Sunseeker Agrees Expansion Plans at Osprey Quay, Portland UK
POOLE, England, March 14/PRNewswire/ -- Sunseeker International Limited has agreed outline terms with US-based Luhrs Marine for the purchase of its Legend Yacht manufacturing facilities at Osprey Quay, Portland on the UK's South Coast. The site will be acquired to accommodate Sunseeker International's planned expansion with a licence to use the facilities immediately, and production starting as soon as the purchase is complete.
With demand for Sunseeker motoryachts growing year on year, specifically for the larger models, the need for more waterside production space has been an important issue for Sunseeker. With further investments being made at the company's shipyard headquarters in Poole these new facilities will allow Sunseeker to meet future demand.
Sunseeker's largest model to date, the 37 metre tri-deck yacht, launched at the London International Boat Show in January 2007.
