Hermes why 58x38

The criteria used for limiting curves are established by Nordforsk and are valid for cruise liners. The vessel is also designed with the environment in mind. In fact, the whole concept breathes green thinking. The design speed is leisurely low. It is powered using diesel electric engines. A surface of solar cell panels measuring approximately square meters provide part of what is needed to subsist the boat.

Special attention has been paid to the choice of materials and how to recycle them etc. Who will dare to put their money into a vessel like this?

When discussing with the hull engineer, Roar Ramde he explains his own theory. A special feature of the hull is that the over side of the bulb has a flat area suitable for a sun chair.

So imagine entering Monaco harbour sitting on the bulb sipping on a drink. Lately, SSPA has tested models for a number of major yacht projects.

Yacht testing requires attention to details not only in terms of the methods and model accuracy, but also, and possibly most importantly, in terms of how to handle the demands and criteria set by the client. Sessions has included design development and verification in all our laboratories, ranging from standard tests to many special studies to improve the performance and details of this family of vessels.

Matz Brown. Project Manager. WHY intends to offer a new way of moving over water by creating an innovative way of managing and recycling its sources and uses of energy.

Thanks to its specific hull, WHY 58x38 requires less power at cruising speed than a boat of equal size. In comparison to a yacht of the same size, WHY 58x38 has been conceived to reduce drastically its energy consumption, saving up to tons of diesel per year.

The engine room houses equipment to convert bio-diesel into hydrogen, fuel cells to convert the hydrogen into electricity, and batteries for power storage. Carbon dioxide, water and heat from the conversion process are recycled: an algae bio-reactor captures the CO2 and a steam turbine converts waste heat to electricity. Not withstanding the current state of the market, Antonio Belloni, the group managing director of LVMH, says he is optimistic about the long term, sustainable growth potential of the super-yacht sector.
