On the 12 of June 2009 Roman Abramovich’s motor yacht ECLIPSE underwent a preliminary launch at the Blohm & Voss shipyard in Hamburg. The superyacht will undergo further construction and finishing before being delivered to her owner later in the year. You can see a video of the yacht’s launching here: The massive displacement superyacht ECLIPSE was designed by Hermidas Atabeyki with interior designs by the very well know designer Terrence Disdale. The mega yacht, which after her launch is now the largest private yacht in the world will have a gross tonnage of around 13,000 tonnes. No public confirmation about the yacht’s size or specific features has as yet been officially made, however, she is understood (but as yet to be confirmed) to measure 170 metres, or slightly less, which would indeed make her the world’s largest yacht in length by around eight meters. She is larger than the UAE royal yacht DUBAI, now second largest, which is just over 162 meters long. MY Eclipse (wallpaper 4). MY Eclipse ship images wallpaper gallery 4.

The Thyssenkrupp Blohm + Voss shipyard in Hamburg, is a large industrial giant in Germany and the shipbuilder has been understandably tight-lipped about mega yacht ECLIPSE. The yacht was expected to be delivered to her owner Roman Abramovich in late 2009, or accordingy to some reports, sometime in 2010. Abramovich’s is now the owner of four motor yachts: Pelorus, Sussurro and Ecstasea and Eclipse. Mr Abramovich used to own “Le Grand Bleu,” however that explorer style mega yacht was presented to his associate and friend, Eugene Shvidler in June of 2006. The rest of his boats measure: the Pelorus (377ft), the Ecstasea ( 282ft) and the Sussurro (161ft). All of these yachts are huge by world terms, and in the top 100 largest yachts, however the Eclipse dwarfs them all. M/Y Eclipse is reported to have at least two helicopter pads, several jacuzzis, a swimming pool, three larger tenders, and a private submarine. There have also been reports about the motor yacht’s various high tech security technology, such as motion sensors, armour plating, and escape sub and a special missile detection defense system.

As reported by fvn.no, it is believed that M/Y Eclipse will arrive in Kristiansand on 16th/17th May, coinciding with Norwegian Constitution Day, the National Day of Norway. Eclipse will stay in Kristiansand for a week where she will undergo sea trials. News of the arrival of mega yacht Eclipse follows the delivery of the 115m Luna to Roman Abramovich, which took place on 10th April in Kristiansand. M/Y Luna is the world's largest exploration yacht, allowing long distance cruises without the need to refuel, whilst travelling in spacious, luxurious living areas. M/Y Eclipse, widely thought to belong to Roman Abramovich, first hit the water in June 2009. She was built at German shipyard Blohm + Voss and features interior design by the celebrated, London-based Terence Disdale Design. There has been much speculation as to the details of M/Y Eclipse; it has been confirmed that the mega yacht boasts 24 luxury suites; a 16m on-deck swimming pool, which can be transformed into a dance floor in the evenings, and two helipads. M/Y Eclipse is also able to accommodate three helicopters and a private submarine. MY Eclipse (wallpaper 3). MY Eclipse ship images wallpaper gallery 3.

He told the court the article implied that Abramovich’s long-term partner Dasha Zhukova had been forced to issue an ultimatum that he either give up playing poker or she would end their relationship. It also suggested Abramovich was seriously risking his financial stability and had already been forced to liquidate assets to cover heavy gambling debts, Kelly said. Sarah Toolan, the publisher’s lawyer, said it offered its sincere apologies. “The defendant accepts that the allegations are untrue and ought never to have been published,” she said. “Regrettably, these allegations were not put to Mr Abramovich or his representatives before publication. If they had been, the defendant would have been advised of the utter falsity of the allegations,” he told the High Court. The court heard that the newspaper’s publisher, Gruppo Editoriale L’Espresso, had agreed to pay Abramovich “substantial damages” which he intended to donate to charity. MY Eclipse (wallpaper 3).

The Russian/UK billionaire Roman Abramovich, owner of London club Chelsea, won a public apology and substantial libel damages Thursday over false newspaper claims that he had lost one of his superyachts gambling. An Italian Newspaper published that Mr. Abramovich lost a 500,000 dollar superyacht whilst playing a poker game in Barcelona, during a visit to watch Chelsea, the team he bought for £140m in 2003. Roman Abramovich has built several superyachts, including the world’s largest, yacht ECLIPSE. The libelous article published in La Repubblica last May incorrectly alleged Abramovich had suffered a heavy loss in a poker game and had been forced to hand over a luxury yacht worth half a million euros, his lawyer John Kelly told London’s High Court. Mr. Kelly said the untrue report, under the headline “A black year for Abramovich as he loses a yacht at poker,” had caused distress and embarrassment to the Russian businessman, the Press Association reported.

MY Eclipse (wallpaper 1). MY Eclipse ship images wallpaper gallery 1. MY Eclipse ship pictures and images collection 1. M/Y Eclipse is a luxury motor yacht constructed by Blohm + Voss in Hamburg, Germany. Its exterior and interior are designed by Terence Disdale Design and its naval architect is Francis design. The yacht is owned by Roman Abramovich, and is 163.5 m (536 ft) long, and it was delivered to Abramovich on 9 December 2010. This made Eclipse the world's largest private yacht, 0.5 metres (1 ft 8 in) longer than the world's biggest yacht Dubai, which belongs to Sheikh Mohammed, the ruler of Dubai. The yacht's initial cost was estimated at € 340 million (circa $485 million US), but a September 2009 report indicated that final costs could approach € 800 million ($1.2 billion US). Eclipse has two helicopter pads, 24 guest cabins, two swimming pools, several hot tubs and a disco hall. It also comes equipped with three launch boats, and a mini-submarine that is capable of submerging to 50 metres. MY Eclipse (wallpaper 1). MY Eclipse ship images wallpaper gallery 1. MY Eclipse ship pictures and images collection 1. Approximately 70 crew members are needed to operate the yacht. For security, Eclipse is fitted with intruder detection systems and a German-built missile defence system. The windows in Abramovich's master suite and the yacht's bridge are also fitted with bullet-proof glass and both are armour plated. The yacht is also reportedly equipped with an anti-paparazzi shield in the form of lasers that sweep the surroundings, and when they detect a CCD, they shine a light right at the camera to prevent the photograph. According to The Times, these don’t run all the time, so friends and guests should still be able to take pictures. Instead, they will be activated when guards spot likely professional photographers nearby. How such a device would actually function is unclear, and there is no evidence that this device even exists beyond rumours. Eclipse was launched on 12 June 2009. It arrived in Frederikshavn, Denmark on September 18, 2009 for tests, and finally delivered to Abramovich on December 9, 2010. First pictures of the completed yacht were taken at Kristiansand, Norway during its refueling. In February 2011 Eclipse was made available for charter through SuperYachtsMonaco, a yacht brokerage company with the headoffice in Monaco. Abramovich's private fleet consists of four motor yachts: Eclipse; Pelorus; Sussurro, and Luna. He gave his previously-owned Le Grand Bleu to his associate and friend Eugene Shvidler in June 2006. He also sold Ecstasea, in June 2009, to an unknown Egyptian. MY Eclipse (wallpaper 1). MY Eclipse ship images wallpaper gallery 1. MY Eclipse ship pictures and images collection 1.
