Benetti continues to expand its presence in the Asia Pacific area, by confirming that the custom FB270 is the shipyard’s first superyacht to fly the Chinese flag, with a certificate issued by the China Classification Society. 

“Hainan is striving to become an international tourist centre, in accordance with the state’s general guidelines and requirements, in order to further develop the city as a first-class port tourism destination with a window to display world-class yachts and innovation within the global yachting industry.” Says Mr. Fu Buming, Port Administration Chief at the Department of Commerce of Hainan province.

Peter Mahony, General Manager Benetti Yachts Asia, commented: “The sale of FB270 shows that an evolution is taking place and that a market will adapt to its new environment if an open mind, hard work and can-do attitude is shared by all parties involved. Following extensive work between China Classification Society, Benetti and Lloyds Register who will also provide class on this yacht, we are delighted to have confirmed this new build order”.
