin diesel engines that drive two controllable pitch propellers through individual gearboxes.

PTI/PTO units fitted to the gearboxes can be used either for electric propulsion to travel at slower speeds, or for generating electrical energy when the vessel picks up pace. As well as this innovative technology, Blue is fitted with an electric Azimuth Pod Drive, which in electric mode can be used separately, or when the PTI units are engaged, with the two propeller shafts.
These are not token efforts at going green. Rather, Lürssen has spent several years on the project in the hope of inspiring other shipbuilders to create more eco-friendly vessels.

Of course, comfort is also at the heart of the design , and Blue features an exhaust after-treatment system to reduce noise levels and nitrogen oxide emissions. Additionally, the onboard wastewater treatment plant is equipped with new membrane technology that allows treated wastewater to be safely disposed of at what Lürssen describes as ‘drinking water quality.’
All the features you would expect from the planet’s fifth- largest superyacht are present including a pair of helicopter landing sites, a spacious al fresco dining terrace and a swimming platform connected to a beach club. Besides this, very little information about the new vessel is available and images of the interiors have been kept strictly under wraps.

“To execute such a comprehensive project, an excellent team is necessary,” said the shipbuilder’s managing partner, Peter Lürssen. “We are very proud of Blue as yet another statement of Lürssen’s ability and desire to build yachts that meet all of our exacting owner’s requirements, guided by our core focus of expert engineering, beautiful design and being a proud market leader in developing sustainable technologies.”
Lürssen’s Project Blue is only the latest example of its efforts to champion sustainability. At the Monaco Yacht Show last year, the shipyard unveiled Alice : a climate-neutral yacht concept that replaced conventional diesel generators with emission-free fuel cells which generate electrical energy based on hydrogen reformed from green methanol.
While Alice was just an idea, the concept served as an important tool to spark conversations within the yachting industry around how to move toward a greener future. Lürssen is also currently in the process of building its first yacht with fuel cell technology (due for delivery in 2025) which will make it possible to anchor emission-free for 15 days or cruise 1,000 miles at slow speed. Alongside these projects, the German shipbuilder set up an innovation lab to test the installation of a marine hybrid fuel cell system on board a yacht.
Pioneering cleaner energy technologies isn’t the only way Lürssen is striving to reduce its environmental impact. The shipyard also works closely with the Blue Marine Foundation – an organization dedicated to putting at least 30% of the world’s oceans under protection by 2030 while restoring precious marine habitats and tackling unsustainable fishing practices.
In fact, Peter Lürssen personally paid for the operating costs of the Blue Marine Foundation for five years, on top of donating $2.3m to fund a project to create a marine protection area around Ascension Island in the South Atlantic Ocean.

Luxury yacht BLUE left the Bremen shipyard on the 2nd of July on her maiden voyage. In completing her delivery, she has become the fifth largest yacht in the world, displacing 156m/511.9ft DILBAR , launched in 2016 and also from Lurssen . 2006 162m/531.5ft mega-yacht DUBAI keeps her place in spot four.

The onboard technology is designed for efficiency and to have an as little environmental impact as possible. The engineering specialists at Lurssen produced the highly efficient Diesel-Electric hybrid propulsion concept, which combines Diesel propulsion technology with electric propulsion systems. The two Diesel engines drive two controllable pitch propellers through individual gearboxes, which are equipped with PTI/PTO units which at low speeds can be used for electric propulsion, or for electrical energy generation at higher speeds. An electric Azimuth Pod Drive can be used simultaneously when the PTI units are engaged, or separately in electric mode.

To aid in reducing noise, vibration and exhaust nitrogen oxide levels, BLUE is fitted with a cutting-edge exhaust after-treatment system. Elsewhere on board, the wastewater treatment system is just as state-of-the-art, using new membrane technology where treated wastewater reaches ‘drinking water quality before it is discharged.

Lurssen Launches Project Blue: The Largest Superyacht of the Year
By Emily Dawkins
The largest superyacht of 2022, Lurssen’s 160m Project Blue, has hit the water in Germany.
Due to be delivered in 2023, 160m Project Blue was launched at Lurssen's Bremen shipyard in the early hours of this morning. Originally planned to have hit the water late last week, her launch was delayed due to poor weather conditions during Storm Eunice.
As one of the largest superyachts in the world, Project Blue's launch is certainly set to stun the superyacht industry and shake up the global rankings (defined by size). After her launch, Project Blue now takes the fifth position in the Top 100, pushing another of Lurssen's large yachts, 156m Dilbar, into sixth.
Following the world's largest superyacht, 180.6m Azzam, delivered in 2013 by Lurssen, Project Blue will become the second-largest Lurssen-built superyacht. The German-based shipyard has only further proved its worthy reputation as a leading yacht builder, producing some of the yachting world’s biggest and most recognisable vessels, and now adding Project Blue to their impressive fleet.
With very little known about the new build and her construction process, Project Blue is one of the most secretive, yet exciting superyacht projects currently underway. We would like to wish Lurssen every success for the next stages of Project Blue's construction and we are certainly looking forward to her future updates.
Project Blue is a custom motor yacht with a 21m beam, her other specifications are currently unknown.

You awake in one of two master suites, one on the upper deck with 180 degree views forward and the other on the main deck. Head for the upper deck aft for a delicious breakfast before settling in the sun lounge aft to discuss the day's plans with the captain. If the morning heat is too intense, start the day in the air conditioned main saloon at the formal dining table and make plans in the lounge opposite.
After breakfast, the children race eagerly down to the portside swim platform where the deck crew has prepared all the watertoys for a morning adrenaline rush. Other guests may choose to work out in the gym, or for an easier start to the day, head for the sauna and hammam where there is a massage table too.
In the afternoon, while the captain sails you to the next amazing destination, enjoy a movie in the main deck cinema lounge or catch up on some emails in the private owner's office on the bridge deck.
As dusk falls in your new anchorage, take in the spectacular sunset with a sundowner in the foredeck lounge and toast another amazing day before sampling the chef's gastronomic extravaganza on the upper deck aft.
