Kingship will present “Green Voyager – a new way of cruising” to attendees of the second Singapore Superyacht Conference at ONE°15 Marina Club.
Mr Tork Buckley, Senior Consultant at BBCL, will represent Kingship to do a 40 minute presentation at 1400hours on the 12th of October with detail on:
• How the Green Voyager breaks new environmental and efficiency barriers
• The technical and operational philosophy of the build
• The yards (nearly) R & D free approach to reliability and cost efficiency
• And suggest the project is an example of how the region’s yards can lead rather than follow superyacht trends
The first steel block of the yacht commenced assembly in mid September 2010. Green Voyager superyacht is a low environmental impact 44m motor yacht using diesels, shaft generator/E-motors, diesel-electric and advanced power management and battery power systems for propulsion and hotel loads.
Designed by Axis Group Yacht Design of Viareggio the yacht will achieve efficiency increases of 16% in propulsion and around 20% for hotel loads along with unprecedentedly low level of emissions using e.g. a Piranha zero discharge sewage system that exceeds MEPC 159(55) requirements. The yacht will exceed RINA Green Plus Platinum notation.
