Originally known as "Project Omar", the 156 metre superyacht Dilbar was launched in 2016 after over 4 years of construction.
According to her German builder Lurssen's description, Dilbar is one of the most complex and challenging yachts ever built, in terms of both dimensions and technology.
At 15,917 tons, the 156-meter superyacht features entertainment and recreation spaces never before seen on a yacht. These include a 25-meter swimming pool that holds an incredible 180 m³ of water, the largest pool ever to have been installed on a yacht.

Lurssen Reveals Superyacht DILBAR to be 'One of the Most Complex' Builds Yet

By Rebecca Bradbury 22 June 2016
Lurssen has today reported its latest delivery, the 156m/512ft superyacht DILBAR , was 'one of the most complex and challenging yachts that has ever been built, both in terms of dimension and technology.'
The German shipyard has also confirmed that DILBAR , delivered to her Owner just four weeks ago, is the world’s largest yacht in terms of volume, with a huge gross tonnage of 15,917 tons.
There has been much speculation on whether DILBAR would, in fact, take this title after the shipyard’s CEO Peter Lurssen made the claim before her launch in May.
Now it is clear she has surpassed the former record holder, the 155m/508ft superyacht ‘Al Said’ , which was delivered by Lurssen in 2008 and has a gross tonnage of 15,850 tons.
Currently on her maiden voyage in the Mediterranean , luxury yacht DILBAR also provides spaces in the interior which have never been seen on a yacht before, according to the shipyard.
Further information on her interior, however, remains shrouded in much secrecy and many are left guessing at what the celebrated British designer, Andrew Winch, has created.
Dilbar has been a big part of my life. She is truly special, culturally unique and incredibly detailed in so many ways. Andrew Winch
![my dilbar yacht luxury yacht DILBAR released from Lurssen shipyard](https://image.yachtcharterfleet.com/w512/h328/qh/ca/ow-1,d-1/ke28532e4/cms/photo/374675/dilbar-profile.jpg)
Commenting on the yacht, Winch said, “Dilbar has been a big part of my life. She is truly special, culturally unique and incredibly detailed in so many ways. We are sure that her owners will enjoy every space on board.”
Despite her mysterious interior, two other record-breaking features have been unveiled, both of which point to just how much the motor yacht has pushed the boundaries of superyacht design.
She is said to be home to the largest swimming pool to ever be built on a yacht as well as the largest electric diesel-electric power plant ever installed on a yacht, which allows her to cruise at a speed of 22 knots.
What can be observed from recently released photographs is her timeless profile designed by renowned naval architects Espen Oino, her ivory-coloured hull and her bronze finishes.

The impressive mega yacht DILBAR (ex.PROJECT OMAR) was built by German shipyard Lürssen over a period of 52 months and launched in 2016 for Russian billionaire Owner Alisher Usmanov. Constructed with a steel hull and aluminium superstructure, this 156m/512ft vessel became the world's largest luxury yacht by volume at her launch, boasting a 23.5m/77.2ft beam 15,917 GT interior spanning seven decks. The exterior styling and interiors are the work of award-winning designers Espen Oeino and Winch Design respectively, and the accommodation sleeps up to 36 guests across 20 en-suite cabins, with a crew of approximately 100 to ensure smooth operations on board.

The lower deck swim platform provides an area for guests to sunbathe beside the water as well as easy access in and out of the tenders and other water toys. Two staircases join to the deck above, where there is a viewing platform that can be laid out with chairs or sun loungers to take in the aft views.
The upper deck is the equivalent of a main deck and the C-shaped stern section is lined with seating as well as two circular corner tables for drinks and casual meals in the sunshine.
The bridge deck aft has tapered glass sides to shade from the wind of blustery days to allow guests to sit comfortably outside and enjoy the elevated aft views from the side seating.
Few details are currently known about this secretive private yacht: The interior volume is 15,917 GT and provides 3,800m²/40,902ft² of living space to guests on board.

"I once had a client who told me, “I will put your name on the side of my boat if it’s good, but if the boat is not good, your name will appear three times as big.” We were brought up with the sense that it is a very personal obligation for the family when we sign a contract to deliver a yacht that the client expects. I cannot go to a client and say “One of my guys made a mistake.” He would say “Is he Mr. Lürssen, or are you Mr. Lürssen?” But a successful delivery is also a great reward. I take the relationships of my clients very personally." - Peter Lürssen of Lürssen Yachts (courtesy SuperYachtTimes)

Ukraine invasion — explained
The roots of Russia's invasion of Ukraine go back decades and run deep. The current conflict is more than one country fighting to take over another; it is — in the words of one U.S. official — a shift in "the world order." Here are some helpful stories to make sense of it all.

Germany seizes the world's largest yacht (at least according to volume)

The luxury superyacht Dilbar sails off the coast of Monaco in 2017.
German authorities have seized the world's largest yacht by volume after determining that a Russian oligarch had transferred its ownership to his sister — who is also facing Western sanctions.
Dilbar, the yacht in question, measures some 511 feet and 15,917 tons, which shipbuilder Lurssen says makes it the largest motor yacht in the world by gross tonnage. It has two helipads and one of the biggest indoor pools ever installed on a yacht, according to the U.S. Treasury Department , which puts its estimated worth between $600 and $735 million.
![my dilbar yacht Why so many Russian billionaires are called oligarchs](https://media.npr.org/assets/img/2022/03/15/gettyimages-1239209591_sq-c8322fe842c428cf8c48ed75144685db437e7aa0.jpg?s=100&c=15&f=jpeg)
Why so many Russian billionaires are called oligarchs
The superyacht is named after the mother of its original owner: Alisher Usmanov, one of Russia's wealthiest billionaires and a known close associate of the Russian president. Usmanov was sanctioned by the U.S., United Kingdom., European Union and Switzerland in March, following Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
Germany's federal police tweeted Wednesday that it found, "through extensive investigations despite offshore concealment," that the yacht currently belongs to Usmanov's sister, Gulbakhor Ismailova. Authorities impounded the yacht, which remains at the port of Hamburg , after confirming with Brussels that its owner is under sanctions.

Ismailova was sanctioned by the U.K. on Wednesday and the EU last week. Both entities said Usmanov had indirectly transferred assets to his sister, including leaving her as Dilbar's only beneficial owner.
"The owner of the yacht 'Dilbar' is Navis Marine Ltd. (Cayman Islands), whose shareholder is Almenor Holdings Ltd. (Cyprus). All shares in that holding company are held by PomerolCapital SA (Switzerland) in trust for the benefit of 'The Sisters Trust,' " EU officials explained, adding that Usmanov has not been a shareholder of that trust company since 2017.

Ismailova has also been linked to luxury real estate in Italy and Latvia associated with Usmanov, the EU said, and therefore has "actively supported materially or financially Russian decision-makers responsible for the annexation of Crimea and the destabilisation of Ukraine."
Dilbar made headlines in early March , when Hamburg officials denied conflicting reports that they had seized the superyacht and said any such move would have to come from higher federal customs authorities.
According to Boat International, Dilbar is also the fourth-longest yacht in the world. It can accommodate up to 96 crew members as well as 24 guests in a large living space, which includes fold-out balconies, an onboard garden (with "a specifically developed variety of grass that tolerates salt air") and more than 1,000 custom-made sofa cushions.

Dilbar: 7 Facts
![my dilbar yacht my dilbar yacht](https://www.superyachtcontent.com/wp-content/uploads/angwp/items/34714/mark (1).png)
You’ve probably all heard of the yacht “Dilbar”. She is, after all, the world’s biggest yacht! Dilbar was built by Lurssen in Bremen, Germany. A feat of engineering, she is absolutely unbelievable. Just check out these stats.
![my dilbar yacht Dilbar](https://www.superyachtcontent.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/arge.jpg)
1. Dilbar has a displacement tonnage of 1230: equal to around 186 Elephants .
Your average African Bush Elephant weighs just over 6000kg. There are (more or less) 907 kg in one US ton.
So, if we know that an elephant weighs 6.62 tons, we can also conclude that Dilbar is truly as heavy as a whole load of Elephants.
2. She has a colossal amount of cabling onboard…
…1,100 km worth to be exact; which is longer than the drive from the very North to the southern-most point of France (a mere 962km). For a yacht 156m long and 23m wide, that’s seriously impressive. Ooh-la-la! ??
3. Owner & Guest living space onboard is spread over 3,800 square metres, or 104 London apartments .
According to the Guardian newspaper, the average London flat covers 46 square metres- meaning Dilbar is much, much larger than your flat (and your friend’s flats, and their parents flats, and their neighbors flats, all rolled into one).????
4. Lurssen says that the 156m Dilbar only took 52 months to build.
To put this into perspective, it took around 100,000 slaves over 20 years to build the Great Pyramid : a stone structure of average height with no diesel engines or advanced audio-visual system.
5. Reportedly, you could actually fit the owner’s previous boat ONA inside Dilbar with space to spare.
This one doesn’t need much more explaining. The owner is Russian though, so it could be that he’s playing some sort of yacht-version of matryoshka dolls… ??
6. There’s a 25m swimming pool onboard, which is the largest superyacht pool in existence.
Dilbar has a beam (width) of 23m and a draft (depth below the water) of 6m, so this pool is relatively massive! Our sources tell us that the pool is around 6m across and around 2m deep, falling to 1m at the shallow end. Therefore we can perform a variable depth calculation to find the volume- which results in an estimated requirement of 225,000 liters of water to fill the Dilbar swimming pool.
Now, a typical Shell or BP Oil Truck can hold 11,000L (see where I’m going here…?). You would need 21 Oil Trucks filled with water just to fill the Dilbar swimming pool.
What’s even more incredible is that, due to the pesky free-surface effect, this pool probably has to be drained every time the boat is moved in order to maintain stability. The watermakers onboard would have to work at an incredible speed and efficiency to get this filled in time for the owner to take a dip once the anchor is dropped!
7. You definitely wouldn’t know all of your colleagues for quite some time if you were new onboard Dilbar…
The average human (never mind a hardworking yacht crew member) consumes 2kg of food a day. This means that the Dilbar chefs cook a whopping 73,000 kg worth of crew meals a year to keep their hungry colleagues’ ship shape and ready for work.
Mind-blowing.
