Horizon signs second build contract for Chinese market

Taiwanese yard Horizon had won a second new build contract to be delivered within the Chinese market.

The 36m Horizon RP120 will keep the yard busy following the launch of its first superyacht for the Chinese market — a 33m (110ft) motoryacht which was successfully sea-trialed recently in Kaohsiung, Taiwan.

"We are seeing tremendous growth in the Asia market," explains CEO, John Lu. "Our yard had seven projects currently under construction for delivery between Japan and Australia, and we are confident China will be another success for Horizon."

Founded in 1987, Horizon builds motoryachts from 14m-50m (46ft-163ft) including catamarans and expedition yachts.
