Specifications:
Engineering, modification and expansion of the electrical installation during the complete rebuild of the yacht.
Description:
In 2023, Balk Shipyard in Urk started one of the most complex rebuilds in its history: the 24-metre Ursus, built by Acico Yachts in 2016. Mulder Design redesigned the yacht using CFD calculations and extended her to just over 30 metres. Only the midsection of the hull was kept. The bow and stern were completely replaced.
Electroservice Urk was responsible for the electrical installation of the rebuilt vessel. The extension added many new systems, and each of them had to work reliably with the existing installation. These include diesel-electric azimuth propulsion, a new bow thruster, a dynamic positioning system, Furuno navigation and wing stations on both sides of the vessel.
The new bow has an extra crew cabin, a seating area and a twin anchor system. At the stern, Ursus gained a beach club and a relocated tender garage. She accommodates six guests in three cabins and is finished with FSC-certified teak and a striking ‘Batumi Gold’ hull.
Ursus was relaunched on 10 January 2025. She was handed over to her owner in early 2025, after sea trials.
