The Scenic Group’s newly formed shipbuilding company, MKM Yachts, was granted a sub concession of the Maj 3 Shipyard in Rijeka, Croatia, at an official signing ceremony on 2 July 2020. The ceremony was attended by the Croatian Minister of Transport, Infrastructure and Sea, Oleg Butkovic and Sasa Cokljat, Managing Director MKM Yachts.
The newly formed business MKM Yachts is wholly owned by the Scenic Group and will be the contractor for Scenic’s new-build projects in Croatia. The construction of Scenic Eclipse II is already underway and Scenic Group recently confirmed construction of a further four custom-built vessels over the next six years, all of which will continue the signature 6-star ultra-luxury standard.
Glen Moroney, Chairman of the Scenic Group commented, “This is a very exciting development for the Scenic Group to build on the experience gained with the construction of Scenic Eclipse I, utilising the team we built that delivered her in difficult circumstances. Plans are well advanced for future projects and we look forward to sharing these at the appropriate time.”
The ceremony marks a significant milestone for the Australian-founded business and demonstrates its confidence in the ultra-luxury yacht market. The business continues to secure its position as a leader in the global industry and as experts in small-ship cruising experiences.
