KRM Yacht Refit & Rebuild has announced a landmark development in its operational capabilities with the signing of a contract for a state-of-the-art 900-ton travel lift from Cimolai Technology. This advanced equipment, set to be operational by November 2024 at Viaport Marina Tuzla, will enable KRM Yacht to accommodate vessels up to 70 metres (230 feet) in length, making it the largest travel lift in Turkey.
The momentous occasion was highlighted by a visit from KRM Yacht’s managing director, Kerem Başer, to the impressive facilities of Cimolai Technology. This partnership marks the continuation of a successful relationship that began seven years ago with the purchase of a 300-ton travel lift. The new 900-ton travel lift not only represents a significant upgrade but also underscores KRM Yacht’s unwavering commitment to providing top-notch services and facilities to its clientele.
Kerem Başer expressed his enthusiasm for this development, stating “Seven years ago, we made our first purchase from Cimolai Technology—a 300T travel lift. Today, we’re proud to continue our partnership with this acquisition of a 900T travel lift.”
This sentiment was encapsulated in a photograph capturing the signing ceremony, featuring Başer alongside Roberto Cimolai. The image symbolises more than just a contract signing; it represents a strong partnership and a shared vision for advancing excellence within the yacht industry.
The new 900-ton travel lift is poised to significantly enhance KRM Yacht’s operational efficiency and capacity, reinforcing its position as a leading yacht refit and rebuild facility in the region. This acquisition will enable KRM Yacht to cater to a broader range of vessels, offering unparalleled service to its clients.
This strategic investment reflects KRM Yacht’s dedication to leading maritime technology, with its partnership with Cimolai Technology demonstrating its commitment to excellence and innovation.
The arrival of the new travel lift is eagerly anticipated, promising to bolster KRM Yacht’s operational capabilities and further cement its reputation for delivering exceptional service in the yacht refit and rebuild sector.
