Cantiere delle Marche Adds Another 45m Explorer to Its Build List

Activity remains steady at Cantiere delle Marche, where a new 45-metre explorer has recently entered the order book. The contract follows closely after another build of similar size, reinforcing confidence in the yard’s established long-range platform.

The project carries design work by Giorgio M. Cassetta, though the latest hull will not replicate earlier examples. Instead, the configuration is being adjusted to suit a different operational brief. Changes affect the arrangement of exterior decks, interior planning and selected technical elements, reflecting a tailored approach rather than a repeat build.

The platform itself benefits from experience gained on previous deliveries in this size range. That background provides a tested engineering base, while still allowing flexibility for owner-led changes in layout and onboard use.

From a strategic perspective, securing multiple contracts around the same core concept highlights CdM’s position within the explorer segment. The yard continues to focus on robust construction combined with adaptable design solutions, aiming to balance proven capability with individual customisation.
