How Will Climate Change Affect The Cost of Superyacht Ownership – Part II
In Part I we looked at how a carbon tax and more energy efficient yachts could affect Operational Costs, in this second part we consider the other factors such as: – Build Cost Finance Resale Build Cost As well as the component parts of a hybrid or an alternative energy solution, there are design and […]
Methanol A Promising Solution?
There has been much talk about reducing CO2 emissions from superyachts and apart from incremental changes that may be possible through technology such as hybrid propulsion, batteries, digitalisation and efficient hull design, the uncomfortable truth is it will not be sufficient to reach the goal of zero-carbon yachting. The only way to achieve that goal […]
Shedding Some Light On Solar Energy For Superyachts
There have been several concepts, and a good many articles and discussions relating to the use of solar panels on superyachts. And, as a zero-emissions energy source, this would seem to be an ideal technology to reduce or replace a yachts reliance on fossil fuels. You could have large arrays of panels on the superstructure […]
