NOTE to U.S. Customs & Border Protection

NOTE TO U.S. CUSTOMS & BORDER PROTECTION

Due to the international and fluid nature of the yachting business and the fact there is no global central industry listing service to which all charter yachts subscribe it is impossible to ascertain a truly up-to-date view of the market. We are a news and information service and not always informed when yachts leave the charter market, or when they are recently sold and renamed it is not clear if they are still for charter. Whilst we use our best endeavors to maintain accurate information, the existence of a listing on this website should in no way supersede official documentation supplied by representatives of a yacht.

(built as Northern Star)

Shaped with the idea of extended voyages in both northern and southern hemispheres, Polar Star requires fewer stops in ports than comparable vessels. With her ICE class, she can operate in much colder climates than the usual, popular cruising areas and explore the vast reaches of even the poles. Espen Øino International designed the 63-meter yacht along traditional lines, with engineering to exacting technical standards when delivered in 2005. Her original interior design by Pauline Nunns reflected a rustic, country-house style with the ambience of a traditional motor yacht ambience. Large open areas for entertainment and relaxation feature hand-painted murals and antiques. She underwent an extensive interior refit in 2017 to create a more modern, oceanic environment.

Aft of this is another cabinet perfect for larger buffets. The aft area of the deck is not covered; however, it is equipped with 2 awnings providing plenty of shade. There is further seating aft as well as a coffee table both port and starboard. There are two recessed skylights on each side, letting in natural daylight to the covered areas. In addition to this, there are doors forward to allow guests to shut off the side decks in order to reduce wind, which can be further reduced by sliding the side glass windows. This space can also be cooled using the water mist system installed over the dinning and bar, making this deck a true “indoor/outdoor area”.

A generous passageway gives access to the guest suites, all of which benefit from large windows, iPod docks, iPad controls and safes.

Cabin 4 is forward to starboard with a king bed, leather drawers and desk with vanity. There is good closet space and a 40-inch TV mounted forward. The bathroom is forward with bathtub, WC and basin, and the floor and countertops are finished in polished marble.

Cabin 2 is adjacent on the port side fully furnished as a children cabin with 2 sets of bunks sleeping 4. This Vcabin allows for plenty of natural daylight and has a 40-inch TV for guest entertainment mounted inboard. Once again, there is plenty of closet space. The en-suite is forward and features a large walk-in cubicle shower, WC and sink. Both the flooring and countertops are finished in polished marble.

Cabin 3 is just aft to starboard and boasts a king bed, forward of which is a desk with leather inlay. There is ample hanging space and once again, this cabin is flooded with daylight. The 40-inch TV is mounted on the forward bulkhead. The en-suite bathroom has a shower, WC and sink, and both the flooring and countertops are in polished marble.

Cabin 1 is adjacent on the port side and boasts a king bed, forward of which is a dresser and desk with leather inlay. There is ample hanging space in a double wardrobe and once again, this cabin is flooded with daylight. The 40- inch TV is mounted on the forward bulkhead. The en-suite bathroom has a shower, WC and sink, and both the flooring and countertops are in polished marble.

Forward of the guest suite is the passageway with a discreet door leading into the crew staircase. Just aft of this is the main guest staircase that leads all the way up to the Owner’s deck, bridge deck and sundeck.

Aft of the guest passageway leads into the Main Salon. To starboard is a cozy seating area with a Hi-Lo 64-inch TV built into a cabinet. In the forward starboard corner of the salon area is a doorway that leads into the Spa, Massage Room. This room with soft furnishings is equipped with an Oak works massage table, for optimum comfort and relaxation. With a fully fitted bathroom with stall shower, WC and sink, all finished in rich polished marble, making this a calming space for guest to retreat in.

On the port side of the main salon is the Bar area with a large onyx bar with 5 bar stools for evening cocktails or casual dinner. Large storage cabinets located aft for all glassware and table services. Forward of the bar area is a discreet door that leads into the main deck pantry, which also has direct access to the crew stairway. This pantry is fully equipped with a sink, microwave, fridge and ice maker, with great countertop space to ensure efficient service.

Aft doors from the salon lead out to the aft deck area. To both sides, the staircases lead up to the upper dining deck. In the alcove is a discreet day head. Both port and starboard sides have a gate installed that can be opened and fitted with the Marquip side boarding ladder. A central passageway leads to the lower aft deck, which is fitted out with large guest seating areas to port and starboard that both have coffee tables and is an ideal area to have sundowners close to the water. The central stairs lead down to the large bathing platform, giving easy access to the water and indeed to and from the tenders. A transom door leads into a beach club area with shower and sauna for guests to enjoy. The water sports equipment is also stored in here.

There is a large hydraulic boarding gangway on the aft port quarter, which can service both portside-to or stern-to berthing.

Motor Yacht

The 63.4m Lürssen Polar Star will impress anyone who steps onboard: her charming restyled interior décor and redesigned layout are destined to stand the test of time. She combines to perfection outstanding ocean-going abilities with the interior beauty of classic shapes, light colors and materials worthy of a luxury superyacht.

Refitting is one of the most interesting sides of our work: reinterpreting the style of a boat is exciting yet challenging. We believe in harmony between a person and their home or, in this case, superyacht. It is no secret that sometimes this harmony is lost, possibly due to dated interiors or because of the changing lifestyle and taste of the Owner. This is what happened with MY Polar Star. We accepted the challenge to recreate the unique shape of this 63-meter yacht.

The Polar Star was built by Lürssen in 2005 and the exteriors were designed by Espen Oeino, who incorporated the traditional style of an explorer vessel into the strong, sleek lines of a modern yacht. Master Yachts managed and organized the work.

Years later, this vessel underwent a comprehensive refit by FM Architettura d’Interni from January to July 2016. Our team was responsible for both the exterior furniture and interior design.

Quick Enquiry

"I once had a client who told me, “I will put your name on the side of my boat if it’s good, but if the boat is not good, your name will appear three times as big.” We were brought up with the sense that it is a very personal obligation for the family when we sign a contract to deliver a yacht that the client expects. I cannot go to a client and say “One of my guys made a mistake.” He would say “Is he Mr. Lürssen, or are you Mr. Lürssen?” But a successful delivery is also a great reward. I take the relationships of my clients very personally." - Peter Lürssen of Lürssen Yachts (courtesy SuperYachtTimes)

Brevoort Island is an uninhabited island just east of Baffin Island, close to the Arctic Circle. It is about 46 kilometres long and between five and seven kilometres wide.

It is the site of BAF-3, one of the earliest installations of the North Warning System (NWS), an early-warning air defence system that replaced the earlier Distance Early Warning Line in the late 1980s. The site consists of a radar tower, communications facility and a small storage building.

The company did not provide details of the attack, nor did it release the name of the individual who was killed.

“Our thoughts and prayers are with the family, friends, and colleagues affected by this loss,” the company said in its release. “Nasittuq Corporation is providing support to the family of the deceased during this difficult time. Additionally, we are offering counseling services to all employees affected by this.”

It added: “The safety and well-being of our employees is our highest priority, and we are deeply committed to ensuring a safe working environment. We are working closely with local authorities and regulatory agencies to conduct a thorough investigation into the circumstances surrounding this incident.”

The Nasittuq web site notes that the NWS, which comprises 47 radar sites, detects aircraft and cruise missiles flying and spans over 5,000 kilometres across Canada’s North.

Nasittuq was awarded the contract to operate the NWS in 2001. In 2021, it re-organized its corporate structure to become an Inuit-controlled corporation registered as an Inuit Firm on the Nunavut Inuit Firm Registry.

Polar bear attacks are very rare. The last fatalities in North America were in 2023, when a woman and her year-old son were killed in the remote town of Wales, Alaska, by a bear that chased several other residents before being shot and killed. Prior to that, there were two fatal attacks in 2018, at Lyon Inlet and on Sentry Island, both in Nunavut.

China has expanded its presence in Antarctica with its new Qinling base. Should Australia be worried?

Topic: World Politics

Late last year a curious video aired on Chinese television.

It showed a speck of concrete and steel, surrounded by frozen tundra, perched on the rocky coast of Inexpressible Island in the icy Ross Sea, deep inside Antarctica's Southern Ocean.

The video zoomed in to reveal a state-of-the-art building that almost looked like an ice-bound resort, replete with ocean views and Scandi-style timber furniture. Outside, temperatures sat well below minus 40 degrees Celsius while insulated heating systems kept the chill at bay.

The building can accommodate around 80 residents, year round. One of them, Zhun He, noted how small the rooms are.

"This is our summer dormitory. Which is relatively compact," he says dryly, in the online video.

As he speaks, the sound of patriotic music can be heard in the background. It is a giveaway that all is not as at first, it seems.

This is not a fancy Antarctic resort. This is Qinling Station. It is China's fifth Antarctic base, and the third capable of operating 12 months a year.

China's new 'treasure house of resources'

Wang Wenbin, from the People's Republic of China's ministry of foreign affairs, told a press conference in February that China's new station "will help … promote peace and sustainable development in Antarctica".

Yet with permanent sea, air and land capabilities, enabling China to potentially monitor Australian and New Zealand communications using the BeiDou navigation network , Qinling Station appears to be more than that .

Not only is Qingling's Antarctic location highly strategic — the frontier to Australia's back door and right next door to a permanent US station, McMurdo – but a 2009 book-length study by the Polar Research Institute of China (PRIC) described the Antarctic as a "global treasure house of resources".

China – which has rushed to invest in Antarctica since the 1980s in an effort to catch up with the West — is keenly aware of Antarctica's importance, as not just an area rich with fish, but also energy.

Qinling Station has access to potentially hundreds of billions of tonnes of natural gas and oil that is believed to lie beneath Antarctica and the Southern Ocean. And it has capacity to become a cornerstone of what many argue is Beijing's increasingly strategic plan to become the world's premier polar power.

Antarctic waters also host hundreds of shipping sea lanes, according to 2018 research by the University of Cambridge , further underscoring why influence in Antarctica is so closely tied to projecting global power.

"There is an increasing number of research stations in Antarctica. On one hand that's a positive development, because it shows an increasing interest in Antarctic science. And nations that want to be involved in Antarctic matters," says Shirley Scott, a professor of international law and international relations at UNSW's Australian Defence Force Academy.

On the other hand, Scott says, China has been transparent in stating that it does not want its activities restricted, particularly its resource related activities in the Antarctic region.

"It has, for example, not been keen on the development of new protected marine areas," she says.

Australia is concerned

There is already evidence that China has been sending more than just scientists to Antarctica and Australia's intelligence community is growing concerned.

A source inside the Australian Signals Directorate (ASD) noted China's Antarctic bases can serve as platforms for powerful satellites and radar systems.

Australian intelligence agencies are aware that China's People's Liberation Army (PLA) personnel have previously participated in Beijing's Antarctic program without their presence being reported.

This is a breach of the Antarctic Treaty , a groundbreaking legal agreement set up in 1959 that formalised the demilitarisation of the continent, splitting it into different zones and establishing the terms under which nations can operate in Antarctica.

The Antarctic Treaty was originally signed by 12 countries whose scientists had been active in the region in 1957 and 1958. It came into force in 1961 and now has 57 signatory nations, including China.

But is China operating in the spirit of the Treaty?

In 2008, six PLA personnel were sent to Zhongshan Station to build a high-frequency radar station.

These radar stations are powerful enough to block US satellites that pass over southern polar areas.

In 2013, China's Antarctic expedition included a PLA satellite expert who installed new BeiDou-2 GPS systems that utilise advanced global positioning system technology.

Scott says that while the Antarctic Treaty system has been a robust mechanism guaranteeing peace, and Antarctica's demilitarisation, since it was established, a rush on resources by any major country could undermine its purpose.

"Antarctica is currently governed by the Antarctic Treaty system but underpinning that system is an agreement to disagree regarding sovereignty claims on the continent," she says.

China is not alone

However China is not the only country interested in the resources Antarctica has to offer.

"It would be unhelpful to think that it was only China interested in accessing those resources," Scott says.

Global powers have long tussled over dominance in Antarctica.

Within a decade of the end of World War II, the United States and what was then the USSR were casting their eyes towards control of the Antarctic continent.

It was a goal that the British already knew would not be easy.

Shortly after this photo was taken, of British explorer Robert Scott's 1912 expedition to the South Pole, everyone in it was dead.

Scott and his team were attempting to match Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen whose party of five became the first to reach the South Pole the previous year, on December 14, 1911.

The deaths of Scott and his team highlighted the dangers of Imperial competition in the name of science, and warned of a deadly side to the peaceful continent.

By 1945, a new era of competition between the USSR and its ideological enemy, the United States, had begun, according to historian Richard Overy in his book Blood and Ruins.

Declassified US documents dated to the mid-1950s are critical to understanding how the West,s approach to Antarctica changed.

As far back as 1957, the US considered Antarctica a potential future battleground. Simply titled 'Operations plan for Antarctica', this document revealed secret plans by the US to beef up permanent scientific bases on the icy continent.

The strategy was to ease access for the US and its allies to Antarctica's natural resources and the bases were considered "essential in terms of the United States national interests".

"Access by the United States with friendly powers to the natural resources of the Antarctic." Permanent US scientific based were there "lest US rights in Antarctica be diminished by the year-round presence of other nations". 

The US government invested heavily in the region. 

The CIA conducted extensive, detailed military geography studies that investigated oceanography, tides, water levels, coastal geography and even an investigation of human survival in Antarctic waters. The work was published in a 133-page CIA study .

It would seem the ground was set for a new phase of nation-state competition in Antarctica.

The 1959 Antarctic Treaty attempted to smooth all that by enshrining Antarctica could be used only for peaceful purposes, freedom of scientific investigation would be maintained and any scientific observations and results would be freely exchanged.

These articles have successfully prevented competition in the Antarctic from spilling into conflict, and have maintained peace on the Antarctic continent even at the height of the Cold War from 1945 to 1991.

'A free-for-all jungle'

Yet, global tensions have never left the frozen continent.

Since 2000 the US (and its allies) as well as China have emerged as the globe's grand strategic competitors, with tensions in Taiwan and the South China Sea causing concern.

Dr Phillip Law, a former director of the Australian Antarctic Division, had warned since the 1970s that Antarctica could become a flashpoint.

Law argued that if countries don't stick to the rules in Antarctica "it will be a free-for-all jungle".

"The big boys with the biggest resources, and the most capital, will just go down there and go for their lives," he said.

China's Polar Research Institute (PRIC) as well as the Ministry of Foreign Affairs were approached as part of this story. Neither responded to requests for comment.
