Super Yacht Makes Double Collision at Genova Old Harbour

A 32 meter super yacht titled m/y Claremont was filmed and then shared on social media as it made a double collision at Marina di Porto Antico in Genova, Liguria, Italy on the afternoon of Sunday 25 July.  Claremont was filmed as first it collided on two moored small ribs while going astern, and then went forward and crashed on a pontoon with its bow.  In this collision the yacht is also reported to have cut a cable.  No one was injured in the collision, as the Guardia Costiera is investigating the incident, although a thesis is that the yacht had gearing malfunction during the manoeuvring operation.  

Motor yacht Claremont is a custom VBG Super Yachts Catodon 103, build in Yalova, Turkey in 2009 to a fully inhouse design.  Build in cold moulding, wood shell and then covered in fiberglass and epoxy Claremont was also VBG first and smallest yacht to date, as this was followed by two larger fully custom yachts of forty meters in 2010 and a 39 meter in 2015.
