The RINA Conference which is sponsored by ABS and Dessault Systemes was held at the Galata Museum at the port of Genoa last week. Papers were presented by universities, designers and key maritime organizations. Discussions were focused on the environmental and marketing trends that are affecting the design, construction and operation of Superyachts.  All the papers with Power Point presentations will be published and made available by RINA at a future date.

Richard Sauter, head of design at Sauter Carbon Offset Design commented, “The Ocean Empire Life Support Superyacht  directs naval architects and the shipbuilding industry to the 10 basic steps that will place the Post Carbon Superyacht at the forefront of mankind’s inevitable Post Carbon Future”

These steps apply to Every type of vessel, Multi and Monohulls alike.

Minimum performance standard,

Maximum Speed 22 Knots.

Cruising Speed 18 Knots.

Carbon Neutral Cruising Range at 18 knots; 5 to 10,000 Nautical miles.

Richard Sauter’s RINA Power Point Presentation concludes that the only form of hi-performance Post Carbon transportation that is truly possible, is a Post Carbon Superyacht that harnesses every bit of the collective maritime resources derived from the sun, wind, waves and currents at sea.”
