LATEST MODEL OF BENETTI’S

DISPLACEMENT CLASS UNVEILED

ITALIAN SHIPBUILDER BENETTI has unveiled the newest model of

its Displacement Class range: the 35.5 m Benetti Mediterraneo 116’.

Th e main deck promptly shows the fi rst example of the Copernican

revolution in design and layout brought to us by the Benetti

Mediterraneo 116’. Th e six-metre-wide cockpit is quite spacious and

allows a panoramic view of the sea right forward with intelligent use of

ergonomic spaces.

Th e Mediterreaneo features two-metre-wide crystal doors that lead

to the main saloon, which provides a dining area with a table for 12

guests. Two French windows give access to the exterior walkway that,

thanks to its width, can also be used as a balcony.

In keeping with Benetti standards, the lower deck of the new

Benetti has a classic layout: four twin cabins (the two aft ermost are

VIP cabins) and two twin cabins with identical berths, each with an

en-suite bathroom.

Benetti has optimised natural illumination and dedicated every

possible inch of space for comfort. Each cabin has 1.6 m windows, 70

cm from the deck, giving guests an exceptional sea-level view.

DIVERSE PROJECTS INTRODUCES

SUPPORT VESSEL CONCEPT

THE NEW ZEALAND COMPANY Diverse Projects has unveiled

the support vessel concept Atlas, created to combine all common

requirements into one, purpose-built vessel.

Atlas has been designed based on Diverse Projects’ experience of

what owners most commonly ask to be added – or removed – from

support vessels. With a hull designed for ultimate steadiness, it has

multiple loading stabilities and is designed to come in under 500GT.

Th e Atlas package off ers an effi cient, stable, DP1, high-load carrier

with package options to add on modules like heli-decks, large A-frame,

tender ramp, submarine garage, media/ science containers and other

extras oft en required for support vessels. Having been designed

specifi cally for purpose, Atlas will be a very effi cient high-load carrier of

both liquid and deck cargo platforms.

Th e vessel is fully customisable according to owner requirements

with additional elements that can be added to ensure it fully fi ts the

owner and mother ship’s needs.

“It’s a transformer,” says Diverse Projects’ Lars Bjorklund. “A

purpose-built base boat, stripped down to basics allowing the owner to

add the elements needed, to create the most cost-eff ective, high-yielding

Performance is guaranteed by two Man V-12-1400 engines

developing 1,400 hp each, giving the 116’ a top speed of 15 knots. At 10

knots, project studies give the Mediterraneano 116’ a cruising range of

3,000 nautical miles.
