Every day there are more and more projects that are aimed at conquering the expanses of water. Basically, we focus on cruise ships, ports and shipyards. But there are other ones too!

Why Pangeos? The name of the floating city was given for a reason. Pangeos "derives its name from Pangaea, a supercontinent that existed millions of years ago during the late Paleozoic and early Mesozoic eras."

Dina: 550 meters
Width: 610 meters

- In the "wings": 19 villas and 64 apartments;
- Residential complexes and villas with terraces in the central part;
- Helipad and platforms for landing other aircraft;
- Roof garden;
- Big mall;
- Beach club;
- Terashipyard area providing direct access to the sea (650 meters long and 600 meters wide);
It is also known that the megayacht will be powered by 9 HTS engines with a capacity of 16,800 hp. Each of the engines will develop a maximum speed of 5 knots (9.2 km/h).
Will work only on renewable and environmentally friendly energy sources (solar, water, etc.)
