Yacht HEEUS

A pair of Caterpillar C32 Acert engines of 1,200 BHP at 1,800-2,100 RPM give a top speed of 15 knots and a cruising speed of 12 knots with a range of more than 5,000 nautical miles. A hybrid propulsion system uses a propeller-driven by electric motors, which are in turn charged by a battery bank. This battery bank can be recharged by a high-efficiency variable-speed DC generator, and docking and mooring are possible in electric more for more environmentally friendly cruising.
