“This is a very interesting project for us which we foresee will provide a platform that can be adapted to meet the needs of other superyacht owners,” comments Alia CEO Gökhan Çelik. “The principal challenge is that it has to be very fast but also versatile and efficient. I’m particularly proud because the owner decided to build with us after visiting the shipyard and seeing the quality work we do.”
