The maritime industry is progressively transitioning towards sustainable practices, with a significant focus on integrating zero-emission power generation systems. However alternative fuels and technologies implementation on large scale is still pending.
Ships and especially ...
For many shipbuilders, the majority of a vessel's lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions occurs during its operational phase, commonly referred to as downstream emissions. For Feadship, this challenge is particularly pronounced, with downstream emissions accounting for 94% of a super ...
In the yachting decarbonisation by 2030, multiple fuels usage provides flexibility to ocean-crossing superyachts in a scenario where alternative fuels become progressively available worldwide. Hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO) and methanol (MeOH) are selected among all sustainable ...

A methanol impact tool for yachts

Assessing the impact of using methanol as an alternative fuel on the design, emissions and costs of yachts

Superyachts are large emitters of greenhouse gases, as well as other emissions such as NOx, SOx and PM. In order to meet the climate goals set by the IMO, to reduce GHG emissions by 50% in 2050, alternative fuels are being investigated. Methanol is an altern ...

Multibody Superyachts

An energy consumption analysis of multibody concepts including battery-powered bodies

Two important trends can be witnessed in the world of superyachts. Firstly, the luxury landscape is shifting from collecting tangible assets to pursuing exclusive tailor-made experiences. The second trend is the electrification and the use of batteries on superyachts. Due to the ...
