A truly radical hybrid explorer yacht concept
NOVEMBER 4, 2019
DLBA has unveiled its 7 Oceans concept for superyacht owners who want to explore further and more efficiently in a vessel which goes beyond paying lip service to green technology. The design incorporates ground-breaking hybrid technology with an interior that reduces the vessel’s overall footprint through the use of bamboo, all-LED lighting, natural leathers and no old-growth hardwoods.
The 45-meter design’s fast explore hull is based on our proprietary hull and produces a modern, stylish yacht which is capable of both high-speed transits – with a fast cruise capability of 25 knots for day trips to remote locations – and efficient cruising at 16 knots, an unusually high speed for a hybrid vessel of this length.
The 7 Oceans explorer is powered by a diesel-electric-hybrid propulsion plant which reduces fuel consumption, emissions, noise, and vessel maintenance costs when operating at low speeds. To ensure owners aren’t curbed in exploring, exhaust after-treatment has been designed to be EPA Tier 4 compliant, which means the vessel will not be restricted from accessing any area/location worldwide.
Don’t hesitate to reach out if you want to learn more about the concept.
