من النرويج الى موناكو

Espen Oeino انولد في النرويج وتدرب مهندسا معماريا بحريا قبل ما يستقر في موناكو عاصمة عالم اليخوت. وأسس مكتبه في 1994 وشكل شركة Espen Oeino International رسميا في 2006. والاستوديو نما لفريق متعدد التخصصات من المهندسين المعماريين البحريين والمصممين والمهندسين من دول كثيرة. وهالمزيج من العمق الهندسي وموهبة تصميم المظهر تحت سقف واحد هو محور اشتغال المكتب.

وOeino تكلم عن رسمه للقوارب وهو طفل صغير، وانضباط الهندسة المعمارية البحرية يمشي في كل شي ينتجه الاستوديو. والمكتب ياخذ الجانب الصعب من التصميم، الهيكل والبنية، جنب تصميم المظهر الخارجي اللي يلاحظه معظم الناس أولا. وهالجمع يخلي Oeino ياخذ مشروعا من أول رسمة لين شكل يقدر حوض يبنيه. ويشرح كمان ليش الملاك اللي عندهم أكبر وأكثر المشاريع تقنية يميلون لايجاد طريقهم لبابه.

هندسة في بدلة جريئة

توقيع Oeino ملمح قوي وهادف ينقرا كشي متين مو رقيق. ويخوته تميل انها تحمل حجمها بثقة، وتصميم المظهر ينمو من الهندسة المعمارية البحرية بدل ما ينلصق فوقها. والاستوديو مرتاح مع الهياكل السريعة الانسيابية ومع أشكال الاستكشاف الخشنة المبنية عشان توصل مياها نايية. وهالاتساع يعني ان تصميم Oeino يقدر يبين رياضيا أو جاهزا للاستكشاف حسب البريف.

ووراء المظهر يجلس اعتقاد ان اليخت لازم يشتغل في البحر قبل ما يقدر يكون جميلا. وسلسلة Silver من اليخوت الألمنيوم الطويلة النحيفة بينت لأي مدى راح يدفع المكتب الكفاءة والسرعة. وفي أكبر المشاريع يوازن الاستوديو بين حجم داخلي هايل وملمح لا يزال يحس محلولا. والملاك ياخذون سفينة مهندسة عشان تؤدي ومشكلة عشان تمسك الانتباه على الماء.

هندسة جادة تحت بدلة قوية، بحجم قليل من الاستوديوهات تجرؤ عليه.

أسطول من المعالم

الـ Octopus بطول 126 متر، اللي سلمته Lurssen في 2003، كان المشروع اللي صنع اسم Oeino ولا يزال من أكثر يخوت الاستكشاف تميزا اللي انبنت. وSkat، من Lurssen كمان، بينت نسخة أقسى وأكثر صناعية من نفس فكرة الاستكشاف. والاستوديو رسم خارجية Serene، يخت Fincantieri بطول 134 متر اللي كان بين أكبر اليخوت الطافية عند تسليمه. وكل وحدة من هذي حملت ختم Oeino القوي بحجم قليل من الاستوديوهات تحاوله.

والمحفظة تمشي عبر Solandge وOcean Victory وKismet وCloudbreak والـ Dilbar الشاهق بطول 156 متر من Lurssen. وGalactica Super Nova جابت ملمحا حادا يبين سريعا على هيكل كبير جدا. وكثير من هذي اليخوت تجمع خارجية Oeino مع بيت ديكور رائد، وهو تقسيم عمل ياخذه الاستوديو بارتياح. والخيط الثابت هو الحجم والطموح وشكل يصمد مع الوقت.

الشغل مع الأحواض الكبيرة

Oeino بنى علاقة عميقة مع الأحواض الألمانية، وقبل كل شي Lurssen، اللي تسيطر على قمة السوق. وتسليم يخوت عند 150 متر وأكثر يتطلب مصمما يقدر يتكلم لغة باني سفن جاد. والاستوديو يشتغل عن قرب مع المالك والحوض من أبكر مفهوم، ويمسك الخط في التناسب كل ما صارت الهندسة أعقد. وهالطلاقة في البناء عند الأحواض الكبيرة جزء كبير من قيمة الاستوديو.

والمكتب متعود على ملاك يبون شيئا فريدا ومستعدين يبنونه من ورقة بيضاء. وبدل ما يكيف منصة، يميل Oeino انه يبدأ من بريف المالك ويخلي الهندسة المعمارية البحرية تتبع. وهالنهج المفصل يناسب عملاء يطلبون في أكبر الأحجام، حيث ما ينفع شي جاهز. ويعني كمان ان كل مشروع يحمل هوية واضحة بدل صيغة بيت مختومة على هيكل قياسي.

الوقوف في قمة السوق

استوديوهات قليلة تقدر تدعي عددا من اليخوت الكبيرة فعلا مثل Espen Oeino International. والمكتب ينعتبر على نطاق واسع من الأسماء الرائدة في يخوت الموتور المفصلة الكبيرة ويخوت الاستكشاف. وشغله يظهر في أعلى جداول الأحجام، وهذا يجيب هيبة وتمحيصا شديدا في نفس الوقت. وبالنسبة للملاك في هالمستوى، توظيف Oeino إعلان نية.

وتأثير الاستوديو يوصل أبعد من أسطوله هو، لأن أشكال الاستكشاف عنده ساعدت في تعميم فئة كاملة من يخوت الفخامة الخشنة. ومصممون أصغر تبعوا القالب اللي أسسه المكتب مع Octopus وSkat. وهذا الدور كصانع ذوق يجلس جنب تدفق ثابت من الطلبات الجديدة. وOeino يظل ثابتا في قمة تصميم السوبريخوت.

Lurssen, and the yards that can build this

The deepest relationship is with Lurssen, which built Skat, Octopus, Titania, Starfire, Dilbar, Amadea, Flying Fox and Luminance to Oeino drawings. Abeking and Rasmussen built the 72.5 metre Cloudbreak in 2016, Fincantieri built Serene, Oceanco built Infinity and the 111 metre DreAMBoat, and Feadship built Launchpad. Amels builds the Limited Editions range to his exteriors. Vard, a commercial shipbuilder, built REV Ocean.

That spread is worth something specific to an owner. A designer who has already been through a German yard's engineering review knows which drawings will come back marked up and which will not, and he knows how differently a Dutch yard and an Italian one price a compound curve. It also means the studio can be brought to a builder the owner has already chosen instead of steering him towards a favourite. At this end of the market only a handful of yards can take the work at all, and the designer is often the person who tells an owner which of them is honest about its order book.

The Amels route, for owners who will not wait five years

Oeino drew the exteriors for the Amels 60 and the Amels 80 in the Dutch yard's Limited Editions programme. The Amels 80 was developed over roughly two years with tank testing and computational fluid dynamics behind it and a hybrid propulsion package. The first Amels 60 was scheduled for delivery in May 2025. The hulls are built to a fixed platform, so the naval architecture, the engineering and much of the structure are settled before a buyer appears.

What the buyer still chooses is the layout below, the finishes, the tender package and a great deal of detail. What he gets in return is a delivery date measured in months instead of years and a price that is known at signature. The trade is that the exterior is the exterior, and it will be shared with other hulls in the series. For a first large yacht, or for an owner who has watched a friend endure a four year custom build, that is often the better deal.

Efficiency, and the work that is not a yacht

Silver Fast, delivered in 2015 by the Australian yard now trading as SilverYachts, is 77 metres of aluminium on a semi-displacement hull with a draft of 2.6 metres and a top speed above 27 knots. She was billed as the largest and fastest aluminium motor yacht with conventional propulsion. The Silver series as a whole was built around a long, slim, light hull that needs far less power for its length. Oeino drew all of them.

REV Ocean is the other outlier, a 194.9 metre research and expedition vessel built by Vard in Romania to an Oeino design, with an interior by H2 Yacht Design and a gross tonnage of 19,235. It is a working ship carrying laboratories and scientific equipment, and it was announced at a smaller 181.6 metres before growing. An owner ordering a long-range yacht benefits from that work directly, because the arithmetic on hull resistance and fuel burn is the same on a research ship as on a private one.

What the commission costs, and the point of no return

The design contract is a separate document from the build contract and it is signed first, so the studio is engaged and being paid months before a yard is. Work runs concept, then preliminary naval architecture and general arrangement, then contract design, which is the package yards quote against, then construction support. No studio in this directory publishes a fee scale. The one current market figure that puts a number on it is the SuperYachtReview 2026 price guide, updated March 2026, which lists the designer's fee at 1 to 5 per cent of build cost and project management at a further 2 to 4 per cent, both outside the price a yard quotes. On a build costed at EUR 100 million that band is EUR 1 million to EUR 5 million. Naval architecture and exterior without an interior sits in the lower half of it.

The gates matter more than the total. Concept and preliminary are bought in stages and can be stopped between them. A letter of intent reserves a build slot, and the yacht building agreement is the document that commits an owner to the yard and the price, as Oceanco sets out in its owner's guide published by BOAT International on 10 June 2024. The real lock-in is later and quieter. Once the yard has begun engineering to these drawings, changing studio means paying twice for the same hull form. This office does not suit an owner who wants one firm to hand over a finished boat including the interior, it is not the place for a sailing yacht, and it is not the place for a first boat under about 40 metres.

Who owns the drawings, and what happens without Oeino

The default across the profession is that the studio keeps the copyright and the owner buys a licence to build one hull. The ITIC standard trading conditions for naval architects, in the version dated 8 July 2025, put it plainly: all intellectual property created under the agreement is owned by the consultant, with the client receiving a non-exclusive royalty-free licence for the purposes of that agreement. Eric Sponberg, writing on the same point, notes that the owner of a custom yacht buys the right to build one boat and that a second hull attracts a royalty of about 1.5 per cent of its price. Superyacht practice is usually better than that, with the designer keeping title and granting an exclusive, irrevocable and assignable licence, which is what Federico Santini describes as the standard clause in Barche magazine, August 2018. An owner planning a second hull or a heavy refit should have that word exclusive in the contract, and the drawings released in native format.

The practice carries the founder's name and has done since 1994. Nothing in the ITIC conditions, and nothing in any marine standard form, says what happens if the named designer becomes unavailable in year three of a four-year build. Commercial practice elsewhere treats death or incapacity of a key person as a termination trigger and obliges the consultant to offer a replacement of equal standing for the client's approval. That clause has to be asked for. So does an escrow or step-in right over the drawing set, because a licence is worth nothing if the office that holds the files has closed. A studio of around 30 people with a formed company behind it is a better bet here than a two-person practice, and that is a real reason to prefer it.

What a name on the profile is worth at resale

Resale is the question owners are too polite to ask and it has a plain answer here. An Oeino profile helps, marginally, for a reason that has nothing to do with taste. More than 50 delivered hulls means a broker has comparables, and a comparable is what a valuation is built from. Ocean Independence, writing on 11 May 2026, puts builder pedigree at the top of the list of things that hold value and names the Northern European yards this studio works with. The exterior is also the part of a yacht that cannot be refitted away. An interior can be gutted in a season. A hull form and a superstructure profile are what the second owner inherits, which is why a heavy, purposeful shape that was never fashionable does not become unfashionable.

The offsetting truth is scale. Above 100 metres the buyer pool is a few dozen people worldwide and it thins further for ice class and long range, because those are expensive capabilities to maintain and only a certain kind of programme uses them. Denison Yachting counted 470 yachts of 24 metres and over sold in 2025, at an average 487 days on market and a median of 277, and the large end sits well above those averages. The Amels Limited Editions exteriors are the exception in this portfolio. A series boat has dense comparables and a known specification, and that is the single strongest resale position available in yachting short of a Feadship.
