New business agreement signed between Green Yard Kleven and Yachting Partners International

Green Yard Kleven, the Norway-based ship builders and pioneers of environmentally conscious marine technology and propulsion, have signed an agreement with international yacht brokerage and management firm Yachting Partners International (YPI).

This collaboration with YPI, through their Monaco-based, yet globally connected, sales team, brings Green Yard Kleven actively into the yacht market. Green Yard Kleven is known in the ship building and yachting industry as a mark of quality and in recent years also as pioneers in battery technology, hybrid vessels and full cycle build to recycle plans.

Hans Jørgen Fedog, CEO of Green Yard Group, commented, “We view the construction of large yachts, aka superyachts, as a highly topical market for us. The yacht brokers from YPI are experienced and have a huge network in the industry. A collaboration with them means that we can get in touch with yacht brokers, representatives and direct clients all over the world in a completely different way than if we were to do this alone.”

Northern European yacht building is considered the finest in the world, and the backdrop to the shipyard in Ulsteinvik is second to none with relatively easy access by land, air and sea. To cement the agreement, YPI’s managing partner and global sales director Peter Thompson and mutual collaborator Russell Crump visited the yard in early November.

Peter Thompson, managing partner at Yachting Partners International, said, “It was a pleasure to travel to Green Yard Kleven and see their facilities first hand. My colleague Russell Crump has been following the Kleven shipyard for several years and has always been impressed by what he has seen, a sentiment with which I can now fully concur. The Kleven name is known and respected in the superyacht world for the build of acclaimed yachts ANDROMEDA and ULYSSES and we are looking forward to delivering new projects here in the years to come.”
