Superyachts Al Mirqab 0002

Engineers on the propellors of Al Mirqab, a 95-meter motor yacht with three ten thousand horse power engines. This yacht was one of three yachts ordered at the same time by a Saudi family - the other two yachts were 80 meters long. This yacht built by Oceanco out of Alblasserdam, Holland was initially designed to travel at 23 knots but the owner wanted an additional three knots so a third engine was added. At top speed the yacht now consumes 100,000 liters of fuel per day. Less than 48 hours before the owner took delivery, the starboard engine blew up.
