Alewijnse Marine Systems, the leading superyacht systems integrator, is once again exhibiting at the 2011 Monaco Yacht Show. Alewijnse is a global pioneer in the design and installation of the integrated electrical systems that form the heart of every superyacht. In an age where automation and the need for different systems to communicate and interact with each other are paramount, Alewijnse supplies its knowledge and expertise to yards all over the world.
Alewijnse showcases energy efficiency for superyachts at the Monaco yacht Show
At this year’s Monaco Yacht Show Alewijnse is showcasing its ability to design tailor-made electro-technical solutions for superyachts, covering everything from navigation and bridge systems to ICT and entertainment networks, along with the full transmission systems for power, lighting and control. However the company’s strengths extend beyond that with its proven track-record in the identification and adoption of the new technologies that meet the requirements of the most demanding superyacht owners. In this era of oil at over $110 a barrel and ever more stringent environmental regulation, this means working with owners and yards to create superyachts that use less fossil fuels, conserve and recycle what energy they do generate and create as few emissions as possible.
Over the past year Alewijnse has worked with many yards, designers and suppliers as an integral part of each project including leading names such as Amels, Oceanco and Royal Huisman. One notable example in 2011 is the role that the company is playing in a new Oceanco superyacht which will be built under the new PYC (Passenger Yacht Code); a new code for yachts carrying 13-36 passengers and no cargo.
The new code demands a greater level of sophistication in the electrical systems than is demanded on smaller yachts, not least for the fire and safety systems where the vessel has to be divided into several fire zones separated by watertight bulkheads. Alewijnse will also be specifying and installing a specialist public address system along with super-secured watertight cable penetrations.
Visitors to the Alewijnse stand (QD64) will find expert staff on hand to discuss the design, installation and integration of every kind of onboard electrical system. A Lantic Entertainment System will also be on show, running a range of content through mirror TVs especially developed and designed for superyachts. Lantic, which led the way in integrating smart phones into its control systems some years ago, now offers full control via the iPad, iPhone and iPod, as well as any other device capable of accessing a web browser. With full, two-way functionality a Lantic system can now both be accessed and controlled from anywhere onboard via a wireless network. Below is a short video of the new GUI and iPadcontrol by Lantic Entertainment System.
