Highlights from Electric / Hybrid Marine World Expo 2016 – FT. LAUDERDALE, Florida

Set against the backdrop of so many beautiful yachts in Fort Lauderdale, the Electric & Hybrid Marine World Expo chose the perfect location to show the Luxury Yachting industry that the technologies are sound, the equipment real world tested, the timing could not be better, and the experts are ready to engage in ushering in a new era for the industry.  If you were not in attendance, see highlights below

• An abundance of collaboration between experts from yachting and commercial marine, both with ‘real world’ experience and equipment.

• The Electric / Hybrid industry is uniquely qualified to engage with yachting as both are inherently customer-centric; always innovating to meet challenges that are of value to the Owner.

• ‘Why’ Electric / Hybrid?  The obvious answer is emissions reductions and fuel savings but these are really only a beneficial by-product. Consider the following ‘sellable’ points:

  • Increasing Operational Efficiencies (with electronic technology to manage)

  • Unequaled In Port Maneuverability (due to low speed rpm/torque curve of electric propulsion)

  • Reduced Noise and Vibration (Silence is the Ultimate Luxury)

  • Zero Emission Modes (that ensure vessel operations in protected marine zones)

  • Proven Equipment (commercial marine and land based transportation such as buses, automobiles, heavy trucks, etc.)

  • Increased Redundancy and Safety (perfect for Expedition type yachting)

  • Application Flexibility (from a small tender to the largest ships)

It was pointed out by numerous exhibitors/attendees that Clear Yacht International was the only design firm known to be in attendance for this first Expo and speaks volumes to their commitment to a holistic, and sustainable approach to yacht new construction and refit. See link below for more information and contacts.

It should also be noted that Derecktor (New York and Florida) was the only shipyard exhibiting at this first Expo as they were featuring their recent build of a hybrid-electric drive research vessel by the yard in New York.  With a second one underway and a third nearing contract, this proves a progressive approach from a North American yard that is embracing the future with eyes wide open.

All in all, a truly unique learning process over three days that has provided invaluable knowledge and new strategic partners to the Clear Yacht International team.  Please reach out to Joyce Clear, Victoria Cerrone, or Ron Beilman for additional insights for your projects, large or small.
