Essence Grand Superyacht - PROJECT MILESTONE
19th Feb., 2022 - Steel Cutting Ceremony
The steel-cutting ceremony has a long and illustrious history, with its roots found in shipbuilding myth and folklore. This is an important ceremony, as it’s the first tangible step of the construction process and one of the few traditions remaining from the old days when they used traditional woods.
Following that momentous ritual, February 19th, 2022 marks a special milestone for Elegance Hospitality Group (EHG) & our partners. After many months of working during the Covid epidemic with a lot of concern, mobilizing great resources of people, intelligence, bold spirit, and speed; today, the steel-cutting ceremony of Essence Grand Superyacht solemnly held in Ha Long city, opening a new page for Vietnam's yacht industry, promising to bring visitors unprecedented luxury experiences on Ha Long Bay.
Under the witness of the group's leadership, the company's staff, and the press, Mr. Dan Do Van - Chairman of EHG - together with EHG's important partners placed the first steel plate of Essence Grand Superyacht, started the construction process of the project.
More specially, this steel-cutting ceremony not only marks the beginning of the Essence Grand Superyacht, but it also marks the strong comeback of EHG Group after 2 years of the Covid-19 epidemic crisis. During the pandemic, EHG has been constantly innovating & making efforts to overcome difficulties, true to its "Pioneer" quality.
9th Apr., 2022 - Keel Laying Ceremony
According to shipbuilding tradition, in all stages of shipbuilding, the first and most important stage is the keel laying. The structure of the keel is similar to the spine of the ship, the part of the structure that runs the entire length of the ship along the bottom, connecting stem to stern. This is the spine of the ship and from which the gongs, the ribs are attached similarly to a herringbone-like structure (the word keel also comes from this meaning).
On April 9th, 2022, at HaLong Shipbuilding Company, the Essence Grand Superyacht Keel-laying Ceremony was solemnly held under the supervision of Elegance Hospitality Group and Viet Thuan Transport Co., Ltd. (belonging to Viet Thuan Group). At the ceremony, the two corporations witnessed together the moment when the first constructed module is placed in the dock where the yacht will take form. After the “well and truly laid” Keel-laying ceremony, we wish the Essence Grand Superyacht all the best of luck in its upcoming voyage.
13th Nov., 2022 - Launching Ceremony
