"Realisation of this large-scale project definitely represents a major step forward for Bilgin."

"We may be increasing the engine order to eight units, as another contract for an 80-m vessel is on the way."

Said to be the largest vessel ever built by Bilgin Yachts, construction of the Bilgin 263 is scheduled to start in March this year and delivery is expected by 2019.

MTU Turkey managing director Ekrem Kuraloglu said: "This is an exciting and challenging opportunity for us in today’s yacht market and we very much appreciate the opportunity to collaborate again with Bilgin."

The company expects to provide the engines for the 47.6m yachts in September this year and mid-next year, whereas engines for the 80.1-m superyacht will be dispatched by later part of this year.
