Second superyacht at Malta Drydocks

The 60-meter superyacht MY Paloma is in the drydocks for repair works - the second superyacht to have work done at the 'yard this year.

The other superyacht at the 'yard is the MY Alexander.

The Paloma is owned by the Greek group Goulandris and is usually berthed in the Greek marina Zea in Athens. The yacht was built in Japan and is the 60th largest yacht in the world.

Drydocks chairman John Cassar White said all the docks were full at the moment and the 'yard's order book, which is usually "slow" at this time of the year, was looking good.

"The short term projections show we have good prospects for work till April.

"We are also chasing some major work, including two conversions. We hope to land at least one of them. But such projects are complex because they would require financing from different sources and are not concluded overnight," he said.
