With muscular exterior lines by Omega Architects, characterised by ‘shark-tooth’ superstructure overhangs and vertical windows, Heesen s 55-metre class epitomises the idea of elegance on the water. The design features the latest iteration of van Oossanen’s ultra-efficient Fast Displacement Hull Form. Powered by IMO III-compliant MTU 8V 4000 M63s, it offers frugal fuel consumption of just 150 litres per hour at 11 knots, for truly economical passagemaking.
