53m support yacht FIVE OCEANS launched by Damen Yachting
The latest Damen Yachting YS53 support yacht FIVE OCEANS has been launched at their build facility in Antalya. Her unique colour scheme was unveiled for the first time as she emerged from the shed – a sky blue hull with orange trim. On the dock to witness the launch was her delighted owner, Founder and Director of Five Oceans Global Solutions, Tommy Allen.

His dedication to cutting-edge technology and marine exploration, while actively preserving the marine environment, will form part of the organisations programme. He gave an insight into his plans by commenting, “You can sleep on it, fly off of it and move it. For us the Yacht Support is a platform that enables us to do all the incredible things we wanted to do.”

Tommy Allen plans to use the vessel for the next three to four years for Five Oceans Global Solutions, ‘Voyage of Advancement.’ They will keep moving around the Mediterranean, Atlantic and Indian Ocean, around the Middle East, before pushing out to the coast of Africa, back over to Asia and finishing at Papua New Guinea.

She incorporates two decades of successful Yacht Support experience, showcasing a deep understanding of high-end yacht operations, global adventure lifestyles and outstanding technical solutions. Jan van Hogerwou, Commercial Executive at Damen Yachting, has worked with the Owner on this project since the outset. “We are proud to be launching this very special 53-metre Yacht Support today. YS53 FIVE OCEANS will be used to research life below the surface of our oceans, a topic and cause central to Mr. Allen’s operations and an important vision that we are honoured to be contributing to with this Yacht Support platform. Seeing her out in the open and ready for the final stages of her build before her delivery just a couple of months from now is the start of something truly exciting.”
