ART Station Retrofitting with its R&D devoted centre under development.
Exploiting feasible solutions of contemporary technology applicable.
Put forward by the UN’s International Maritime Organisation, Tier III of the IMO NOx regulations aims to reduce nitrogen oxide emissions (NOx) by around 70% compared with the current Tier II standards. The regulations apply to vessels in North America, the US Caribbean, the Baltic Sea, the North Sea, and all future NOx Emission Control Areas since Jan 2021: any boat that might pass through must comply, which basically means all must adopt these regulations.
YACHTDNA.ART introduces the Technical Station ART project, inspired by its Arab clientele and the acronym ARABIYA RESTORATION TIME (Arabian Yachts Restoration Time) to be implemented in superyacht retrofitting. Devoted to its multicultural clientele, it develops an R&D segment to seek sustainable solutions feasibly applicable on board.
What exactly is the Premium Technical Station ART? The Technical Station offers principally two services:
First to convert the preowned yachts to ecological ones (no soot, no pollution to the marine environment) in collaboration with a Dutch engineering team. And secondly to convert the preowned Superyachts to be compliant with IMO TIER III with intervention in the engine room. We are ambitious to be helping the private and public sectors when it comes to a Green Economy. Beyond the commercial angle, we should push the classification societies to boost the concept. The likes of the El Mahrousa Egyptian ownership yacht of 1865, at 146m, Al-Said at 155m, Issham Al Baher at 116m, and many more were the pioneers of the superyacht industry who played a prominent role in establishing the building ground for the Giga yacht size.
The Arabic influence does not stop there, as they have been the leading legislators for large yachts that accommodate the comfort of families and the professional setting of VIPs, as well as the luxury of the royal families. They also helped shape the impressive assortment of entertainment venues as well as the reliable functionality that follows the PYC compliance Superyachts of today. In the way Andreas Liveras, the father of megayachts, decided to build Annaliese and Alysia in Millennium, chartered principally by Arabs. It is Arabs who first invested in retrofitting while now taking one extra step. Changes are related to the implementation of energy-efficient technologies, propulsion options, and smart technologies.
This is corroborating evidence from the industry’s data, and the superyacht intelligence agencies, since Arabic Ownership of superyachts is in the higher tenth percentile nationalities, with the majority of the megayachts to belong to Arabs, 80% of them to Gulf residents identifying UAE in the top ten of superyacht owners’ origin.
Moreover. Arabs are also the leading habitué in the demand for services as well as products provided by yacht renovation, refurbishment, and annual maintenance manufacturers in the East Mediterranean at least.
As a matter of fact, it is a known tradition for Arab superyacht owners to do a scintillating makeover that helps mobilize multiple professionals, businesses, and industries including shipyards, naval architects, interior designers, fabric traders, and machinery workshops. Arab Gulf superyacht owners are also responsible for triggering multiple sectors of the global economy, including Europe and Asia.
The luxury of superyachts necessitates innovation in the fields of technology, environmental engineering, waste management, and economic growth.
Likewise, the concentration of luxury superyacht Ownership amongst Arabic nations and the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region together with the associated market potential, are the fundamental factors in our decision to establish our Technical Station ART inspired and named after the motto Arabiya Restoration Time.
The Premium Technical Station ART project is ambitious to be developing an R&D segment seeking feasible solutions and contemporary technology to adopt in Retrofitting. This is about waste management appliances, sophisticated antifouling paints marine environment-friendly, hull studies, engineering amendments, and crew education on eco-friendly products.
There’s need of a study on various plans in order to sustain the quality of the environment including air, land, and water; more notably, our plans for sophisticated waste management units to turn waste in a cap of processed water, PET plastic dissolution, composters, lithium batteries, solar panels, as well as hybrid electric systems that reduce carbon emissions in the air and reduce the carbon footprint. This will help the yachting industry comply with green regulations. Renewable energy and resource efficiency are likely to be the new normal in the next few years. We have already seen heavy taxation and regulation for vehicles and modes of transportation that have been damaged, thus it is best to adjust to these changes.
It is our mission to serve both the international superyacht industry and our clientele by connecting regional demand with international expertise in luxury yacht management, technical, and renovation services. Proportionally, this will bring about more innovation when it comes to the preservation of the global economy as well as reducing the exacerbation of the environment. In short, our mission concerns:
- R&D Centre for Development
- Innovative Technology applicable to Superyachts
- Enrichment of the local and international job market
- Better Green Deals: Green Superyachts Compliance
- Less carbon footprint
- The preservation of the Arabic Superyacht culture and heritage
- Establishing the ART as a liaison for funding, budgeting, and creating new projects that concern Superyachts in the Arab world
- Energy conservation
We plan to perpetuate the constructive development and preservation of the superyacht industry by introducing new technologies that help enrich the job market, reduce carbon footprints in the air, and allow a minimum impact on the marine environment. Moreover, we plan to use the power of technology to bridge between the best of the superyacht industry sectors and the Superyacht owners on a single platform, the ART.
This will be where we can discuss critical ideas such as future projects, planning, budgeting, and funding for such projects. Furthermore, we plan to pave the way for the evolution of the new superyacht industry led by the same pattern and name, Asian Yachts Restoration Time.
PREMIUM TECHNICAL STATION
The UAE and the superyacht industry are magnificent terrains with so many beautiful sectors to constantly develop, educate, and share the essence of luxury from any perspective while also rapidly changing for the better. Shipyards, naval architects, engineering teams, and non-profit environmental foundations, including Arabic government foundations, work hard and use the latest science and data figures to come up with more sustainable energy options. This is all done in order to minimize the footprint of carbon dioxide and prevent the recession of fossil fuels.
As a result, this project will ensure that the yachting industry is on the right path for a better future, not to mention, that the yachting and marine industry in the Arab world could set an example for the rest of the world on how things should be from now on, just like they have always done in the yachting industry.
The Premium Superyacht Technical Station ART will also offer winterization with a range of services, such as Consultancy, Supervision, and inspection services for the Superyacht industry.

Monaco-based designer and artist George Lucian is famous for a great series of extraordinary superyacht concepts. The yachting world had been amazed by the 70-meter explorer superyacht Fata Morgana that we adore to present. In times of environmental concern in the industry and when over ten major superyacht brands have signed up to carbon footprint reduction, the concept has been purposefully designed to raise awareness about the irreversible changes that take place in the arctic areas.
The 70-meter explorer yacht has been designed to be chartered in the arctic areas, including the Northwest Passage, which due to the climate changes and the melting of the icecaps is much easier to navigate through. Fata Morgana will come with an ice-classed hull, to be able to navigate in the arctic waters and aims to perfectly fit with the arctic landscape, with her bow resembling a rock formation partially covered in snow, and the stern having a glass structure corresponding with icebergs.
From afar Fata Morgana may look like an island, just as her name suggests, referring to a complex form of superior mirage, described in the sailor’s old legends. The glass structure of the yacht accommodates the main saloon and the VIP suites offering unobstructed views of the sky and of the surroundings. The rest of the yacht bears superyacht features, providing accommodation for up to 12 guests and 18 crew members.
The yacht would come fitted with an outdoor swimming pool, a telescope/sky observatory just above the bridge deck, and a helipad. In addition, Fata Morgana shall be equipped with devices that will constantly monitor the ocean’s temperature and composition and transmit them to the concerned international organizations. Techno-wise, the superyacht would boast a range of 7,000 nautical miles and would also be able to navigate kite-assisted for smooth long-distance travels. Naturally, the project is designed for low emissions and waste.
