 HYBRID PROPULSION SYSTEM

Take your leisure to the next level with quiet, clean and intelligent solutions.  

About Hydrid System

The advanced hybrid systems enables you to sail at normal cruising speed with a traditional Diesel engine as well as allowing you to sail in protected marine areas with zero emissions and in ports or marinas where silence and reduced pollution are well appreciated. The parallel hybrid systems is the result of extensive research and provide an integrated power and propulsion solution. During inshore navigation the silent propulsion enhances enjoyment of the landscape and, when anchored, there is no need to keep the engine running to use on-board facilities, thus avoiding disturbing the calm of the surroundings.

Advantage of the Hybrid propulsion

  • Significant savings on fuel consumption

  • Drastically reduce main engine and variable speed generators running hours

  • Savings on scheduled maintenance

  • Our hybrid yacht propulsion system is maintenance free. Only the dedicated water cooling pumps require service

  • Higher resale value of your vessel

  • Our hybrid system is maintenance-free. Only the dedicated water cooling pumps require service

  • Permanent magnet technology of the electric engines and alternators: lightweight + power on-demand

  • Traditional diesel direct shaft propulsion remains unaltered

  • Fuel consumption is reduced up to 30% in Economy Navigation Mode

  • Long-range destination transfer by your crew at the lowest cost

  • Reduce engine running hours on propulsion engines and generators

  • Fast batteries charging: 90% charge in only 35 min. or less

  • International worldwide shore power compatibility

  • Increased performances through Power Boost Mode

Improve the Quality of Life On Board

  • Avoid waking sleeping guests in cabins by turning on diesel engines. Silently depart to your destination in Electric Zero-Emissions Propulsion Mode.

  • Full electric navigation in the medium range - or with the push of a button - switch to Hybrid Navigation Mode

  • After mooring, turn off your generators and run your yacht on battery power

  • In zero pollution, enjoy the peaceful sound of the sea instead of the hum and vibrations of the generators

  • Zero-Emissions Hotel Mode enhances the enjoyment of your favourite place on board: the swimming platform and aft deck

  • Play and swim in the sea behind your yacht without noxious exhaust fumes and noise from generators

  • The hybrid motor yacht becomes as silent as a sailboat while cruising in Diesel-Electric and Zero-Emission Mode

  • Silent fishing/trolling in Full Electric Mode. Reel in your fish without breathing noxious exhaust fumes. Enjoy the sound of the ocean while fishing

  • Noise-free dining and guest entertainment, even while cruising

  • Reduce environmental exhaust and water pollution

  • Drastically reduce your vessels yearly CO2 emissions

The World is Going Electric

The System

1. Full-Diesel Traditional Propulsion

  • In this mode, the yacht can be operated traditionally, even if the hybrid system is off: both in hardware and software.

​

2. Diesel-Electric Navigation Mode

  • Main diesel engines are off

  • Variable speed generators produce electrical power to operate the electric motors

  • Top comfort medium/long range navigation

​

3. Zero-Emissions Navigation Mode

  • All the internal combustion engines are off

  • Only the high voltage batteries supply power to the electric motors and to the Hotel Load

  • Zero noise while cruising

  • Zero pollution

​

4. Economy Navigation Mode

  • Only one main diesel engine is on

  • The engine supplies power to the system through the alternator mode of the electric engine

  • Both shafts are operative as one is powered by the main diesel engine and the second one by the electrical motor

  • In this mode, the electrical power for propulsion, Hotel Load, and the battery charge is generated by the shaft alternator

  • Both the generators can be switched off

  • Measured overall fuel savings up to 30%

  • Engine running hours drastically reduced

​

5. Power Booster Mode

  • The electrical motors and the diesel engines are working together on the same shaft

  • Increased acceleration up to 25% or more (depends on the hull trim)

  • Top speed Increased up to 3.5 knots

  • In this operation mode, both main diesel engines and all gensets diesel engines are working at 100% load

6. Cruising Booster Mode

  • The electrical motors and the diesel engines are working together on the same line shaft

  • In this operation mode, both main diesel engines and all gensets diesel engines are working at 80% load (continuous rating)

  • Increased cruising speed to the top speed of a traditionally operated yacht

​

7. Hotel-Load Zero-Emissions Mode

  • Lithium-ion batteries supply energy for all of the electrical systems of the yacht

  • At anchor, the yacht is fully operative up to 12 hours with all the diesel engines off

  • Top comfort

  • Zero noise

  • Zero pollution

​

8.International Shore Power and Plug-in Battery Charge Mode

  • While at the dock, the hybrid yacht has worldwide electrical shore power compatibility and charges the Lithium-ion batteries

  • No need for extra shore power converter

  • Save fuel for the next day at anchor

​

9. Generator Fast-Charge Mode

  • Main diesel engines are off 

  • Variable speed generators operate at high speed to provide the power for a fast charge of the batteries and hotel load

  • Batteries will reach 90% charge in as little as 30 minutes

​

10. Navigation Fast-Charge Mode

  • Main diesel engines are on

  • Variable speed generators are off

  • The electric motors attached to the main diesel engines generate the power for the hotel load and charge the batteries to 90% in as little as 30 minutes
