Al Salamah is a motor yacht that was commissioned in 1998 for the Saudi Arabian Crown Prince Sultan bin Abdulaziz.[1] Built under the project name Mipos (‘Mission Possible’), the yacht was constructed by the German shipbuilder Howaldtswerke-Deutsche Werft (HDW) in Kiel, Germany, and completed at the Lürssen shipyard in Bremen, Germany.[1] Al Salamah was designed by Terence Disdale and launched in 1999.[1]
