LESS WEIGHT = MORE SUSTAINABLE
Due to our racing background, we are used to saving weight and to reduction of resistance. When we applied these processes to commercial boats, we achieved some amazing results, including less than 50% of the original energy consumption.
Now we are developing a series of ferries and taxi boats. With several design loops to exploit the hull hydro- and aerodynamically based on the weight, then optimize the drives again, and further optimize the hulls with the drive weight span, etc.
The first results are amazing: Appr. weight 20% of typical competitors ... and incomparably better cost of ownership.
Sustainability drivers
• Weight reduction to reduce energy consumption
• Drive systems with low or no carbon footprint
• Sustainable building materials
Manufacture of ships and boats that are world leaders in sustainability.
We understand sustainability as the ability to maintain a process continuously. To achieve this, we prevent the exploitation of natural or physical resources so that they remain available in the long term. Our idea of sustainability has 4 pillars:1. Energy generation from renewable sources2. Waste avoidance, recycling of materials and ships3. Production of boat building materials locally and environmentally friendly4. Continuous improvement of our processes with local human resources and international exchange of knowledge
The unrivalled efficiency of our ships and boats is made possible through collaboration with leading minds in ship and yacht design and production. We have implemented a common design and production process, and our partners in CSSB are a unique combination of all the necessary skills to reduce the carbon footprint to less than zero:
We will issue a carbon certificate with every boat.
1. weight reduction through design and materials (up to 85% less weight compared to steel)
2. lower energy consumption through optimised hull shapes thanks to low-weight composite materials
3. ultra-light hull, deck and interior thanks to prepreg composite technology in series production
4. almost no waste and faults during the production process thanks to prepreg technology
5. super-efficient propulsion systems (optimised on the basis of CFD and ship model basin results)
6. sustainable energy supply through the combination of
a) wind propulsion systems
b) efficient solar cells
c) LOHC hydrogen technology
d) environmentally friendly and fireproof battery systems
7. higher sustainability due to significantly longer service life and less maintenance
8. efficient recycling process
