Written by Mike Smith

The first Superyacht to be designed by Andrew Winch Designs, sailing yacht Cyclos III was delivered in 1990, to the same owner who sails her today.

Ground breaking in design, yacht Cyclos III pushed all boundaries and paved the way for the interior design of future Superyachts. Since her delivery, 21 years ago, she continues to sail extensively and is regularly seen competing in regattas, such as the St. Barts Bucket. Her precise design and quality of build are a testament to her success.

The first Superyacht to be designed by Andrew Winch Designs Cyclos III was delivered in 1990

Working closely with the Client, the interior design of sailing yacht Cyclos III encapsulates the owner’s primary desire for functional space within a visually spectacular structure. The result is a timeless, contemporary interior providing privacy, accompanied by all of the luxury one would expect from a yacht of her size and quality. Each space is clearly defined by its function and a subtle use of lighting.

yacht Cyclos III

A first of its kind, the brief for the interior requested that no wood be visible at all! Her interior, therefore, is adorned in high gloss white, which has stood the test of time and continues to sparkle and reflect the light through the deckhouse windows. An innovative attention to the smallest detail has resulted in an ageless interior. From the free standing furniture to the stainless steel and custom designed thick grained black leather detailing.

Created in a style which might suit an owner who needs every facility but where superfluous and extravagant details are spurned in favour of taste and simplicity. Every interior element responds to a particular need – from running a global business with state of the art communication systems, to enjoying a family holiday in any ocean whatever the weather!

Dutch masterpieces - 8 Royal Huisman yachts for sale

The Huisman family's shipbuilding tradition dates back to 1884 when Jan Jans Huisman obtained official recognition as a shipwright and set up his yard at Ronduite in Holland. Between 1910 and 1940 over 500 vessels were launched, including around 50 fishing boats and 100 or so small pleasure sail boats, along with several motor cruisers.

His son, the legendary Wolter Huisman (1931-2004) joined the company at the age of 13. He had some ambitious ideas, which he honed during his years serving in the Dutch navy. One of Wolter's innovations was the introduction of construction in welded aluminium, with the later adoption of a special alloy called Alustar . In 1969 the yard moved to its current location at Vollenhove, on the banks of a canal where vessels with a draught of up to 3 metres could be launched. Running Tide , the first yacht built at Vollenhove, raced brilliantly until 1983. She returned to competition in 2004 as a vintage yacht, achieving equal success in many vintage regattas, winning the Malta-Syracuse 2004 and coming second in the Voiles du Vieux Port in Marseilles in 2009.

The yard has always called on the best designers and skippers, drawing on talent from around the world and the company's roster of clients has always included celebrity names like conductor Herbert von Karajan, who sailed in many races aboard He lisara, a nd the Rothschilds' 26 metre Gi tana VI. The early 1960s saw the launch of Huisman's subsidiary Rondal, a combination of 'Ronduite', the place where it began its operations, and 'aluminium'. In 1984 Queen Beatrice of the Netherlands granted Huisman the right to use the description 'Royal', reserved for companies that are especially important to the country.

Today, following launches of spectacular yachts like Athena and Twizzle , Royal Huisman occupies a special place among builders of sailing yachts, analogous to that of Feadship in the field of motor yacht builders.

Here we present eight very special yachts for sale from one of the world's premier yards.

Athena 2004 90m $95 million

At 90m and the fourth largest sailing yacht in the world, Athena represents four years of teamwork, combining the unique talents of Pieter Beeldsnijder for exterior and interior design with the naval architectural skills of Dykstra Naval Architcts . With these two talented legends and the shipyards' own group of dedicated craftspeople a 'dream team' was created and Athena will undoubtedly become part of yachting history.

For the interior Beeldsnijder selected a lightly stained mahogany to enrich an air of classic comfort. Appreciating that her sheer size could be overwhelming, Beeldsnijder cleverly divided accommodation and living areas into human size proportions thus creating a feeling of welcome and old world charm. Designing a reappearing scalloped corner detail Beeldsnijder fine-tuned these areas as he worked closely with Californian Rebecca Bradley, responsible for selecting soft furnishings and fabrics.

On deck her custom array of Rondal deck hardware is set against an expanse of varnished teak cabin tops and seating areas. Again Beeldsnijder elected to provide intimate proportions to these otherwise expansive areas while maintaining a high regard for Dijkstra's requirements for sail plan, deck layout and classically inspired design influences.

The three-mast schooner rig by Rondal provides some 2,500 square metres of sail power and is complete with in-mast furling for the topsails and in-boom furling for the carbon fibre gaffs. Some 55 Rondal captive and drum winches allow lightning fast tacks under full sail whilst sails can be set and stowed at the press of a button or two.

Using 'Alustar' plate mast construction the tallest of her three masts fits snugly, at low tide, through Panama's controlling bridge height of 62m. And to give a sense of scale to all this, a trip up one of her hydraulically operated crow's nests gives the adventuresome a bird's eye view over an expanse of teak decking as Athena displays herself a resurrection of the golden age of sail.

Gerard Dijkstra comments: '_Athena_, Jim Clark's latest Royal Huisman can sail and manoeuvre under sail in light airs. The detailed attention given to all aspects of this yacht's construction is incredible with her superb engineering, state-of-the-art sail-handling equipment and the highest quality finish of interior joinery, she combines the best in sail with the luxury and interior space only thought possible in motor yachts.'

Meteor 2007 51.59m 25 million

The 51.59 metre sailing yacht Meteor was launched in May 2007, to the delight of her owners who had set a demanding brief for the yard and for Dykstra Naval Architects in collaboration with John G Alden .

During her maiden voyage Meteor, who is now for sale , behaved outstandingly in the English Channel with winds averaging 35 to 40 knots and gusting up to 65 knots. At the 2007 Palma Superyacht Cup she was able to show her performance potential again. Her elegant flag-blue hull and white sail plan created a striking image as she sailed, close hauled, at an easy 15 knots.

For her design, the naval architects maintained the tradition of a full keel underbody to ensure a sea-kindly motion, complemented above the waterline by graceful sheer and a fine clipper bow and bowsprit. The tall schooner rig and sail plan are also traditional in appearance, but refer more to contemporary race technology with Rondal Carbon spars, carbon standing rigging by Southern Composites, high-performance sails from North Sails and a functional ergonomic deck layout.

The interior, created by John Munford , affords Meteor a gracious, comfortable ambiance. Swetania mahogany throughout the owners' and guests' accommodation provides a warm, nostalgic glow, complemented by elegant soft furnishings and a collection of artwork. In the main saloon, a beautifully crafted wood-fired fireplace is the centrepiece of the library. Aft of this area is the full-width master cabin and forward are two mirror-image guest cabins. Crew accommodation, also in fine finished mahogany, is generous with seven well-appointed cabins.

On deck, there are two beautifully varnished deckhouses finished in teak and connected by a large, twin-tabled cockpit. The main deckhouse provides a comfortable refuge with leather upholstered furniture arranged around a large table. In the aft port corner a cleverly concealed wet bar is situated, complete with sink, fridge and stowage.

Elsewhere on deck, numerous classic styling references can be found including unusually wide centre teak deck planks, harmoniously designed deck hardware and winches. Even the gaff-rigged carbon masts and booms were finished to support the aesthetic integrity of Meteor , thanks to the expertise and ingenuity of the yard's sister company Rondal.

Her broker, William Bishop, at Yachting Partners International , says, '_Meteor_ arrived in Palma in early June and is available for sea trials. A St Barth's Bucket winner, she also won an unprecedented three awards at the 2008 World Superyacht Awards.'

Cyclos III 1990 42.35m 3.5 million

Built in 1990, the 42.4 metre sailing yacht Cyclos III truly broke the mould of yacht building at the time.

Ron Holland, the exterior stylist, took up the challenge from the owner an experienced yachtsman to produce a yacht that was not only comfortable but sailed well. 'I want a yacht that has spectacular sailing performance. Downwind sailing is boring any yacht can do it. Sailing upwind is where the excitement truly lies,' the owner said. Below deck, he wanted a chic contemporary interior that had a minimalist feel to it without the use of wood that was so common on yachts at that time.

Cyclos III is for sale at Yachting Partners International where William Bishop comments, '_Cyclos III_ was undoubtedly the ground breaking yacht of her generation, and a ketch that truly set the benchmark in terms of performance and technology. She's currently located at the Royal Huisman shipyard, where she is ready for a comprehensive refit and she represents a rare opportunity to secure a yacht of outstanding pedigree.'

Hanuman 2009 42.1m $18 million

Following the 42.1 metre Hyperion in 1999 and the classic 90 metre schoon_er Athena_ in 2004, the yachts' owner reaffirmed his confidence in Royal Huisman engineering by placing a third, highly distinctive order with the yard, the 42.1 metre Hanuman , delivered in 2009

Dykstra Naval Architects  oversaw the build of her hull in Alustar, with spars and rig in carbon composite to create an outstanding J Class yacht. To further this ambition, Royal Huisman worked with the independent Carew Group, master sailmakers North Sails and spar makers Rondal to create the optimum mast and sail configuration as, in effect, a single wing unit.

Below decks, by contrast, interior designer Pieter Beeldsnijder drew upon fine traditional materials such as hand-polished French walnut and period design references to create all the warmth and ambiance of a bygone era, sensitively fused with the high amenity standards of a modern superyacht.

In a review of Hanuman , Boat International said, '_Hanuman_ is a masterful marriage of the best of the style and majesty of the 1930s J Class era with 21st century technology. The matte finished deck hardware resembles the galvanized metals of a bygone era, yet handles extreme loads with the push of a button.'

William Tai 1997 40.68m 9.99 million

Delivered in 1997 as Surama, the interior of William Tai is light with an open and modern styling incorporating the sweeping curves and bi-level sightlines we have come to expect from the drawing board of Andrew Winch .

Following a shakedown cruise to Norway in the early spring following her launch, this Ted Hood -designed 41 metre ketch encountered gale force winds on her approach to the Mediterranean before an extensive summer-long cruising programme.

A very happy owner reported excellent turns of speed and total satisfaction with a yacht that required his attending only six construction meetings. She returned to Holland for minor fine-tuning before setting out on a worldwide cruise, initially via Cuba, Florida, the Pacific and New Zealand.

Jonathan Syrett at Camper & Nicholsons has William Tai for sale and says, 'Upgraded extensively in 2009 and 2011 by the shipyard, she was conceived as a world cruiser and no expense or detail was spared in her creation. She offers an ideal layout with a centreboard allowing for shallow draught destinations and good performance in Superyacht Cup/Bucket type regattas. She boasts a huge owner's cabin with private cockpit access.'

Camelot 1985 37.5m $1,795,000

Built in aluminium in 1985, the 37.5 metre motor yacht Camelot sleeps 10 guests in five en suite cabins including a main deck owner's suite. Twin 1,050hp MTU engines give her a range of 2,150 nautical miles. Camelot underwent a $1.2 million refit in 2008/2009 which saw all her major equipment rebuilt.

Listed for sale at Bradford Marine Yacht Sales , her broker, Whit Kirtland says of Camelot , 'This timeless design is a proven world cruiser, ready to take her new owner anywhere around the world in safety, style and comfort. A rare opportunity to obtain a proven world cruiser of this pedigree, at an outstanding value.'

Diamond For Ever 1987 36.24m 8 million

Diamond For Ever is a 36.24 metre cutter-rigged sailing yacht launched in 1987 to a design by Ron Holland . Jon Bannenberg was responsible for her exterior styling and interior design accommodating six guests in three cabins and berths for five crew. She was last refitted in 2002.

'In the past 17 years,' says her central agent, Herbert Dahm at dahm international , 'Diamond For Ever has had only one owner, which has ensured her immaculate condition today, with periodic refits and technical upgrades. She is a proven seaworthy, safe and steady circumnavigator with ample open-air entertainment areas and luxurious accommodation.'

Cyclos II 1984 28.33m 1.95 million

Built in 1984 as a world cruiser to a design by Sparkman & Stephens , Cyclos II had an extensive refit in 2003. A refined interior by Pieter Beeldsnijder in blonde teak, high quality upholstery and fine fabrics accommodates up to six guests in three cabins.

With a range of 1,700 nautical miles at eight knots when under power, Cyclos II has proved her worth at cruising the world with minimal crew.

She is jointly listed for sale at Ocean Independence by Rainer Wilhelm and Marc Haendle who says, 'Cyclos II offers unparalleled versatility being a real offshore world cruising yacht. Through Arctic waters or to Polynesia, she will always be a safe and ultra-reliable yacht which can be operated with a small crew in all kinds of conditions.'

The Dali was less than 30 minutes into its planned 27-day journey when the ship ran into the Francis Scott Key Bridge on Tuesday.

The ship, which was sailing under the Singaporean flag, was on its way to Sri Lanka and was supposed to arrive there on April 22, according to VesselFinder, a ship tracking website.

The Dali, which is nearly 1,000 feet long, left the Baltimore port around 1 a.m. Eastern on Tuesday. The ship had two pilots onboard, according to a statement by its owners, Grace Ocean Investment. There were 22 crew members on board, the Maritime & Port Authority of Singapore said in a statement. There were no reports of any injuries, Grace Ocean said.

Before heading off on its voyage, the Dali had returned to the United States from Panama on March 19, harboring in New York. It then arrived on Saturday in Baltimore, where it spent two days in the port.

Maersk, the shipping giant, said in a statement on Tuesday that it had chartered the vessel, which was carrying Maersk cargo. No Maersk crew and personnel were onboard, the statement said, adding that the company was monitoring the investigations being carried out by the authorities and by Synergy Group, the company that was operating the vessel.

“We are horrified by what has happened in Baltimore, and our thoughts are with all of those affected,” the Maersk statement said.

The Dali was built in 2015 by the South Korea-based Hyundai Heavy Industries. The following year, the ship was involved in a minor incident when it hit a stone wall at the port of Antwerp . The Dali sustained damage at the time, but no one was injured.

Six presumed dead after cargo ship crash levels Baltimore bridge

BALTIMORE — A major Baltimore bridge collapsed like a house of cards early Tuesday after it was struck by a container ship, sending six people to their deaths in the dark waters below, and closing one of the country’s busiest ports.

By nightfall, the desperate search for six people who were working on the bridge and vanished when it fell apart had become a grim search for bodies.

“We do not believe that we’re going to find any of these individuals still alive,” Coast Guard Rear Admiral Shannon N. Gilreath said.

Jeffrey Pritzker, executive vice president of Brawner Builders, said earlier that one of his workers had survived. He did not release their names.

Up until then, Maryland Gov. Wes Moore had held out hope that the missing people might be found even as law enforcement warned that the frigid water and the fact that there had been no sign of them since 1:30 a.m. when the ship struck Francis Scott Key Bridge.

Moore expressed heartbreak after officials suspended the search for survivors.

"Our heart goes out to the families," he said. "I can’t imagine how painful today has been for these families, how painful these hours have been have been for these families."

It was a crushing blow to the loved ones of the missing men, who had waited for hours at a Royal Farms convenience store near the entrance of the bridge for word of their fate.

The tragic chain of events began early Tuesday when the cargo ship Dali notified authorities that it had lost power and issued a mayday moments before the 984-foot vessel slammed into a bridge support at a speed of 8 knots, which is about 9 mph.

Moore declared a state of emergency while rescue crews using sonar detected at least five vehicles in the frigid 50-foot-deep water: three passenger cars, a cement truck and another vehicle of some kind. Authorities do not believe anyone was inside the vehicles.

Investigators quickly concluded that it was an accident and not an act of terrorism.

Ship was involved in another collision

Earlier, two people were rescued from the water, Baltimore Fire Chief James Wallace said. One was in good condition and refused treatment, he said. The other was seriously injured and was being treated in a trauma center.

Moore said other drivers might have been in the water had it not been for those who, upon hearing the mayday, blocked off the bridge and kept other vehicles from crossing.

“These people are heroes,” Moore said. “They saved lives.”

Nearly eight years ago, the Dali was involved in an accident. In July 2016, it struck a quay at the Port of Antwerp-Bruges in Belgium, damaging the quay.

The nautical commission investigated the accident, but the details of the inquiry were not immediately clear Tuesday.

The Dali is operated and managed by Synergy Group. In a statement, the company said that two port pilots were at the helm during Tuesday's crash and that all 22 crew members onboard were accounted for.

The Dali was chartered by the Danish shipping giant Maersk, which said it would have no choice but to send its ships to other nearby ports with the Port of Baltimore closed.

The bridge, which is about a mile and a half long and carries Interstate 695 over the Patapsco River southeast of Baltimore, was "fully up to code," Moore said.

National Transportation Safety Board Chairwoman Jennifer Homendy said that her agency will lead the investigation and that a data recorder on the ship could provide more information.

"But right now we're focusing on the people, on the families," she said. "The rest can wait."

President Joe Biden vowed to rebuild the bridge and send federal funds.

"This is going to take some time," the president warned. "The people of Baltimore can count on us though to stick with them, at every step of the way, till the port is reopened and the bridge is rebuilt."

Speaking in Baltimore, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg echoed the president's promise.

"This is no ordinary bridge," he said. "This is one of the cathedrals of American infrastructure."

But Buttigieg warned that replacing the bridge and reopening the port will take time and money and that it could affect supply chains.

The Port of Baltimore, the 11th largest in the U.S., is the busiest port for car imports and exports, handling more than 750,000 vehicles in 2023 alone, according to data from the Maryland Port Administration.

Writer David Simon, a champion of Baltimore who set his TV crime drama "The Wire" on the streets of the city he once covered as a reporter, warned online that the people who will suffer the most are those whose livelihoods depend on the port.

"Thinking first of the people on the bridge," Simon posted on X . "But the mind wanders to a port city strangling. All the people who rely on ships in and out."

Timeline of crash

Dramatic video captured the moment at 1:28 a.m. Tuesday when the Dali struck a support and sent the bridge tumbling into the water. A livestream showed cars and trucks on the bridge just before the strike. The ship did not sink, and its lights remained on.

Investigators said in a timeline that the Dali's lights suddenly shut off four minutes earlier before they came back on and that then, at 1:25 a.m. dark black smoke began billowing from the ship's chimney.

A minute later, at 1:26 a.m., the ship appeared to turn. And in the minutes before it slammed into the support, the lights flickered again.

Maryland Transportation Secretary Paul Wiedefeld said the workers on the bridge were repairing concrete ducts when the ship crashed into the structure.

At least seven workers were pouring concrete to fix potholes on the roadway on the bridge directly above where the ship hit, said James Krutzfeldt, a foreman.

Earlier, the Coast Guard said it had received a report that a “motor vessel made impact with the bridge” and confirmed it was the Dali, a containership sailing under a Singaporean flag that was heading for Sri Lanka.

Bobby Haines, who lives in Dundalk in Baltimore County, said he felt the impact of the bridge collapse from his house nearby.

"I woke up at 1:30 this morning and my house shook, and I was freaking out," he said. "I thought it was an earthquake, and to find out it was a bridge is really, really scary."

Families of bridge workers wait for updates

Earlier in the day, relatives of the construction crew waited for updates on their loved ones.

Marian Del Carmen Castellon told Telemundo her husband, Miguel Luna, 49, was working on the bridge.

“They only tell us that we have to wait and that they can’t give us information,” she said.

Castellon said she was "devastated, devastated because our heart is broken, because we don’t know how they have been rescued yet. We are just waiting for the news."

Luna's co-worker Jesús Campos said he felt crushed, too.

“It hurts my heart to see what is happening. We are human beings, and they are my folks,” he said.

Campos told The Baltimore Banner that the missing men are from El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Mexico.

Active search and rescue ends

The Coast Guard said it was suspending the active search-and-rescue effort at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday.

"Coast Guard’s not going away, none of our partners are going away, but we’re just going to transition into a different phase," Gilreath said at a news conference.

Maryland State Police Superintendent Roland L. Butler, Jr., said it was moving to a recovery operation. Changing conditions have made it dangerous for divers, he said. 

Butler pledged to "do our very best to recover those six missing people," but the conditions are difficult.

"If we look at how challenging it is at a simple motor vehicle crash to extract an individual, I'm sure we can all imagine how much harder it is to do it in inclement weather, when it's cold, under the water, with very limited to no visibility," he said.

"There's a tremendous amount of debris in the water," which can include sharp metal and other hazards, and that could take time, Butler said.

'A long road in front of us'

Built in 1977 and referred to locally as the Key Bridge, the structure was later named after the author of the American national anthem.

The bridge is more than 8,500 feet long, or 1.6 miles. Its main section spans 1,200 feet, and it was one of the longest continuous truss bridges in the world upon its completion, according to the National Steel Bridge Alliance .

About 31,000 vehicles a day use the bridge, which equals 11.3 million vehicles per year, according to the Maryland Transportation Authority.

The river and the Port of Baltimore are both key to the shipping industry on the East Coast, generating more than $3.3 billion a year and directly employing more than 15,000 people.

Asked what people in Baltimore can expect going forward, the state's transportation secretary said it is too early to tell.

"Obviously we reached out to a number of engineering companies, so obviously we have a long road in front of us," Wiedefeld said.

The collapsed Baltimore bridge didn't stand a chance against such a huge cargo ship, engineers say

• Engineering experts sought to explain how the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore collapsed.
• They centered on one factor: the sheer size of the cargo ship that hit it.
• Faced with such momentum, a total collapse was inevitable, they said.

The Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore stood no chance against the huge impact from a cargo ship Tuesday morning, engineering experts told Business Insider.

The bridge was destroyed in the early hours of Tuesday, collapsing in a violent fashion after a large cargo ship, the Dali, hit one of its support pillars.

Understanding why and how the bridge collapsed could have big implications for safety, both in the cargo shipping industry and in civil engineering.

The physics of the impact are "pretty clear," said Leroy Gardner, a professor of structural engineering at Imperial College London.

"There's a heavy impact from a cargo ship into one of the piers," he said in a call with BI. "Once that collapsed, then the rest of the bridge followed soon after."

Experts told BI it was unlikely that any defects in the bridge's structure were relevant to the collapse, given the scale of the impact.

The Dali is a substantial vessel, 300 meters long and with a gross tonnage of roughly 95,000, according to the website vesselfinder.com .

It's of comparable size and weight to a Nimitz-class aircraft carrier in the US Navy. The Dali was almost as tall as the bridge it was trying to pass under.

"All bridge piers will be designed to resist impact from a vessel. And I think this will be unquestionably no exception to that," Gardner said.

"I think it's the magnitude of the force in this case, which is extremely unusual, which has caused the problem for this bridge," he said.

Related stories

The Francis Scott Key Bridge opened in 1977. Its design is a steel truss bridge. The bridge was resting on concrete piers before the impact, experts said based on footage shared online.

"The support is a very, relatively, flimsy structure when you look at it — it's a kind of trestle structure with individual legs," Ian Firth, a structural engineer and bridge consultant in the UK, told the BBC . "So, the bridge has collapsed simply as a result of this very large impact force."

The impact from the Dali seemed to knock out one of the concrete piers, a "critical, significant part of the bridge," Gardner told BI.

"Structures generally are typically designed to have a certain amount of robustness. So if there's damage to a small part of it, the rest of the structure can remain intact," Gardner said.

"I think losing such an important element, I would expect the entire bridge to collapse, which is what happens," he said.

It wasn't immediately clear what caused the crash. It also wasn't clear from the footage how quickly the Dali was moving, experts said. It had only recently left the port.

Barbara Rossi, an associate professor of engineering science at the University of Oxford, told BI in an email that the impacting force "must have been immense to lead to these massive (concrete) structures to collapse, leaving the superstructure without one of its supports."

Long investigations are likely to follow, said Mark Richards, director of NESTA Consulting Engineers.

"It's inevitable that the engineering community will look at this and investigate what happened very carefully, to learn lessons from it — if there are lessons to be learned from it," he told BI in a call.

"The bridges are designed for events that are considered by the wider community unit of engineering to be appropriate or probable. Maybe this event just steps outside of that," he said.

"It may be that those events could not be foreseen, and so we can't forget that," he said.

In an emailed statement to BI, a Danish engineering and architecture consultancy called COWI said that bridges are not usually designed to withstand a direct impact from a ship.

Instead, engineers would create structures near the bridge supports that a ship would hit first, absorbing the impact.

Then "the failure would be linked to that and not to the bridge itself," said Lorna Wharton, Head of Press and Public Affairs for COWI.

It was not immediately clear what defenses the Francis Scott Key bridge had, the experts said. COWI and Richards said that something may have been there.

Engineers will likely be considering not only the protections for the bridge itself, but how the broader dynamics of what routes ships took under and around the bridge, the experts said.

Correction: March 27, 2024 — An earlier version of this story mischaracterized the cargo ship that hit the Francis Scott Key Bridge. It has a gross tonnage of around 95,000, not a mass of around 95,000 tons.
