Devonport to build super yacht

Devonport Royal Dockyard has won a multi-million-pound contract to build one of the world's most lavish yachts.

Dockyard owner DML says the 76-metre yacht will be big enough to carry its own helicopter, three boats and a mini-submarine. The five-deck ship will be the biggest to be built in the UK since the Royal Yacht Britannia.

Dennis Gilbert, chief executive of DML, said: "It is the latest in a series of refit, conversion and new-build contracts and puts DML centre stage as a major player in the superyacht world. It represents a valuable addition to Devonport's growing yacht build, conversion and restoration portfolio."
