The innovative electric propulsion set-up allows the creation of more interior space for the crew and guest areas on the lower deck. Another large outdoor area can be found on the aft bridge deck, which is partly covered by a bimini topped with solar panels.
The Sauter Carbon Offset Design (SCOD) has launched its new Emax Super Marine 45 yacht tender. The Emax Solar Hybrid Jet Propelled Tender is run by twin CMD TDI V6’s coupled to GM Allison Hybrid Transmissions. Each 450hp Diesel Electric Power Plant is revolutionary in the fact that it weighs no more than its gasoline equivalents while consuming 40% less fuel.
Emax Super Marine 45 Superyacht Tender by SCOD
When employed as a Zero Carbon ship-to-shore Shuttle the Emax Super Marine 45 tender relies on a 32KWh Lithium UPS to propel the Solar Hybrid boat at up to 25 knots in virtually silent electric mode. Push the throttles full ahead and the infinitely variable transmission kicks into low gear engaging the V6’s and loading the Hi-Torque RR Waterjets to deliver unsurpassed acceleration. Once on a plane the transmission selects the most economical rpm for the load at all speeds up to 80 knots.
Available from Ned Ship Group the 900hp (1160 ft.lbs of torque) Carbon Epoxy Super Marine 45 is the fastest most powerful tender in the world. Even so she is 50 to 100% Greener than other yacht tenders in her class, due to her Solar Hybrid Propulsion and the ability to store and use energy harnessed from her 4KW Photo Voltaic SunPower Solbian array.
SCOD World’s First Zero Carbon ´Emax Super Marine 45´ Superyacht Tender - Layout
The Emax Super Marine 45 utilizes Allison’s Hybrid technology, a dual mode (Series & parallel EVT) Electrically Variable Transmission that delivers the highest level of economy with the best performance. This system with years of proven reliability from Arctic to sub tropical environments is employed in thousands of Hybrid buses the world over as well as the GM fleet of Hybrid pickup trucks, the Hybrid Cadillac Escalade and surprisingly the Hybrid Bluetec S Class Mercedes Benz .
Allison’s global leadership in Hybrid Technology is underpinned by the more than $300 million dollars that they and Remy have received in US DOE grants to develop this system.
Whether shuttling passengers and supplies back and forth or embarking on an exhilarating adventure, the luxurious teak decked Super Marine 45 tender can seat up to 10 people, plus 4 sunbathers on the sun bed. Inside the cabin beneath the Solar Center Cockpit she provides a shower room with stand up head and a sumptuous double bed. For excursions there’s a kitchenette with fridge/freezer, stove, microwave and a foredeck table for setting out a buffet or having a sit down luncheon for six guests.
Richard Sauter Head of Design commented “With a top speed of 80 knots, no other Superyacht tender compares to this upper echelon of performance combined with luxury, style and versatility.”
As a jet propelled Zero Carbon recreational watercraft she is the safest and by far the most Eco Friendly boat of her kind. The EPA estimates that registered recreational boats in the USA produce a staggering 330 million metric tons of CO2 per year. Switching from gasoline to Emax Solar Hybrid propulsion can reduce that figure by over 50% thereby reducing “global warming pollution” by more than a 160 million metric tons per year.

Sauter Carbon Offset Design (SCOD) have presented their latest Green yacht project Deliverance, a DynaWing Solar Hybrid Supertanker that qualifies as the Largest and by far the Greenest Post Panamax Vessel to be built and as such the most Economical form of Crude Oil Transport to and from any part of the Globe.
Emax Deliverence VLCC DynaWing Post Panamax Supertanker
To reduce fuel consumption and GHG emissions by up to 75% this superior fluid dynamic Emax Supertanker Deliverance obtains half of her power from LNG and the other half from the latest advances in Solar and Wind Power technology.
The Emax Deliverance yacht is a 2 million barrel 330,000DWT Supertanker designed specifically for the newly enlarged locks of the Panama Canal which will accommodate vessels that have a maximum length of 1,395 ft (426m), a beam of 176 ft (54m) and a draft 59 ft (18m).
Being longer, narrower and having less draft than previous 2 million barrel VLCC’s, the hull of the yacht Deliverance produces less drag which in conjunction with twin CRP Hybrid Propulsion Pods reduces fuel consumption and GHG emissions by 35%. An additional 20 to 30% reduction is achieved with her 500,000 sq. meter DynaWing boom furling sails and another 15 to 20% reduction by her Solbian Solar power generating array. The realization of a 75% reduction is made possible by Mitsubishi’s Bubble Hull and Wartsila’s Coded LNG Hybrid power system.
Generally speaking the total Diesel Engine Power requirement for a conventional 330,000DWT Supertanker is 30MWs
By comparison the total Power requirement for the advanced 330,000DWT Emax Solar Hybrid Supertanker is 20MWs; 10MWs from LNG, 10MWs from the Sun and Wind
Emax Deliverance DynaWing Supertanker

Wartsila LLC Duel Fuel Hybrid Power equal to 10MWs
Key benefits of Wärtsilä DF engines and LLC (Low Loss Concept)
High efficiency
Low exhaust gas emissions
Fuel flexibility
Fuel economy over the entire engine operating range
Sustainable and renewable Sun and Wind power sources
DynaWing sails 4 to 8MWs.
The DynaWing is a hybrid Wingmast and mainsail combination that delivers a dynamic range of power options from a full array of sails with Wingsail emulated efficiency, to a gradual reduction of all sails culminating in Wingmast reefing.
SunPower Solbian Solar Panels up to 4MWs.
Solbian marine solar panels have the highest rated efficiency and come with a 25 year warrantee. The energy harnessed from the Sun is stored in a 5MW Lithium ion UPS to allow for Zero Carbon docking and power for all hotel services .
As a major Certified Carbon Offset Project, the Carbon Offset or reduction in GHG emissions achieved by Deliverance is 110,000 tons of CO2 per year or roughly a reduction 3 million tons of CO2 over the Supertankers 25 year service life.
Richard Sauter commented’” A Solar Hybrid Post Panamax VLCC presents us with a major win win scenario, for apart from safeguarding the planet, oil companies can look forward to savings of up to 60 million dollars a year on the purchase of fuel, which at today’s prices not only pays for the Emax Supertanker in under 4 years, but increases their earnings over her service life by over 1.5 billion US dollars.
The Cost of Deliverance yacht is approximately 15% above the cost of a conventional 330,000DWT Supertanker.
New data that enables ships and superyachts to improve their routing efficiency is being trialled with a major cruise line company. The data, provided by oceanographic data specialist Tidetech, will allow captains and deck officers to route their vessels more efficiently, saving time, fuel and money while reducing environmental impact.
Tidetechs new oceanographic data in ship-routing trial for ships and superyachts to improve routing efficiency
The scientific data can be integrated with onboard navigation systems and provides an accurate feed of global ocean currents, sea surface temperatures and wave forecasts.
Tidetech’s managing director Penny Haire said the data could potentially save shipping companies and superyacht owners thousands of dollars in fuel.
“Ocean currents and trade winds have been relied upon for hundreds of years in trade shipping,” Ms Haire said.
“Previously data was based on estimates and historical information, providing an average ocean current estimate for a given month.
“Our oceanographic scientists evaluate data from multiple sources including satellites, government agencies and observation (among many others) to establish the exact location of constantly moving currents.
“The combination of applied oceanography and meteorology can result in large bunker cost savings and in turn will help ships meet their environmental obligations.”
Tidetech’s scientific team is made up of the world foremost oceanographic experts with over 60 years combined experience at the UK’s Proudman Oceanographic Laboratory (now National Oceanography Centre). The team also includes navigators and specialists in sensor networks and data management.
“The combination of scientists and data developers means we can choose the best information available and adapt it to fit into onboard systems,” Ms Haire said.
“We’re currently running a live trial aboard several cruise liners and should have definitive results by the end of the year.”
Tidetech also supplies tactical oceanographic data to sailing competitors and is a technical supplier to the 34th America’s Cup and the 2011-12 Volvo Ocean Race.
Tidetech will be exhibiting at the upcoming METS trade show, 15-17 November, Amsterdam.
The Magellano 50 motor yacht will be on display for the first time in US at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, from October 27-31, 2011. The Azimut Magellano 50 motor yacht has enjoyed an incredibly successful year, in fact, just after the official presentation at Genova 2010 Boat Show, it has been sold in 5 continents. She is the mid-sized model in the new Magellano range, created by Azimut for all those yachtsmen who are seeking an increasingly authentic cruising experience, where love of the sea and the pleasures of boating are the starring players.
Azimut Magellano 50 motor yacht
The first 50 motor yacht that can sail continuously, everywhere, and with the greatest respect for the environment, thanks to her NMMA Certification (Class CE A approval) and, Rina Green Plus class notation. She is the first of the New Classic vessels to offer an abundance of light and large windows throughout the lower deck; and absolutely the first 50 footer to offer an outdoor salon in the bow and four alternative layouts below deck, responding perfectly to the owner’s requirements.
Below is a video of the Azimut Magellano 50 motor yacht underway.
A high level of eco-compatibility, safety, long range, easy handling and fuel efficiency, top comfort for extended staying on board and a natural exquisite taste: these are the characteristics of this innovative craft, where for the first time, modern style and seafaring tradition have come together in perfect harmony.
For many years now, Azimut Yachts has considered the quest for optimum eco-compatibility as one of its top priorities. For this reason, being the world’s first shipyard to achieve RINA Green Plus notation in the mid-sized vessel segment is an exceptional triumph for the company’s design team. The Magellano 50 meets all the requisites demanded: from her low emission engines (the Magellano 50 is powered by two brand-new latest generation 425 mHP Cummins common rail engines, with electronic fuel-consumption management) to her high-performance hull and propellers; from the anti-UV film applied to reduce heat exchange through the glass surfaces to the tracking of consumption and tank levels, with a charging and discharging log; and from the LED lighting to the infusion lamination of the principal fibreglass components, a procedure carried out in the Azimut shipyard in Avigliana, which has been awarded the ISO 14001 Environment standard certificate.
Designed to be experienced The dimensions of the external area spaces are surprising. Starting from the stern, the Magellano 50 has a cockpit partially projecting over the bathing platform with a living surface of more than 12 square yard equipped with a C bench and a table for 6 persons. Wide lateral walkways go to the bow section where a second open-air lounge area is situated. With the tender housed on the bathing platform, the whole fly bridge is at the disposal of life onboard, with a large lunch zone equipped with a mobile bar and a separate sunbathing area. The central mast, apart from supporting the antennas, accommodates a shower and the stereo speakers, whilst the base acts as added storage space.
Magellano 50 Motor yacht Salon
On the main bridge, the two sliding access doors slide on a guide that permits complete opening. The galley is positioned strategically halfway between the cockpit and the interior dinette to offer maximum convenience onboard. It is an open space environment to be lived in a family and informal way. The C-shaped sofa of the lunch area is slightly raised up and positioned to the side of the pilot’s seat to share the pleasure of navigating with the pilot.
Storage zones placed all over the bridge and an extra area of 64 US GAL has been recovered in a useful locker integrated into the ceiling. The lower deck is a masterpiece of design, and is the only one in the world offered in motor yachts of this length that allows the owner to choose between 4 options. In the spacious area between the master cabin, located midships, and the VIP cabin in the bow, it is possible to choose the studio and guest cabin configuration, or studio and second dinette, or a second dinette and guest cabin, or, finally, a studio and separate laundry area, with washer and dryer, additional storage space or an extra folding bed. This possibility of customizing the vessel strengthens the bond between the owner and his Magellano 50 yacht.
Magellano 50 Master Suite
Light reaches the lower deck through multiple openings, filtering down from the windscreen left in view and also from the large windows that are present in all environments. Also natural ventilation is ensured in each area by portholes that can be opened on both walls. The master suite is midships, equipped with double wardrobes, drawers, additional lockers underneath the bed and vanity zone and private bathroom with a large separate shower cabin. The second queen-size bed cabin, in the bow, features an incredible luminosity from a large skylight and two comfortable armchairs. Interior design: a modern timeless style
To speak of a modern contemporary style, but also timeless would seem a paradox. But the design and atmosphere created by Azimut’s Style Department for the Magellano 50 motor yacht suggests this reflection. Wood is used in profusion but without excess to avoid weighing down the environments. The essence is Canaletto walnut with vertical grain. Solid wood finishes the furniture and the tops are finished in Saffiano leather, whilst natural fibre textiles in light tints decorate and finish the seating (all covers can be removed for cleaning). The shape of the furniture suggests memories of the past without nostalgia, conferring a decisive personality but always discreet. On the lower deck is waist-high wooden panelling that decorates the bulkheads and walls of each environment.
Handrails, perfectly integrated into the furnishings, are embellished with leather inserts. The attention to the environment that permeates the whole project also influenced the choice of interior decoration where, apart from utilising natural textiles, leathers were introduced that was not treated with chrome.
On the first unit, the fabrics used for the interiors come exclusively from the collection of Loro Piana Interiors. Timeless elegance and the best natural materials (linen, cotton and cashmere) are the outstanding features of the products from this range.
The Magellano range by Azimut Yachts is the latest product of the great innovative capacity, design expertise and manufacturing technology that make Azimut Yachts a leader in the world yachting industry. A mere year since the launch of the first model, the Magellano 50 will take her place beside the larger Magellano 74 and will soon be followed by a third model in the series, with the objective of developing a Magellano range in a few short years, which is suited to the diverse requirements of owners.
The GANTO motor yacht Project is a 40m EcoYacht designed to have the lowest levels of environmental impact possible. The motor yacht GANTO Project will utilise advanced building materials with maximized recycling criteria, along with fluid dynamics studies and an environmentally sound management of the vessel, making this project the first of a new generation of unique and environmentally friendly vessels. The GANTO Project offers a technical and scientific platform to be used for different types of yachts, both sail and motor, from about 30 meters in length and above.
Motor yacht Project Ganto The First Electric Superyacht - by Floating life
Equipped with all the “green” technologies known today, which means not only highly efficient rechargeable batteries, the yacht is also equipped with photovoltaic panels, wind generators, shaft generators, fuel cells, energy consumption monitoring and energy recovery, LED lighting, and the creation of environments with “home climate” technologies: a vessel that exceeds market expectations in terms of performance and energy consumption and reflects the values of respect for the environment and beauty, both in life and while sailing, ultimately ensuring well-being understood in its broadest sense, all in the most exclusive luxury.
Motor yacht Project Ganto The First Electric Superyacht - by Floating life
Motor yacht Project Ganto The First Electric Superyacht - by Floating life (
Naval architecture and engineering for the GANTO Project was conceived by the Roberto Starkel studio in Trieste, and interior design and exterior styling is by Filippo Rossi. The propulsion technology is based on systems already employed by some cruise ships whereby a small diesel engine provides the initial power to turn over the electric motors. The full-electric main motors ensure that both vibrations and emissions are reduced to a minimum.
Starkel paid close attention to the hull’s hydrodynamic characteristics to provide an efficient, slick hull without penalising the volume of space onboard or the stability by reducing maximum beam. It is also of utmost importance to limit the weight of the yacht’s structure, systems and interiors and thus overall displacement, the highest priority of this project.
Motor yacht Project Ganto The First Electric Superyacht - by Floating life
The power systems are also designed to be modular so that upgrades can be applied as technology develops, including the use of fuel cells, without major structural alterations. Solar panels on the fly deck and aft main deck are designed to supplement power requirements.
Trinity Offshore was given the honour to receive the Harvey Gulf International Marine contract in Gulfport, Mississippi, last week, to build two 92 meter (302ft) Dual Fuel Offshore Supply Yachts powered exclusively with natural gas. The inaugural U.S. flagged LNG-powered yachts will be the first one in USA to have ENVIRO+, Green Passport Certification by the American Bureau of Shipping. These two 92m Trinity yachts will be the most eco-friendly yachts of this size. The project will need 300 employees for the next 30 months and is a very important step for Trinity Offshore’s re-entry into the Deep Water Support Vessel sector.
Luxury charter yacht Carpe Diem by Trinity Yachts
The requirements for ENVIRO+, Green Passport dictate that the yachts be continuously manned by a certified Environmental Officer. More, the yachts will be completely constructed with certified environmental materials including advanced alarms for fuel tanks and containment systems.
The implications of the Harvey Gulf contract for Trinity Yachts custom builds are numerous. By engineering technologies for natural gas powered vessels, incorporating specific design features—LNG, diesel electric, steerable z-pellers, fire fighting and more—Trinity is the first custom builder to be able to transfer this level of environmental technology to the world’s superyacht fleet.
With an abundance of the greener alternative, less-polluting natural gas, Trinity also sets its sights on realizing what the superyachting market has been requesting: the engineering and construction of a green fleet. Owners, captains and the industry will have, at long last, a green blueprint for the blue planet.
Below is an image gallery for luxury Trinity charter yachts.
VSY – Viareggio Superyachts Italian motor yacht builder responsible for the creation of such stunning vessels the 62m Candyscape II charter yacht and the 72.10m motor yacht Stella Maris, believes that the best expression of luxury and comfort is achieved in the highest respect for the marine environment on all fronts. VSY takes this seriously and thus is proud to be the recipient of strict and prestigious certifications such as the RINA GreenStar Plus Gold, ABS ES (Environment Safety) and Lloyd’s EP (Environmental Protection).
The stunning VSY motor yacht Stella Maris
The long list of features and care they put into their Total Eco-Yachts is impressive:
• wide use of recyclable materials
• redundancy also for the system of water treatment able to produce biologically transparent and odourless discharges running on 2 units
• electric auxiliary engines for use in harbour and wherever it is advisable to avoid running of the main engine, resulting in a vastly reduced environmental impact, especially in terms of noise
• a Green Anchoring system to station the yacht by dynamic positioning in those areas where traditional anchoring is forbidden because potentially damaging, for example, to coral reefs and Scandinavian fjords
• installation of last generation particle filters for the highest possible smoke reduction in the exhaust system
• recycling of the heat from the generator exhausts to produce hot water on board
• study and definition of an eco-productive maintenance system for continuous integrated monitoring (extended to post-delivery) of the eco-systems and appliances installed, providing also a dedicated ergonomic training software platform for the manning of the yacht.
This results in a simple but effective formula: Maximum Efficiency on Minimum Energy – without damage to the eco-system.
All of this is in pursuit of VSY’S essential mission: to produce a few but exclusive super-yachts, totally custom-built, innovative and technologically superlative. Simply unique yachts which fully embrace the yard’s Eco Green vision, introducing the new and exclusive concept of “deeper luxury”.
The commitment of VSY to respect the environment on all fronts goes even beyond building Total Eco Yachts. “VSY go cycling in Monaco” and “Because Forests Matter” are other simple contributions to make a better world for ourselves and next generations.

“Because Forests Matter”
VSY’s commitment to respect the environment on all fronts goes even beyond building Total EcoYachts, obtaining rigorous and prestigious international Certifications like Rina Green Star Plus Gold and ABS ES (Environment Safety).
They are aware that half of the timber harvested worldwide is used to make paper. So it is vital that everyone makes a commitment to the responsible use of the world’s resources. For this reason, to print the VSY brand-new double LP-size brochure – reminiscent of the old vinyl record sleeves – they have selected a special eco-friendly paper certified by FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) – Mixed Sources. This label ensures that the timber or fibre in the product comes from responsibly harvested and verified sources, which exclude unacceptable forestry.
FSC certification is a voluntary, market-based tool that supports responsible forest management worldwide. FSC certified forest products are verified from the forest of origin through the supply chain.
A small contribution to make a better world for present and future generations and Viareggio Superyachts‘ way to celebrate and support the International Year of Forests.
