Mega Yachts combine extreme attention to beauty and technology. Owners are requiring the highest quality and comfort standards available on the market.
The “Baseline Project” used as benchmark in the research project is a 140 m luxury motor yacht.
The propulsion system of the yacht is diesel electric and distribution is in alternating current . The yacht is provided high luxury accommodations for up to 26 passenger. Accommodations are also provided for 57 crew and staff, in compliance with the latest MLC rules. Huge open areas are avallabile at all decks.

2025 Ship Concept
The 2025 Mega Yacht Ship Concept will be a luxury mega yacht adopting DC Grid . The use of a main distribution grid based on DC (Direct Current) can optimize power production on board. Furthermore the adoption of Selective catalytic reduction technology (SCR) will be studied, in order to reduce NOx emissions. The 2025 configuration will also consider double-glazed windows and portholes, in order to achieve a better insulation towards the external atmosphere, to reduce HVAC demand. The 2025 Concept will include recovery of condensate water generated by HVAC system.

2050 Ship Concept
The 2050 Mega Yacht Ship Concept will be a luxury mega yacht adopting Dual Fuel propulsion. The use of LNG as fuel in marine engines implies a significant reduction of noxious emissions in exhaust gas.The 2050 configuration will also consider double-glazed windows and portholes in order to achieve a better insulation towards the external atmosphere, to reduce HVAC demand. The 2050 Concept will include the use of Low Solar Absorption Paint and recovery of condensate water generated by HVAC system.
