A German company called Lürssen, which specializes in the production of luxury and luxury yachts launched the world's largest mega yacht in 2013, calling it Azzam.

This yacht is the largest charter motor vessel.

Besides the fact that the Azzam class model is the largest vessel in the whole world, even larger than the yacht of Roman Abramovich himself, she is also one of the fastest in her class.

Its size is amazing. Just imagine: 180 meters is two football fields or 12 railway wagons. At the same time, Azzam can easily accelerate to a maximum speed of 30 knots (55 km/h). This is assisted by two gas turbines with a total capacity of 94,000 hp, four water jets and a Wärtsilä-Sulzer RTA96-C turbocharged diesel engine with a capacity of 108,920 hp. (80,088 kW).

It is the largest engine in the world: its length is 27.1 m, its height is 13.4 m, and it weighs over 2,300 tons. Originally designed for container ships, it is ideal for a 180-meter mega-yacht. There is no doubt that with such dimensions, there is enough space left on board the mega-yacht to realize any fantasies of the customer. Even her main salon has no analogues in the world: length - 29 m, width 18 m.

To service a ship of such impressive size, five hundred crew members are needed. About one million fuel can be poured into the tank of a yacht of this class, which allows its owner and guests to travel the world all year round without entering the port to refuel the vessel. One of the advantages of an azzam class yacht is that she can easily navigate through shallow water at very high speeds.

The interior decoration was designed by a popular and talented French designer, whose name is Christophe Leoni. The famous designer in his work adhered to the Empire style.

Detailed information about the ship's interior this moment no, but it is known from reliable sources that the area of ​​​​the largest azzam salon is thirty by twenty meters, this salon does not contain pillars that divide the interior space. It is also known that the length of the open terrace is over eighteen meters.

The interior of the yacht, Christophe Leoni designed in a magnificent imperial, expensive and luxurious style. Most of the furniture, which is harmoniously placed on the ship, is antique, made from valuable and expensive woods.

Partially antique furniture is painted with gold and decorated with jewelry stones. It is said that a yacht of this class has a submarine on board, as well as a helicopter.

The designers reported that this vessel is the most complex and lengthy project of the company. Mubarak Saad al Ahbabi is the lead engineer who built the superyacht.

The customer and current owner of the Azzam yacht is Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the United Arab Emirates and Emir of Abu Dhabi, whose fortune is estimated by Forbes at $15 billion. The construction of the vessel was preceded by a design competition, in which the exterior from the Milanese studio Nauta Yacht Design and the interior from the French designer Christophe Leoni won. The technical management of the building was carried out by Burgess Yachts. The chief engineer was Mubarak Saad al Ahbabi.

There was a version that this is the owner of the yacht.

Nauta Yachts is an Italian company that designed the Azzam class vessel, and the German company Lurssen, which is located in the city of Bremen, was directly involved in the construction of this magnificent and majestic mega yacht.

Photo 10.

It is known that the style in which the interiors of Azzam are decorated is close to the neoclassicism of the early 19th century, the time of the reign of Napoleon Bonaparte. In the absence of photographs from the board of the mega-yacht - no one has yet been able to obtain them, even reputable international yachting publications - one can imagine something reminiscent of the imperial bedrooms at Versailles.

Photo 11.

Azzam is registered as a charter yacht, but there is no open information about the possibility and cost of her charter anywhere. It is extremely rare to find a yacht in the Arabian Sea, even less often in the Mediterranean. In May 2015, eyewitnesses managed to see her passing Gibraltar. Currently – and most of the year – Azzam is moored at Khalifa Port in Abu Dhabi.
