Horizon to complete Drettman contracts
Horizon(赫淶森集團)中止與德國代理商Drettmann的合約關係
Leading Taiwanese superyacht builder, Horizon Group, is using the Monaco Yacht Show to find a new European distributor to replace the Drettman Group which entered voluntary liquidation in May.
台灣超級遊艇的建造龍頭公司，赫淶森(Horizon)集團，於今年(2010)的摩洛哥遊艇展中(Monaco Yacht Show)，尋找新的歐洲代理經銷商，以取代在五月份時被強制以「自願清算」處理公司債務的原德國代理商Drettmann集團。
James Fwu, general manager of Horizon's Premier Yacht Co division, told SB: "We have taken the booth that Drettman had last year at the Monaco Show under the Horizon name and have appointments with several brokers to discuss European representation."
赫淶森集團分公司，Premier Yacht船廠副總經理，James Fwu，向SB說明：「在去年(2009)的摩洛哥船展中，我們即以赫淶森(Horizon)集團的名義取得參展席次，Drettmann則依附於Horizon名下共同參展，參展期間我們與多位代理經銷商商討未來歐洲的代理權。」
SB understands that Horizon was left with at least four yachts contracted by Drettman when the company entered liquidation. Three (110ft, 130ft and 148ft) are being built at Premier Yacht Co. The 110ft has been sold to a Chinese client and the 130ft to a Russian buyer. The original purchaser of the 148ft wanted his money back so Horizon decided to complete the yacht while looking for a new buyer. She will be delivered next year.
據了解，Drettmann在進入公司債務清算的期間，赫淶森(Horizon)集團尚有4艘遊艇是早先即與Drettmann簽約建造的。其中三艘即是由Premier Yacht船廠所建造的遊艇，尺寸分別為110呎、130呎、148呎。
110呎的遊艇已售出，買家是位中國客戶；130呎遊艇的買家則是位俄羅斯客戶；而原訂購148呎的買家則中止了購船合約，赫淶森集團決定繼續建造此148呎遊艇直到完成，並於建造期間另尋新買家，預計該船將於明年完成建造並交付予新船主。
With the downturn in the US market which has previously accounted for more than half of Horizon's sales, the group is expanding its marketing activity to attract buyers from new markets.
雖然曾經佔有赫淶森集團(Horizon)一半以上銷售的美國市場經濟依舊低迷，然而赫淶森集團仍持續擴大其行銷活動，以吸引新市場買家的注意。
At a recent open day held in Kaohsiung the company highlighted a number of new designs including an 80ft catamaran and a 110ft explorer yacht.
赫淶森集團(Horizon)最近在台灣高雄舉辦了規模盛大的遊艇新品發表會，會中展示了多種全新設計的遊艇新品，當中包括一個80英呎雙體船和110英呎長征探險型遊艇。
"The new order position is difficult," Fwu told SB, "but we are talking with a number of possible buyers in France, Croatia and Russia."
「在目前正處新秩序的遊艇經濟市場，要取得一席之地確實不容易」，James Fwu說，「但我們目前仍積極與世界各地潛在買家，如法國、克羅埃西亞、俄羅斯等國，持續洽談新訂單中」
