EXCLUSIVE: 142m Lurssen superyacht NORD, formerly 'Project Opus', delivered

By Katie Scott 19 February 2021
Lurssen’s 142m/466ft motor yacht NORD , formerly known as Project Opus, has successfully been delivered to her owner. She set off from the German yard this morning on her maiden voyage to Gibraltar.
Initially known as 'Project Redwood' and then 'Project Opus', megayacht NORD was constructed at the Lurssen Bremen shipyard and boasts no less than 20 cabins for up to 36 guests.
Officially launched in July 2020, NORD spans over six decks and is one of the largest motor yachts delivered in 2021.
![the nord yacht owner the nord yacht owner](https://image.yachtcharterfleet.com/w456/h456/q90/ca/k7a317724/cms/gallery/instagram/1453132.jpg)
First announced in December 2015, the name NORD was exclusively revealed by YachtCharterFleet and was initially proposed to be a 139m Project. She has since been extended by an additional three metres, allowing for extra amenities onboard.
Sporting immaculate design from Italian studio Nuvolari & Lenard, who previously collaborated with Lurssen on the award-winning 88m/289ft superyacht QUATTROELLE , the yacht's profile is particularly striking.
One of the most iconic components of her exterior is the subtle nod to the automobile industry; NORD is the first yacht to have her nameplate on the bow, much like a car grill.
![the nord yacht owner the nord yacht owner](https://image.yachtcharterfleet.com/w456/h456/q90/ca/kaaf1dc80/cms/gallery/instagram/1453134.jpg)
NORD showcases her capacious volume of 9,250GT by providing extensive relaxation and lounging areas, as well as indulgent social environments for unforgettable parties.
![the nord yacht owner Lurssen megayacht NORD aft close-up view of superstructure](https://image.yachtcharterfleet.com/w512/h328/qh/ca/ow-1/kbac54cc1/cms/photo/1354974/lurssen-megayacht-nord-aft.jpg)
Featuring a displacement steel hull and aluminium superstructure, with teak decks, NORD has been built in compliance to Lloyds Register PYC classification society rules.
First seen on the move in October 2018, before becoming Project Opus in 2019, she joins the Top 10 of the World's longest yachts alongside 180m (592.7ft) superyacht AZZAM and 156m (511.8ft) DILBAR .
![the nord yacht owner Lurssen megayacht NORD at anchor by Lurssen shipyard, still boasting previous name Project Opus](https://image.yachtcharterfleet.com/w1040/h545/qh/ca/ow-1/kd26afd3e/cms/photo/1354703/lurssen-megayacht-nord-at-anchor.jpg)
Indicating several unique features onboard the latest Lurssen megayacht, dual helipads, on-deck swimming pools and Jacuzzis are just some key features listed for NORD.
A spacious sports and diving centre accompany storage for tenders up to 15m, and a custom hangar slides in to place within the superstructure when not in use.
It is currently unknown whether NORD is to be available for superyacht charters .

Yacht NORD interior
The interior of the NORD yacht was developed by Nuvolari Lenard, an Italian yacht designer who also worked on the exterior of the impressive vessel.
Twenty-four guests can be accommodated in twelve luxurious cabins, including a spacious owner’s suite. There is additional space below the deck for up to 40 crew members.
Although exact details of the interior of NORD remain private and unknown to the public, the yacht is said to have two elevators, a large gym, a sauna, a beauty salon, and a cinema.
Lenard and his design studio are known for their upscale and aesthetically pleasing layouts, which are usually kept in earth tones and natural colors.
The Italian designer also worked on Mordashov’s smaller yacht, the LADY M, where he designed both the interior and exterior.

The massive yacht weighs 9,259 tons. Her four MTU engines allow her to reach top speeds of 25 knots, although her average cruising speed lies closer to 20 knots.
NORD exterior
The exterior of the NORD yacht was designed by Nuvolari Lenard and his experienced Italian design studio which is considered one of the most exclusive in the world.
The yacht is white with dark blue elements on the top decks, creating a streamlined effect and making the vessel appear even more elegant.
She has two separate helipads, one of which even has a collapsible helicopter hangar that can store smaller aircraft.
On the aft of the yacht, there is a sizeable swimming pool and beach club. NORD has a high-quality steel hull and impressive aluminum superstructure.
![the nord yacht owner nord4](https://yachtbible.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/nord4-1024x643.png)

Mordashov—the largest shareholder in the steelmaker Severstal and the third-richest man in Russia —has been sanctioned by the European Union, the United Kingdom and the United States in response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The oligarch maintains he has had no involvement in Russian politics and has been fighting the sanctions since May.
However, like other sanctioned Russians, his assets continue to be seized by Western governments. In fact, Mordashov lost his 215-foot superyacht , Lady M , back in March after it was confiscated by Italian police. In response, billionaires have started relocating their high-priced ships to safer waters.

The crew member corrects him saying: “First class”.
A customs man inspects one of several drinks cabinets, and comments disapprovingly: “No Russian vodka.”
