The MY Savannah is an 84m luxury megayacht built in 2015 by Feadship, available for charter with a crew of 24 for up to twelve guests. She has the distinction of being the first hybrid superyacht and has gained numerous awards.
In May 2022 while waiting for the next charter to begin, a situation arose which needed immediate handling. The Savannah’s captain, Chris Durham explains, “We had a situation whereby in the space of seven days we encountered quite severe issues with both depth sounders.”
“When they told me that we couldn’t repair the depth sounders without coming out of the water, I started to look a little further into why, and what we could do to fix that,” says Chris. He reached out to the technical advisor at their management company, Y.CO Luxury Yacht Management. “They gave us contact information for two companies who might help, one of which was Hydrex,” Chris recalls.
This was business as usual for Hydrex and a perfect example of providing fast underwater and afloat service to vessels in need, so as to keep them in service and out of drydock. Whether it’s a 350-meter container ship or cruise ship, or an 84-meter super yacht, the same expertise and level of service is available to provide a rapid, high-quality solution.
If ever you need assistance with the underwater part of your vessel, give us a call. We can then tell you if the repair is feasible and start working on its handling.
