Super explorer refit:

Inside the 58m pangaea ocean explorer.

The 58-metre expedition yacht Pangaea Ocean Explorer successfully completed an extensive refit at Rivergate Marina & Shipyard in Brisbane, Australia, in February 2021. With the complete list of works including two new Zenoro 200 kW main generators as well as Xeamos IMO Tier III compliant exhaust after-treatment systems, Pangaea Ocean Explorer is leading the way in increasingly eco-friendly yachting. Here we take a look inside the refit.

Explorer yacht refit The 58.22m Trinity Yachts designed M/Y Pangaea Ocean Explorer is a state-of-the-art deep-water marine research vessel built at Halter Marine in the United States in 1999. With the vessel arriving at Rivergate Marina in December 2020, Xeamos’ official dealer Maritime Professional Solutions (MPS) undertook an Australian-first generator installation aboard the high-tech scientific research vessel as part of a massive refit project over three months.

The installation involved two new Zenoro 200kW main generators and Xeamos IMO Tier III compliant exhaust after-treatment systems with DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) and SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) – the very first installation of its kind in Australia.

The complex scope of works undertaken on Pangaea Ocean Explorer impacted most of the vessel’s systems, covering engineering, fabrication, painting, electronics installation and plumbing. Other works included a new 96kw emergency generator and Hamann sewage treatment plant. In addition to the new generators, Kongsberg Multibeam sonar systems were installed to allow the crew to perform hydrographic surveys in shallow waters or deep-water trenches, along with a gondola fixed in the underside of the hull which will be used in deep-sea observation and data collection.

IMO Tier III requirements

 Zenoro is the world leader in custom superyacht generators. Their collaboration with Xeamos exhaust treatment systems made it the logical turnkey solution for the highest quality generator systems that meet International Maritime Organisation Tier III requirements for emissions.

“In 2016, IMO Tier III requirements came into effect,” explains Joel Allingham, MPS Director. “This means any new builds or generator refits are required to meet IMO Tier III requirements if the vessel wishes to enter any of the IMO ‘Emission Control Areas, which includes areas in the North American Pacific and Atlantic Coasts, the Caribbean and the Mediterranean. These requirements are met by installing exhaust after-treatment systems that incorporate SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction). The Zenoro generators installed in Pangaea Ocean Explorer were equipped with Xeamos exhaust treatment systems that included SCR. The Zenoro generator systems power the entire vessel and really are the beating heart of the ship. Therefore, it is important to have the highest quality and most reliable systems in place.”

Xeamos & Zenoro: Rising to the challenge

Several challenges were impacting this ground-breaking installation, but the main issue was space in the engine room. “The owner wanted the installation to be as neat as possible while maintaining serviceability and functionality,” Allingham continues.

“With the inclusion of the Tier III exhaust treatment system, the overall unit size increases. Once assembled, the dimensions of the generators were 2850mm long x 2100mm high x 1210mm wide. “To ensure everything would fit without major modifications to the base structure and engine room layout, we made a 3D model of the engine room and the proposed installation so that the customer could see the final installation and make any required changes or requests prior to the installation commencing.”

Once the go-ahead was given, the team from MPS had to disassemble the generators into sections to allow the machinery to be installed through the aft engine room door, which was only 800mm wide. “Custom girder trolleys and a gantry system had to be designed, manufactured, and installed into the engine room to allow the machinery to be moved around the machinery space. To add to the complexity, the works were all carried out in the water, so everything was transported and lifted onto the vessel by way of barge crane.”

Eco-yachting: the Flourishing Ocean Initiative

Quiet and clean power generation is not just driven by legislation, however. Owners, yacht crew and industry, are all proving a larger and larger appetite for a cleaner and healthier environment. Pangaea Ocean Explorer and her crew are committed to finding strategies to address overfishing, the dumping of plastic, rising sea temperatures and CO2 levels, and supporting the sustainable use of ocean resources and conservation of critical habitats.

The explorer is also a pioneer of the Flourishing Ocean initiative. This initiative aims to engage the best science and latest technologies to halt damage to the ocean’s delicate ecosystems and support initiatives towards its recovery. Boasting high-tech gear, including a dive set up, underwater drones, water sampling equipment and a broadcast suite, Pangaea Ocean Explorer is undoubtedly well equipped to rise to the challenge.

Andrew “Twiggy” Forrest’s Yacht ‘PANGAEA’ Spotted In Sydney Harbour

A superyacht owned by Aussie mining magnate and philanthropist, Andrew ‘Twiggy’ Forrest, has been spotted at anchor in Sydney Harbour this week.

The second-richest person in Australia, according to last week’s AFR Rich List (with a net worth of AU$23 billion), owns and operates the 58.2-metre (191ft) explorer yacht ‘PANGAEA’, which is titled after the supercontinent that included all the landmasses before the Triassic separation circa 230 million years ago.

With a beam just short of 11-metres, the yacht can host 12 guests across six suites spread over four decks, with living areas throughout the vessel that resemble a private member’s club.

Each suite is named after a different continent, and some feature walk-in closets and well-appointed ensuites with marbled baths and old-world cabinetry.

PANGAEA is a go-anywhere, do-anything class of explorer yacht with a mighty steel hull and twin 1000-horsepower Caterpillar diesel engines that can take the vessel to a cruising speed of 11 knots and cover a range of 12,000Nm.

Check out the yacht in all its glory below (or keep an eye out for it yourself around the Mosman area of Sydney Harbour), then read up on the top 10 placeholders on the AFR Rich List for 2020 .

Pangeos The Terayacht: World's Largest Floating City

By Heather Collier

Double the size of the Roman Colosseum, Pierpaolo Lazzarini returns with a new, monumental £6.8 billion terayacht concept. The turtle-shaped vessel known as 'Pangeos' is expected to be 550m long and 610m at its widest point. If achieved, this terayacht would become the largest floating structure ever built.

At its peak, Pangeos would be capable of hosting up to 60,000 guests; a floating city for ultra-high-net-worths.

Guests can unwind by staying in one of the many hotels, exploring its plethora of shopping centres, parks, beach clubs, resorts, as well as ship and aircraft ports, according to Italian design studio Lazzarini.

In recent years, Lazzarini has made a name for itself for conjuring up some of the industry's most daring, out-of-this-world concepts, including vessels that can fly, ginormous on-board garages and futuristic ships that push the boundaries of imagination.

They hope the ambitious scheme dating back to 2009 will soon become a reality following an NFT-related crowdfunding initiative to sell virtual spaces on the watercraft. If achieved, the project is said to take a jaw-dropping eight years to build.

Lazzarini have hinted that the vessel would have its very own shipyard built specifically for its creation, and would be launched out of Saudi Arabia.

" A Terayacht needs a Terashipyard ," the designers said. " The conception of a similar-sized vessel, involves the realisation of a specific shipyard/dam infrastructure that floods to levitate the terayacht when it will be launched."

" The imagined Terashipyard infrastructure is 650 metres wide and 600 metres long, providing direct access to the sea. "

With 30 metres of draft, the ship's enormous hull is made up of nine different bows and subdivided into several blocks. The structure also boasts a giant gate aft that allows vessels to enter this floating metropolis.

It would be powered by nine high-temperature superconductor (HTS) engines, each fully electric motor capable of a mind-blowing 16,800hp and powered by various onboard energy sources.

The design team also claim it would be able to use "wings" to cruise without expending too much energy, making this super-structure highly eco-conscious.

" Pushed from a jet drive transmission, the tera-structure will be able to cruise at a speed of five knots ," Lazzarini said.

" While sailing, the large wings will gain energy from the breaking of the waves and Pangeos will cruise perpetually without emissions around the planet Earth's seas.   Further, the rooftop area is lined with solar panels, which provide part of the necessary clean energy to power the terayacht ."

In terms of accommodation, guests will be able to stay in a wide variety of luxury residences, from apartments and houses to "super villas" and royal palaces.

" The virtual spaces of the watercraft can also be purchased under an NFT collection, and users will be able to collect certain content and access the virtual properties with their credentials ," Lazzarini said.

Similar credentials will also be used as a property deposit in case of real construction.

" The terayacht proposal takes its name from Pangea, the supercontinent that existed millions of years ago during the late Paleozoic and early Mesozoic eras ," Lazzarini adds.

Twiggy Forrest’s superyacht in Bundaberg waters

Twiggy Forrest's superyacht, the Pangaea Ocean Explorer, is currently off the Bundaberg Region coast near Moore Park Beach.

The Marine Tracking website shows the research vessel arrived in the area yesterday and is reportedly heading to Brisbane.

Mining magnate Twiggy Forrest is ranked in the top 10 richest Australians .

Pangaea Ocean Explorer is a 58.22 motor yacht , delivered in 1999. Her top speed is 13 knots and she can accommodate up to 12 people.

The vessel is involved with Minderoo Foundation's $100 million “ Flourishing Oceans ” initiative to help study and protect global marine life.

“We need to recognise from a recreational and business perspective, not just an environmental perspective, that looking after our oceans is a vital duty we owe to our children and grandchildren,” Mr Forrest said in 2018.

Flourishing Oceans was intended to track global fishing patterns, fund research into ocean plastics pollution and develop a world-class research facility at Exmouth to study the migration of sea life through the Indian Ocean.

It's not known why Pangaea Ocean Explorer is currently on the east coast.

Andrew “Twiggy” Forrest’s Superyacht “Pangaea” spotted in Mosman – and we’re going to need a bigger boat!

What is Twiggy Forrest’s superyacht doing in Mosman?

That’s the question we’re asking today, after eagle-eyed residents noticed the luxury 60 metre beast anchored off Bradleys Head on Tuesday.

Called “Pangaea” and built in 1999 by US shipyard Halter Marine, the almighty expedition yacht arrived in Sydney Harbour over the weekend and has been seen bobbing around the sparkling waters off Taylors Bay and Whiting Beach.

There has been no sign of Mr. Forrest, the second richest person in Australia, who operates ‘Pangaea’ for marine research as part of his Minderoo Foundation.

With a beam of 11 metres, the vessel sails under the Jamaican flag and is registered to the port of Montego Bay.

Guests of Mr. Forrest can spread themselves over the yacht’s five decks, and 7000sqm of internal living space that rivals any world class hotel.

Six luxury suites, each named after a different continent, boast walk-in wardrobes, flat screen TV’s and ensuites with marble baths.

The Master bedroom is located on its own private deck.

With a cruising speed of 11 knots (thanks to its twin 1000 horsepower diesel engines), ‘Pangaea’ is described as a “go-anywhere, do-anything” class of explorer yacht, on the Charter World website.

A fully equipped gymnasium, with exercise bikes, elliptical machine, spa, steam room, aerobics and weight stations are also made fully available to guests during a stay on board ‘Pangaea’.

“Wherever you are aboard this stately ship, you are guaranteed to enjoy your voyage – and with 12 crew to cater to your every need you will return to home base feeling pampered and refreshed.”

Pangaea Exploration

travel the world, learn to sail

Click Here to View Current Sailing Trips!

Pangaea Exploration operates worldwide adventure sailing voyages and sail training to the public. We offer a superb platform and excellent crew to guide you across the globe.

Have you been dreaming of crossing an ocean? Imagining lounging on the white sand of a remote island or atoll? Are you passionate about rare wildlife encounters? Want to escape the cyclical norms of modern day travel? Do you simply want to learn to sail while having the adventure of a lifetime? If you answered yes to any of these questions, adventure sailing is indeed for YOU! Our guest ratio is usually mixed different backgrounds, such as sailors looking for a bit of blue water, and every day adventurers who have never stepped foot on a boat. We love this balance! Voyages range in length between 1 and 4 weeks, in other words, perfect for immersion into sailing life. From coastal cruising and exploring islands, to crossing oceans and learning celestial navigation, above all, we offer variety.

Our Mission

At Pangaea, we strongly believe in the importance of connecting people with the sea. Feeling that if given a chance to truly spend time on the ocean, people will feel more connected to the sea and want to protect it. With this in mind, we offer worldwide adventure sailing opportunities to passionate travelers ranging from complete beginners, to experienced sailors.

Our Crew & Experience

We’ve operated Sea Dragon throughout the Atlantic and Pacific for over 10 years! During that time, we’ve built an excellent reputation for safe, effective, and efficient worldwide adventure sailing voyages. Our experienced crew has covered tens of thousands nautical miles! Having developed a strong background in sailing education, and also skills to effectively and safely sail anywhere in the world, our crew are excited to have you on board and share their knowledge.

In our historical work as a research vessel, we have worked with some of the world’s leading researchers and institutions. Work conducted on board has spanned from microplastics to coral, water sampling to whales. We were an integral part of discovering the existence of microplastic pollution in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans! Additionally, we’ve supported many diving trips and aided in the finding of un-charted seamounts off the coast of Brazil. Moreover, we’ve helped in the search for Pacific “super reefs”, and acted as a film platform for television programs on humpback whales and marine toxicology. We’ve also spent time in fresh water, sailing to the center of the North American continent through the Great Lakes! Sea Dragon has quite a lengthy and impressive resume.

We sail throughout the world’s oceans aboard Sea Dragon, our 72ft expedition yacht. Sea Dragon was built as one of twelve steel ships for the British Steel Global Challenge (Hull CB 37), the toughest yacht race in the world. She has circumnavigated the world twice (both times upwind in the Southern Ocean) as CB37 before being renamed as Sea Dragon with Pangaea Exploration. Sea Dragon has gone through extensive refits to become more suitable as a liveaboard adventure, teaching, and research platform. However, she maintains her true rugged heritage. She’s capable of carrying 15 people on unsupported voyages, up-to two months in length, in any of the world’s oceans! Maybe we’re biased, but we’re impressed by her every day.

Restaurant-Yacht Chaika

Ratings and reviews, location and contact.

Pleasantly surprised, service is good so is the food. Great selection of Fusion food, a mixture of Italian, Japanese, European, Asian etc. A pleasantly nice dining experience, highly recommended, a must try!

Thank you for your feedback and invite you to have lunch or dinner again aboard the ship in an atmosphere of high standards of yacht hospitality.

everything was perfect - the food, the service, the desserts were the best, nice atmosphere and the location - magical

Best food, best view in Moscow. absolutely faultless from arrival to finish. Best risotto i had for many years absolutely perfectly cooked. The view on Ukrainian hotel and the white house by night is amazing

Had to wait for the food for 1.5 hours and then another 20 minutes for the check. Finally called for the manager and he offered... a 10% discount as a compensation. Simply pathetic! The food is mediocre at best. Not bad per se, but one... would expect something better considering the prices. There are many places to eat in area that are much better. Avoid this one at all costs.

Hello, Alexander Your comment is extremely important for us, thank you a lot for it. We are terribly sorry for your time that you`ve spent waiting your order and we have already taken actions to improve quality of our service and it would be realy... More

Food is very expensive,very pretentious, doesn't worth that money. Portions are very small. We ordered ravioli and there were 4! Four raviolis! For almost 15 euros. Then we asked to bring us dessert menu but nothing, they didn't even bothered, so we payed and left... without dessert. Very poor service for that price. More

This is a very good restaurant. The food is really good, maybe the best in Moscow. The service is also good. The view from the restaurant is great. The prices are very high.

I often visit this restaurant and must say it’s one of the best in Moscow in terms of quality and service. Staff really try hard to make sure that you are happy and satisfied. Customer service is a huge problem in Moscow but Chaika sets... a great example for others in the industry! Food is delicious and the menu has lots of options for everyone! Atmosphere is great and view is beautiful on the embankment. Special thanks to German & Oleg! More

Thank you for your feedback! Again aboard the yacht restaurant "Chaika" in accordance with the high standards of yacht hospitality.

Highly recommended, great location in the city center of Moscow with a superb atmosphere. Too many menu choices, though all delicious!

Thx a lot for your review! We are looking forward to see you in our restaurants.

Visited this lovely restaurant with a friend of mine. It was relaxingly warm August evening - so the place on the river seemed like a good idea. We came quite early and the restaurant was not full. The hostesses kindly offered several places to sit... and we chose to sit on the sofas. We had some wine, which was good. We struggled a bit when deciding about the food as few options (scallops) were not available. Fish on ice on display did not look very fresh. To be honest it was an unusually hot August and it is probably understandable that some see food options were not available. However, we did manage to order something and sat waiting and looking onto the river. My long-legged friend struggled sitting at the low sofa and the manager noticed that, offering as a very good, proper table beside the open window. It was nice touch and I was very pleased by their polite observations and immediate reaction to solve the problem. Food was quite good and presentation was perfect. Perhaps I can something about the food, but 1 visit is not enough to criticize or make a definitive opinion. Overall, quality place, which of course, does not come cheap. I would recommend this restaurant without hesitation. More

Good afternoon! Thank you for your detailed feedback! We are looking forward to seeing you again, we are sure that you will be delighted with our dishes!

I've been here several times during two business trip in Moscow. The overall quality for both service and food is absolutely top-notch, plus the location is very unique.

Hello! Thank you for your feedback! We are looking forward to visiting again!

Located on a boat at Krasnopresenskaya River Bank this 5 Star Restaurant transforms into a party location due to multiple groups hosting events. Impressive wine selection, Asian and European kitchen...

Thx a lot! We are waiting for you!

It is a nice place to gather specially at the lounge The service and staff very good I like the river view The food is almost like all restaurants in Russia they serve different cuisine. Staring Russian appetizer till Asian dishes Presentation and taste amazing... I consider it overpriced little bit More

Good location. Nice views. Good choice of food and drinks. European and Asian menu. Nice service. Pricey enough.

Had a large group dinner here. Food was above average and service quite good. The real attraction is the view of Moscow from the river on a nice night. Great place for a larger group dinner. More

Hello, John We are really pleased by reading that you and your friends were satisfied by our service, client`s experience is the highest value for us. We will be happy to see you again, come and enjoy some new dishes from our chef and nice... More

The luxurious atmosphere of this place, the view and the location make it quite outstanding. We had dinner here with friends and the dishes were amazing, accompanied by a chilled bottle of Chablis, it really made me feel as if it was a part of... the classic Russian movie. More
