An Epic Odyssey

Wherever you look you’ll find intriguing detail and captivating design. And it starts before you’ve even stepped on board. Pink Shadow’s iconic profile and distinctive hull colour set the tone for what is to come once on board. Expect the unexpected. Combining rich colours with interesting textures and incorporating eye-catching artwork, Pink Shadow is imbued with unique personality throughout. The décor was inspired by an epic adventure film set in the Amazon basin; to move through the yacht is to go on a journey in itself.

Pink Shadow Through the Lens

Designed to Stand Out

Redefining Indoor Outdoor Flow

Several areas, each one even more exciting than the last, allow relaxation, entertainment and maximum exposure to the chosen destination. Pink Shadow redefines the idea of indoor/outdoor flow – with her main deck Tahiti Plage beach club opening up on each side to create a panoramic, immersive space.

The Tahiti Plage

Whether the swim platform is used as a launch pad for the yacht’s huge collection of toys or as a setting for on-the-water barbeques, the ‘Tahiti Plage’ area gives Pink Shadow huge versatility for entertaining, while remaining in keeping with what the yacht was designed to do: to offer a unique connection with the water and unlock breathtaking destinations for her charter guests.

Ingenious Spaces

Pink Shadow’s Tahiti plage beach club has the luxury and entertainment capacity to rival even the most opulent superyachts, while maintaining the spirit of an explorer vessel. Stretching across almost half of the lower deck and with balconies that lower to extend the beam even further, this huge space is dedicated to guest entertainment, with a central bar, comfortable seating, Jacuzzi pool, as well as sunpads that are ingeniously suspended above the water by the tender cranes.

Good Vibes Only

The Amazonas deck, otherwise known as the sun deck, with its large Jacuzzi pool and surrounding sunpads, generously sized dining table and intimate bar is a relaxed place to be, offering good vibes only.

The Fitzcarraldo Deck

The cigar lounge, or Habana room, complete with bespoke humidor, is a special spot that is reminiscent of golden-age glamour while the formal dining table in the Fitzcarraldo lounge is the ultimate area for any kind of celebration.

At the Forefront of the Action

Even the bridge has distinct style, with plenty of room for guests to spend time while underway, right at the forefront of the action.

Accommodation

An escape from it all, cabin arrangement.

Principal Cabin

With a king bed, separate sleeping chamber, seating area and bathroom with steam shower.

First look inside 58m Damen SeaXplorer Pink Shadow

A first look inside the 58.3-metre SeaXplorer Pink Shadow has been offered by her central agency for charter, Y.CO . Delivered by Damen Yachting this August, the custom explorer yacht was sold during construction – allowing the owner to offer "considerable input" into her design. 

Exteriors are owed to Azure Yacht Design , with Damen Yachting completing the naval architecture. The yacht also features a number of contributions from design partner EYOS Expeditions .

Accommodation is across six main deck cabins, with the owner's cabin featuring a lounge area, a separate bed chamber and a bathroom with steam shower. There is further space for 17 crew.

Her richly-coloured, eclectic interiors are courtesy of Design Unlimited and inspired by the Amazonian adventure-drama Fitzcarraldo. The theme continues with "The Habana Room", an upper deck cigar lounge made complete with bespoke humidor. Meanwhile, a major communal space is found on the sundeck, arranged with a large dining table, Jacuzzi pool, interior bar and lounge area. "Even the bridge has characteristic style and flair", according to the broker, thanks to a crocodile teeth table and sofa. 

Fitted with a central bar, seating and Jacuzzi pool, the beach club (christened "The Tahiti Plage") nearly stretches across half of the yacht's 11-metre beam. Balconies can be opened to extend the space further, while sunpads are cleverly suspended above the water by Pink Shadow 's tender cranes. The swim platform can be used as a launch pad for the yacht’s fleet of toys (including two tenders, four Seabobs and two Jet Skis) or as a setting for "on-the-water barbecues."

"Yachts don’t get much cooler than Pink Shadow ," said Y.CO's David Price. "She makes a statement on the outside, but the guest spaces are where she really stands out - wherever you look you’ll spot another design flourish, right down to the insides of the wardrobes. We’re so proud to be announcing her as part of the Y.CO charter fleet and are confident she’ll be a hit with our clients, offering so many amazing spaces to choose from."

From summer 2024, Pink Shadow will be available for charter at a weekly rate of $510,000 USD. She was recently announced as a finalist for the BOAT Design and Innovation Awards.

Moscow hopes to become first 5G city by 2020

One of the 5G network will be a speed of 100 megabits per second for residents of large cities.

The Moscow mayor's office is in talks with a consortium of mobile operators over the possibility of developing 5G networks, the Kommersant daily reported on April 7. The government is determined to make the project an attractive investment for the operators and hopes the Russian capital will have 5G networks in 2020. 

Moscow’s telecom market is divided between four major players: Russian companies Megfon, VimpelCom, and MTS, plus European Tele2 – which entered the fray in 2015. A query from RBTH about a 5G consortium received an optimistic response from Megafon and Tele2, but VimpelCom and MTS decided not to answer. 

"The consortium may lay the foundation for the joint development of this technology by all the operators," said Konstantin Prokshin, head of strategic communications at Tele2.

The support of the authorities is important for telecom operators because such issues as equipment deployment and power supply can often be solved only with the government’s help, explained Yulia Dorokhina, head of the press service at Megafon.

2018 World Cup and rivalry with London

City of London Corp., which runs London's financial center at the municipal level, has announced its plans to switch to the 5G standard as soon as it becomes available, writes The Financial Times. The company has signed a multimillion dollar wireless Internet upgrade contract with Cornerstone, which is owned by the Vodafone and O2 telecom operators.

Global capitals will be competing with each other over which of them will become the first to switch to 5G, said Konstantin Prokshin. The pace at which new technologies are introduced suggests that Moscow can indeed become one of the leaders in the development of 5G, he added. "Moscow's mobile market is one of the most developed in the world, with a low average cost of services and high quality," Prokshin pointed out.

During the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Moscow and St. Petersburg, Megafon plans to set up 5G test zones, Yulia Dorokhina said. "One of the main advantages offered by the new network is its huge capacity. The client receives high-quality signal in places of mass gathering of people – stadiums, railway stations, traffic jams," she added.

What is known about 5G today

Exact 5G specifications are still being developed, but one of them – as identified by the Next Generation Mobile Networks alliance – will be a speed of 100 megabits per second for residents of large cities.

"So far, some disparate research experiments have been conducted. What exactly the 'fifth generation' will provide is not quite clear," said Vladimir Korovkin, head of Innovations and Digital Technologies at the Moscow School of Management Skolkovo.

He added that the focus of 5G developers is not to increase the bandwidth of the channel, but to provide a guaranteed high-speed signal and density of coverage. "Both these features are important for mass use of M2M (machine to machine) networks," Korovkin explained.

One of the crucial questions is who will be producing the technical equipment and how the link to international networks will work. For the first time, Chinese companies, in particular Huawei, are taking an active part in creating a new standard, Korovkin pointed out. For example, Megafon has successfully tested mobile data transmission at 1 Gbit/s using Huawei equipment and at 5 Gbit/s during network equipment tests with the Finnish company Nokia, Dorokhina said.
