Tognum present its MTU Series 2000 marine engine in Cannes

September 06, 2011

Tognum will be presenting its state-of-the-art MTU Series 2000 marine engine at ‘Festival de la Plaisance’ – the Cannes boat show taking place from 6-11 September (stand JAS-027 on Albert Edouard Sud jetty). Also featuring at the show will be MTU’s automation and service solutions for the yacht sector.

The Series 2000 M94 marine engine boasts the highest performance values in its class and an improved power-to-weight ratio. An increase of up to 8 percent in power output has been achieved over the previous model. Available in 8, 10, 12 and 16-cylinder versions, the engine covers the 930 to 1,940 kW range at 2,450 rpm.

With respect to fuel consumption at cruising speed and generation of higher charge pressures at lower rpms, turbocharger performance has been enhanced – key to shortening acceleration time on seagoing vessels. On top of that, the unit meets all emissions standards applying to marine engines worldwide and comes automatically equipped with a SOLAS (Safety of Life At Sea) certificate. To ensure that the surface temperature of the engine never exceeds 220°C, the M94 also features double-walled fuel lines and triple-walled, water-cooled turbocharger and exhaust gas lines. That helps keep the temperature in the engine room relatively low, which in turn enhances comfort and safety. The M94 is also an exceptionally quiet engine, boasting extremely low sound pressure levels when idle or at low speeds.

Also featuring in MTU’s tradeshow presentation is ‘Blueline’ – the standard ship automation system for monitoring and control of MTU‘s Series 2000 and 4000 propulsion systems. The system is suitable for different propulsion configurations such as fixed pitch propeller (FPP) or water jets.

Not only its engines, but also its service makes MTU a partner that the customer can count upon. The MTU ValueCare package includes a longer warranty (EPC: Extended Propulsion Coverage), which allows the customer to cover himself financially against unanticipated repairs. Other service offerings include tailor-made maintenance agreements, remote troubleshooting and swift, reliable supply of high-quality, genuine MTU-brand spares.

  • • MTU Series 2000 engines with higher power outputs and improved power-to-weight ratio
  • ‘Blueline’ ship automation system for vessel control and monitoring
  • MTU ValueCare for all-round service

Cantiere delle Marche launch innovative website and the new Darwin Class Yacht series “The Evolution of Species”

September 05, 2011

On the opening eve of the acclaimed Festival de la Plaisance in Cannes , the Italian shipbuilder Cantiere delle Marche announces the launch of their new and innovative website, which can be viewed online as of today.

The operation comes in conjunction with the debut of the Cantiere delle Marche shipyard in Cannes. A beginning that sees the first model of its new yacht line Darwin Class as a protagonist: a type of vessels that heralds an advance in the evolution of a species, namely the yacht, which, although it modifies its form, keeps its DNA unchanged, maintaining all the chromosomes that allow it to satisfy its owner’s seagoing yearnings in waters anywhere in the world.

A species as yet unknown: that is how Charles Darwin would have described it, had he found himself face to face with a brand-new species just waiting to be discovered and studied. The evolution of the species is the fil rouge that we find also in the different sections of Cantiere Delle Marche website.

A simple and intuitive navigation that allows the users to appreciate the different features of every single yacht, through technical charts and full screen photographic galleries, both for the exterior and the interior design. More, the users can deeply explore the yachts through a 3D interactive model, to discover all the plus and the specific excellences and qualities of every single line.  Further the technical aspects, the website gives great relevance to all the people that make Cantiere delle Marche a reliable and successful shipyard.

In the “Diary” section, they give their’s accounts, stories and experiences of someone that gave, and still gives, an essential contribution to the realisation of every project: engineers, architects, workers, the real surplus value of Cantiere delle Marche. With their experiences, they let the users “breathe” the shipyard and understand how much this is different from the industrialized and automated computerized realities: not only about the processes, but also and above all in the relationship between who plans, projects and realizes the Yachts and the same Yachts, with all the consequences for the final owner.

In the new site, the barrier “shipyard/factory – site/window” is finally broken, and it is possible to compare our own requirements with who genuinely loves the boats that realizes, the sea and the navigation. In fact, it’s not certainly usual reading direct stories by shipowners and commanders on the competitors websites: but, as Charles Darwin could say, this shipyard and the Darwin Class yachts surely belong to a never seen species.

In her unmistakable Sanlorenzo line, summarizing elegance, volume balance and proper ratio between solid body and openings, the Ameglia shipyard condensed in a perfect harmony its new styling elements so successfully introduced in the multi-prized SL104 yacht, in which is concentrated a bunch of innovations that never altered the consistent family feeling of the yard planning fleet.

Festival de la Plaisance de Cannes: Multihull yachts in the heart of the Vieux Port

April 28, 2011

With an in-water exhibition space that grows bigger from year to year, the Multihull Section of the 2011 Festival de la Plaisance de Cannes is a must-be-there event for all those who love cruising multihulls, both sail and motor. The largest shipyards in Europe and countries around the world are among the first to renew their participation and honour the event each year with a world preview of their new models.

This year again, the Multihull Section will be set up right in the heart of the Vieux Port, along the central pontoon, accessible from either the Pantiéro esplanade or the Quai Saint-Pierre footbridge; a unique area accommodating a very wide range of sail and motor vessels from 10 to 36 metres.

The Multihull Section is forever seeing more visitors in continually greater numbers, visitors who are very interested in sailing these types of vessels, whether for private use or for luxury yacht charters.

Festival de la Plaisance de Cannes change of dates

February 14, 2011

Initially scheduled to be held from 7th to 12th September, the 34th Festival de la Plaisance de Cannes will now be held from Tuesday 6th to Sunday 11th September 2011, along the quays of the Vieux Port and Port Pierre Canto, and inside the Espace Riviera exhibition hall.

This change of dates is a direct consequence of the G20 being held in the city of Cannes. It is having an impact on all the events scheduled to take place before it, in particular the Festival de la Plaisance de Cannes, but also MIPCOM and Tax Free. The scope of the security plan for the G20 involves in fact the requisitioning of the city’s entire sea front, from the Vieux Port to Port Pierre Canto, starting the month of October. This makes it necessary to advance the dates of all the events scheduled.

With 80,000 m² of exhibition space on land and in the water, and more than 500 boats on display, the Festival de la Plaisance de Cannes is Europe’s leading in-water boat show and arguably the world’s most prestigious. It attracts more than 54,000 visitors from the four corners of the earth, who come to discover an international gathering of close to 200 new models, on show for first time ever worldwide.

“This change of dates is important, even if it does not call into question the foundations of the Festival. The essential thing was to keep the six days of exhibition, including a whole weekend, to allow visitors to take full advantage of this exclusive event,” explains Renaud Jourdon, the show’s manager.

Advancing the opening date from Wednesday 7th to Tuesday 6th and the closing date from Monday 12th to Sunday 11th may seem inconsequential, but the Festival is held at the end of the summer period between the time when the port is heavily in use and just ahead of the exhibition ‘Tax Free’. This leaves only a very tight margin to manoeuvre. The new manager and his team will have to contend with unprecedented logistical constraints while at the same time preserving the excellent nature of the event.

Dates: Tuesday 6th to Sunday 11th September 2011

Hours: 10.00 a.m. to 7.00 p.m.

Late night: Friday 9 September until 10.00 p.m.
