The newly formed Scenic Group shipbuilding company, MKM Yachts, was awarded a sub-concession from the Maj 3 Shipyard in Rijeka, Croatia, at an official ceremony on July 2, 2020. The ceremony was attended by the Croatian Minister of Transport, Infrastructure and Maritime Affairs, Oleg Butkovic, and Sasa Cokljat, Managing Director of MKM Yachts.
MKM Yachts, wholly owned by Scenic Group, will be responsible for Scenic Group's new build projects in Croatia. Construction of Scenic Eclipse II is already underway, and Scenic Group recently confirmed the construction of four more custom-built yachts over the next six years, maintaining its 6-star luxury standard.
Glen Moroney, president of Scenic Group, commented: “This is an exciting development for Scenic Group. We have the experience gained from building the Scenic Eclipse I, and from the team that delivered it under challenging circumstances. Plans for future projects are well underway, and we look forward to sharing them when the time comes.”.
The ceremony marks a significant milestone for the Australian-founded business and demonstrates its confidence in the ultra-luxury yacht market. The company continues to solidify its position as a global industry leader and expert in small-ship cruising experiences.
