ENERGY is for sale

Published 14 June 2024

Some yachts are destined to break the mould, to find a new path to greatness. The 77.8m (255.2ft) full-custom yacht ENERGY , delivered by Amels in 2022, is one such yacht. 

The lower deck guest elevator lobby with a sea terrace for boarding

ENERGY has a steel hull and aluminium superstructure constructed to Lloyd’s classification and the brief for exterior designer Espen Oeino and interior designer Francois Zuretti was to defy convention and find ways to connect with the ocean. They exceeded all expectations.

The sun deck helipad is a versatile guest space 

The top deck’s helipad forward is a versatile space outside heliops – sun lounge, al fresco yoga studio with wraparound ocean views. 

Looking forward inside the sun deck bar

The jacuzzi and sun pads aft allow guests to bask in the sun.

The bridge deck music lounge is a wonderful entertainment space

The bridge deck music lounge is designed for acoustic excellence. There is a Steinway baby grand piano and marble-topped bar. 

Take a break from the music on the aft terrace

The entertainment continues in the open-air lounge aft, guests can find some privacy on the sofa forward of the bridge or keep going on the walkaround sidedecks to appreciate the anchorage from every possible vantage point.

The palatial bedroom suite on the owner's deck

Through full-height glass, the owner’s deck bedroom overlooks, and has direct access to, a private foredeck terrace, which has an intimate lounge beneath the overhang, a jacuzzi and a mesmerising marble firepit amid armchairs and chaises longues. 

Looking forward across the owner's deck pool, lounge and open-air dining

Walkaround sidedecks lead past a private lounge and bar, which opens on three sides to let in the sound and scent of the ocean, to open-air dining for up to 18 guests and one of the largest pools on any yacht, anywhere.

Two main deck VIP suites have private balconies

On the main deck, the ocean connection extends to both VIP suites, each of which has full-height sliding glass walls opening onto a private balcony at the forward end of extra-wide sidedecks. 

The main deck's formal dining room and sit-up bar have access to wide sidedeck on both sides

Moving aft, inside or out, you pass a boardroom-style office, martial arts room, lobby with lower- to bridge-deck glass elevator, formal dining room, two-tender boat deck and watertoy store, and an intimate waterfall lounge.

Guests can arrive via the helipad, the lower deck lobby or here at the beach club

Whether your guests arrive at the lower deck’s swim platform or the sea-level lobby, all four lower deck guest cabins, completing accommodation for 14 guests in seven suites across three decks, have step-free access past the beauty salon to the beach club and wellness spa aft. 

The lower deck wellness centre has a gym with a huge sea terrace

There is a huge sea terrace outside the gym and massage room to port, and to starboard a sauna and hammam either side of a relaxation room with another sea terrace.

ENERGY has a transatlantic range of 5,000nm and two sets of stabilisers for comfort en route

Twin 3,046hp MTU diesel engines give her a top speed of 17 knots, and cruising speed of 13.5 knots and an easy transatlantic range of 5,000nm. Two sets of stabilisers ensure comfort on arrival.

Aft on the main deck is an intimate lounge with a waterfall running down the mosaic mural

We are hugely excited to bring this exceptional yacht to market for the first time. ENERGY is lying in Monaco where inspection really should be considered mandatory to appreciate this exceptional design achievement. Please get in touch for more detail, including the asking price, and to arrange your visit.

78m Amels superyacht Energy becomes a joint central agency

The 77.8-metre Amels superyacht Energy , recently listed for sale for the first time with Peter Brown of Burgess , is now a joint central agency with Cecil Wright & Partners too.

Designed by Espen Øino and François Zuretti – who first worked together on the design of the 74.5-metre Eco , now Zeus , with Martin Francis in the 1980s – the steel and aluminium yacht was delivered by Amels in 2022. Naval architecture is by Damen/Amels .

The broker said Energy is the most recently delivered Northern European yacht over 70 metres LOA on the market today. The design brief given to exterior designer Øino and interior designer Zuretti (who won the Lifetime Achievement award at the BOAT International Design & Innovation Awards 2023 ) – was to "defy convention and find ways to connect with the ocean". The end result certainly achieves that with distinction.

Energy has only been used privately and boasts a spacious owner's suite with private terrace and a Jacuzzi, a glass elevator and a sea-level gym with beauty salon, sauna, Hammam and beach club with bar and fold-out terrace – reached by step-free access from the lower deck cabins.

Accommodation is provided for a party of 14 in seven cabins. As well as the owner's suite on the upper deck, there are two VIP cabins on the main deck and four double guest cabins on the lower deck. Quarters are provided for a crew of 27.

The top deck's helipad forward doubles as a sun lounge, a yoga studio with ocean views, or a vast space on which to entertain, having a large "statement bar" under cover. A circular Jacuzzi surrounded by sunpads is found aft.

The bridge deck features a music lounge, designed for acoustic excellence, with a Steinway baby grand piano and marble-topped bar. The upper deck, sporting the owner's private saloon surrounded by opening glass on three sides, also hosts a 16-person dining table aft for on-deck dining and "one of the largest pools on any yacht, anywhere".

On the main deck, the VIP suites each have a balcony forward, formed by the extra-wide side decks. Moving aft, there is a boardroom-style office, martial arts room and a formal dining room, before one reaches an intimate "waterfall lounge".

The 2,885GT, Lloyds Register-classed yacht for sale is powered by twin 2,240kW engines giving her a top speed of 17 knots and cruising speed of 13.5 knots. Range is 5,000 nautical miles at 13 knots.

Lying in Monaco, Energy is asking €199,000,000.

Renewable energy afloat: the latest tech

Sam Fortescue

  • Sam Fortescue
  • May 5, 2021

Sam Fortescue examines how renewable energy afloat is benefitting from technical developments in other sectors

The Oceanvolt electric drive allows you to monitor how much renewable energy you are generating and how much power you are consuming

Oceanvolt's electric drives feature a clean display that can tell you exactly how much electricity the system is consuming under power or generating under sail. Credit: Richard Langdon/Ocean Images

As the rest of the world grapples with decarbonisation, the sailing community is benefitting from the various technical developments made in other sectors, and now has more options to use renewable energy afloat.

It is now simpler to harvest and store power on board than ever before – no bad thing when you consider how many power-hungry gadgets fill a modern cruising yacht.

From Nespresso machines to electric winches, sailing consumers are reaping the rewards of the efficient electricity generation.

The core of renewable energy generation for boats remains wind, solar and hydrogeneration, but the last two of these are developing rapidly.

Meanwhile hydrogen is continuing to make inroads into the sailing market.

It all comes down to how much power you need: a kilowatt-hour over the day to run the fridge and electronics (83Ah), or 50 times that for induction cooking, air-con and even electric propulsion.

Wind remains an important part of the mix, capable of adding up to 500Wh on a blustery day, but here the technology is more mature.

There may be small incremental improvements – quieter blades or more efficient power transfer.

‘There is not going to be a silver bullet in respect of renewable generation on yachts because the physics tell us that the existing technology is already very efficient,’ says Peter Anderson, MD of Eclectic Energy.

‘For example, our D400 wind generator converts 36% of the kinetic energy in a 12-knot wind stream into electricity. The theoretical maximum (Betz Limit) is 59%, and the latest multi-megawatt commercial turbines achieve around 40% efficiency due to their scale.’

Nonetheless, he believes that a yacht can cruise entirely independently of fossil fuel, and he’s far from alone.

Jimmy Cornell’s Elcano Challenge aims to prove just that , aboard an electrically-powered Outremer catamaran.

True, he has just put the round-the-world voyage on hold, because the regenerating prop could not keep up with demand.

But he thinks the answer is to beef up hydro and solar capacity while trimming power use on board.

‘I am determined to continue my zero-emissions project once certain changes have been made,’ he says.

Solar panels have been with us for decades, and as the technology has matured, so they can produce more power from the same footprint.

Even a small panel putting out a few watts is enough to keep a lead-acid battery bank trickle charging when the boat’s on a swinging mooring. But some have already gone much further than that.

Renewable energy: solar developments

Catamaran builders, in particular, have been trying to capitalise on the extensive deck area of their boats by fitting solar panels.

Silent Yachts is ahead of the curve on this, with a 55ft cat whose 49m2 coachroof and hardtop are carpeted with 10kW of panels.

On a sunny Mediterranean day, that provides enough electricity to run all the boat’s systems and leave plenty for a few hours of electric propulsion.

Luxury cat brand Sunreef has developed cells that can be built into the actual fabric of the boat.

Solar cells built into the hull of a boat to produce renewable energy afloat

Solar cells, built into the structure of luxury Sunreef multihulls, vastly increase the solar power potential

‘They can be easily mounted anywhere on the yacht’s surfaces, including the hulls, mast, superstructure, bimini roof or bow terrace, vastly increasing the amount of solar power,’ says the brand’s Sara Smuczynska.

‘Sunreef Yachts is also the first company to develop a system to recover heat from the panels to heat up the yacht’s boiler.’

With panels in the topsides, decks and coachroof, up to 13kW can be installed on a Sunreef 50.

Monohulls are a different story. Gantries, guard wires and coachroofs can support panels of a few hundred watts – enough for basic systems.

But if you want to generate serious solar power for more ambitious green goals, then you need to think laterally.

That’s what Frenchman Alain Janet did when he launched SolarCloth – a business that sticks solar cells to your sails.

The advantage to this is obvious: the sails offer the largest surface area and their near-vertical alignment can suit the angle at which sunlight falls on them.

The cells are based on proven copper indium gallium selenide (CIGS) technology, capable of around 17% efficiency and very flexible.

Simply glued to the sailcloth in positions that won’t chafe on the spreaders under any reefing conditions, they are robust enough to withstand flogging, folding and all manner of abuse, as demonstrated during the 2016-17 Vendée Globe race by skipper Conrad Colman.

More recently, Spirit Yachts integrated the technology into its beautiful 44E performance cruiser , launched last autumn.

On the Spirit, the cells were arranged in panels 30cm high and about 2m wide on either side of the mainsail, producing 560W on a sunny day.

Dr Vincent Argiro, who commissioned that boat, wanted a fast, energy-efficient design.

‘The stretch goal for the 44E was near total energy self-sufficiency,’ he says.

‘I envision plugging into shore power to be a rare event.’

Janet acknowledges the junction boxes and wires needed to connect the sail to the deck are clunky, but he is developing a sleeker solution.

Meanwhile, a new partnership with One Sails to produce the so-called PowerSails will give the idea fresh impetus and broader distribution.

Janet says a PowerSail costs 50-60% more than a standard sail, while the same technology has also been used to add photovoltaics to biminis and awnings on cruising boats.

All this is based on silicon technology, where the record efficiency for an expensive six-junction cell is 39.2% in natural light.

But further down the line, emerging Perovskite technology could make photovoltaics lighter, cheaper and applicable to any surface by painting or printing.

Researchers at Imperial College, Cambridge University and China’s Soochow University calculate that it has the potential to eclipse silicon with up to 60% efficiency, once the issue of durability has been cracked.

Luca Bondi, technical director of Italian solar panel producer Solbian, says the future lies in the combination of silicon and Perovskite in the same cell.

‘Tandem cells made by crystalline silicon and Perovskite raised close to 30% efficiency,’ he says.

‘The increase in efficiency is important but not disruptive, thus I think we cannot say that we have a big step imminent, but an improvement of the already good existing solar cells.’

For those who dislike the look of solar panels, there is another option.

A printable film has been developed which is stuck on top of the solar panel to disguise it.

Finishes range from monotones that match your paint to a teak-effect that would allow you to add solar panels to decks.

Solbian supplies its monocrystalline panels with this so-called iSP mask, and Bondi says that it does very little to reduce their 24% efficiency.

Hydro power on board

Sails are the most abundant generators of renewable energy on board, propelling tonnes of yacht at a brisk pace.

Converting just a fraction of the boat’s kinetic energy into electricity can yield plenty of power for the loss of less than one quarter of a knot.

Broadly speaking, there are two approaches.

The first is the well-established principle of hydrogeneration, where you lower a dedicated propeller into the sea that is turned by the passing water and used to drive an alternator.

Products in this space are typically mounted on the transom and deployed using a lanyard to generate power.

Hydrogeneration is where you lower a dedicated propeller into the sea that is turned by the passing water and used to drive an alternator, producing renewable energy

They include the Watt & Sea, which comes in 300W and 600W units, Eclectic Energy’s SailGen and Italy’s 600W Swi-Tec.

More recently, regeneration has emerged as an alternative. It harnesses the same principle but uses your auxiliary propeller to generate the power, so no need for a bulky transom unit or the braking effect of a second prop in the water.

There are retrofit options available from the likes of Holland’s Bell Marine, but it is relatively expensive to install, so the more common option at the moment is to fit a new hybrid propulsion system – either diesel-electric or battery-electric.

If your engine needs replacing it’s worth considering.

However you configure it, hydro can be a very efficient way to generate power, especially at scale.

The 350ft Dynarig yacht Black Pearl is able to sail across the Atlantic without burning any fossil fuel – its twin props regenerate hundreds of kW of power.

Cruising yachts, on the other hand, will struggle to generate even a kW, and typical output at five knots doesn’t exceed 100W.

This is because the power out is a cubic function of boat speed, linked to water past the prop, so even a small speed increase hugely increases yield.

Nudge up just a little to seven or eight knots and you can get a more manly 300W from regeneration.

Dedicated hydrogenerators are more efficient because their props are pitched and sized according to your boat’s cruising speed.

With regeneration, your main prop will be optimised just for propulsion. Only a variable pitch prop can excel at both tasks.

That is what Finland’s Oceanvolt has achieved with the Servoprop – whose pitch adjusts electronically in real time to extract the greatest possible power from regeneration.

The team behind it claims that it can boost electricity output nearly threefold compared to a fixed prop.

Indeed, at seven to eight knots it produced 1kW of power.

There again, at five knots, output falls to around 200W.

It all depends on how much power you need.

For house loads, 200-300W should be more than enough, but for electric propulsion you’ll need far more.

Servoprop comes as a complete saildrive system with the option of either a 15kW or a 10kW motor.

But electric propulsion rival Torqeedo is sceptical about variable pitch systems on small motors.

‘It’s not possible to get much more than 300-400W because the physics makes it tough to adapt the pitch of the prop and to take care of the waves,’ says sales director Phillip Goethe.

‘When your speed through the water is changing often – from stalled to surfing, it is very hard to have the optimum pitch.’

Instead, Torqeedo’s notion is to spec a fixed-pitch propeller that strikes a compromise between propulsion and regeneration.

‘Perhaps you lose 2% [in propulsion], but gain two digits in hydrogeneration efficiency,’ says Goethe.

‘But for cruising applications, it doesn’t need to be optimised for propulsion above seven knots.’

Isle of Wight-based Hybrid Marine specialises in diesel-electric parallel hybrid systems built around new Beta and Yanmar engines.

They can take advantage of regeneration and allow limited manoeuvring using the electric motor, with the diesel for longer passages.

‘Retrofits are tricky. It takes a lot of work to reliably convert an engine and means it has to be removed to make the conversion. Accumulated costs work out close to a new system,’ says MD Graeme Hawksley.

Hydrogen propulsion

Hydrogen fuel cells can be used either to provide small amounts of electricity to charge a battery, or at larger scale to power an electric drivetrain.

Either way, they can be emissions-free if they use hydrogen produced using renewable energy.

Hydrogen is attractive because it is three times as energy dense as diesel, but being a gas in ambient conditions, it must be stored under tremendous pressure – up to 350 bar on boats, requiring voluminous storage cylinders.

Efoy leads the market for marinised low-power fuel cells, with a 40W and 75W unit available.

French company Genevos has already started selling a 15kW hydrogen fuel cell tested by singlehanded racer Phil Sharp during a Solitaire du Figaro campaign

It burns methanol supplied in 5lt and 10lt ‘cartridges’ that are available from distributors across Europe.

You can simply clip the output wires to a suitable charging point on your battery system, but for optimum efficiency, Efoy also supplies its own Lithium batteries in 70 and 105aH capacities.

Though Efoy doesn’t quantify the benefit, it describes this combination of fuel cell and battery as ‘particularly efficient’ by avoiding unnecessary charging cycles.

A 10lt canister yields just over 11.1kWh of usable power – enough for four weeks of typical use, according to Efoy.

Beyond that there is a bit of a void in the market until you reach a power output of 15kW, where the purpose is to supply an electric motor for propulsion, as well as covering the boat’s domestic load.

French company Genevos has already started selling a 15kW fuel cell tested by singlehanded racer Phil Sharp during a Solitaire du Figaro campaign.

‘We’re going to see quite a lot of private projects as retrofits in coming years, and by 2025, there’ll be production boats with hydrogen energy systems,’ he says.

That’s despite typical costs of around €100,000 to supply and install a system.

French firm EOD is developing plans for futuristic looking floating hydrogen fuel stations that actually generate H2 from seawater

Rival Energy Observer Developments (EOD) is designing fuel cells in the 60kW to 1MW range for larger vessels.

It stems from a project that demonstrated how solar and wind power could be harnessed to make hydrogen from seawater on a round-the-world prototype.

Other than the sheer cost, the current stumbling block is that hydrogen gas is not yet widely available in ports or marinas.

‘However, we’re going to see much wider access to hydrogen in five years’ time,’ promises Sharp.

EOD is developing futuristic-looking hydrogen fuelling stations that float in a corner of the marina and generate hydrogen from seawater using green mains electricity.

And British firm Fuel Cell Systems says its first marina hydrogen pumps should be installed in the south of France this summer.

‘Although the UK will be very slow to pick it up in my experience,’ cautions CEO Tom Sperrey.

Battery tech

Lithium is still the performance choice for storing renewable energy on board.

Advances in chemistry and design driven by the automotive sector are making it possible to store more energy in the same footprint.

So the capacity of the BMW i3 battery that Torqeedo offers has risen from 30kWh to 40kWh over five years.

Oceanvolt lithium batteries on a Feeling 32

Promising technologies have been demonstrated in the lab. California’s QuantumScope has developed a stable battery that uses solid lithium as the anode, and offers four times the energy density of current lithium batteries plus lightning-fast recharge speeds.

Other approaches use graphene, salt, aluminium and even ceramic, as well as solid electrolytes.

‘The technological development of batteries is really fast,’ says Oceanvolt’s head of R&D Marko Mäki.

‘We believe that in the future, the combination of battery price, capacity and safety will only improve.’

Expect performance gains of 5-10% per year.

Victor Mallet

Roula Khalaf, Editor of the FT, selects her favourite stories in this weekly newsletter.

It is hard to think of a more visible manifestation of great wealth and excessive consumption than a superyacht, as Russian oligarchs have discovered to their cost, following Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine in February.

As western governments began detaining these very obvious luxury assets at harbours and shipyards around the world in successive rounds of economic sanctions aimed at Moscow, the targeted billionaires directed crews to steer the vessels to safe havens such as the Maldives in the Indian Ocean or Turkey in the Mediterranean. Roman Abramovich’s 163-metre Eclipse, one of the world’s largest superyachts and estimated to cost more than $1bn, found refuge in the Turkish port of Marmaris.

Long before the latest Ukraine war, however, the superyacht industry faced a problem unrelated to any support the ships’ wealthy owners may have provided to warmongering authoritarian regimes: their impact on the environment and the impression they gave that the rich could not care less about climate change.

Most superyachts — typically defined as a leisure vessel more than 30 metres or 100ft in length — are essentially motor vessels like small cruise liners, catering to proprietors or charterers and a few pampered guests. The biggest have helicopter pads, swimming pools and gyms as well as luxury suites. Some even have mini-submarines.

Roman Abramovich’s 163-metre superyacht Eclipse

Very few are sailing yachts, and most of them consume vast quantities of diesel. Only now are manufacturers starting to develop new technologies such as hydrogen-powered electric propulsion that will cut emissions.

In the meantime, building the boats, operating them and, eventually, scrapping them all have a damaging effect on the environment. The same is true of aircraft and cars, but the very visibility of superyachts in tourist hotspots, makes their ecological footprint an increasingly sensitive topic. The global fleet has grown more than sixfold since 1985 to reach more than 5,200, according to Superyacht Times . And the fleet cruises the world’s vulnerable oceans.

“For sure, now it’s really high up the agenda — there’s been a fundamental shift,” says Monaco-based superyacht designer Espen Oeino, who reckons it is only in the past few years that most proprietors have really started to pay attention to yacht emissions. Clients ask him what can be done to reduce energy consumption onboard, both for propulsion and for the so-called “hotel load” of air-conditioning and other services, and even how to build the boat in the first place in a responsible way.

Norwegian superyacht designer Espen Oeino

Rob Doyle, another naval architect who designs superyachts and is based in Kinsale in Ireland, agrees that more owners are beginning to take notice of the need to reduce carbon emissions and protect the environment, though many are still concerned about the cost. “There is still a huge amount of greenwashing,” he says. “You look at the magazines and you’ll never see a bad superyacht.”

Rob Doyle

And bad they often are. Research by anthropologists Beatriz Barros and Richard Wilk of Indiana University into the carbon footprints of the super-rich found that yachts contributed an outsized share of the carbon emissions of the billionaires who own them — far more than their private jets or mansions.

For former Chelsea Football Club owner Abramovich, for example, of the 31,200 tonnes of CO₂ equivalent he is calculated to have emitted in 2018, no less than 22,400 tonnes came from his yachts. Yacht emissions for Bernard Arnault, owner of LVMH and France’s richest man, accounted for nearly 9,000 tonnes of his total of 10,400 tonnes.

There are other ways for the wealthy to be embarrassed by their superyachts. Dutch shipyard Oceanco is facing resistance from angry locals after asking the city of Rotterdam to temporarily dismantle the old Koningshaven Bridge so that Amazon founder Jeff Bezos’s new three-masted vessel — this one is a sailing yacht costing hundreds of millions of dollars — can reach the port and the open sea.

Bernard Arnaud’s luxury yacht Symphony

But the impact on the climate is still the environmental whale in the room for yacht owners, builders and designers: Bill Gates and Elon Musk are both big carbon emitters, but their 2018 numbers were much lower than those of their fellow billionaires because they did not have yachts, the Barros-Wilk paper showed.

The accelerating effort to green superyachts reflects similar moves in the aircraft and vehicle industries to adopt new technologies and systems that help to reduce or eliminate carbon emissions and other pollution.

For superyacht designers and builders, the process starts with the shape of the hull or hulls, because there are few things so wasteful of energy as pushing a heavy metal or composite vessel through a fluid as dense as water. For both Oeino and Doyle, this search for what Oeino calls the “geometry of an easily driven hull” means looking at multihulls (catamarans or trimarans) for the next generation of big yachts, because they are designed to skim along the surface of the sea rather than laboriously plough through it, even if there are obvious constraints on weight and what you can do with the interior space.

A draughtsman’s weight

Next, propulsion. There are already diesel-electric boats in service, which use diesel generators running at optimum revolutions (more economical, less polluting) to power electric motors, and, in future, the idea is to run the electric motors with the output from hydrogen fuel cells.

Then there is the electricity needed for the yacht’s hotel load, principally air-conditioning and the making of fresh water from seawater, but also lights and other electrical systems. Solar panels can produce some power but rarely enough even to run a present-day superyacht at anchor, so to charge batteries and run the boat, some other form of carbon-free electricity generation is needed to replace the diesel generators widely in use today.

For Barros and Wilk, none of this can justify owning any kind of superyacht. They write: “While many billionaires have taken pro-environmental actions in their personal lives or their corporate connections or donate money to climate change organisations and purchase carbon offsets, none of these actions actually ‘cancels out’ their total emissions. A 90-metre yacht can be touted as energy efficient or environmentally friendly but, as critics of ‘eco-chic’ point out, it is still a huge waste of resources, a frivolous luxury in a warming world.”

But the industry is trying. Doyle’s answer, developed by his own firm and Van Geest Design, is Domus (“home” in Latin), a project for a 40-metre sailing trimaran described as “the first truly zero-emission yacht” over 750 gross tonnes, which would generate electricity to charge its batteries from solar panels, hydrogen fuel cells and its own propellers acting as dynamos when the boat is sailing.

“It came out of a conversation we had with a client,” says Doyle. “We proposed this project with fuel cells, and regenerative sailing. It’s silent . . . people just want to listen to the water and the wind coming across and not have the hum of generators or the whiff of diesel.”

People just want to listen to the water and the wind coming across and not have the hum of generators or the whiff of diesel Rob Doyle, yacht designer

Hydrogen propulsion is in its infancy for mass transport. The gas is difficult to store, though it can be made from methanol, and there is, as yet, no distribution network for the fuel. But the interest in hydrogen is just one sign of how the yacht industry is hunting for ways to lower emissions in the years ahead as the pressure from regulators — and public opinion — increases.

Oeino notes that in some places, including the World Heritage Site fjords such as Geirangerfjord in his native Norway, rules limiting emissions are already in place and becoming stricter, and will help to force the pace of the greening of ships and yachts.

The first systems for big yachts to be fully powered by renewables are likely to be the tenders, the smaller boats that ferry people to and from the shore, which are already starting to shift to electric propulsion, and the equipment that contributes to the hotel load when the ship is stationary. Hotel loads can, in any case, be reduced by sensible design and operation, given that indoor superyacht spaces are heavily air-conditioned all the time despite owners and guests spending a huge amount of their time outside, on deck.

Transocean travel with zero emissions is a much bigger ask, says Oeino. “A lot of stuff is already being implemented, but the full electric big yacht with zero emissions is still not a reality,” he explains, because it is impossible to store or produce enough energy onboard.

“It will be a combination of things that will bring us all to lower emissions and eventually zero emissions.” 

‘Yachts for science’ can be a breakthrough for explorers

A yacht

For yacht owners who feel guilty not only about their environmental footprint but also about how little they use their expensive boats, Rosie O’Donnell has the perfect solution: Yachts for Science .

YFS, which its co-ordinator O’Donnell describes as “a dating agency, almost like a Tinder for the sea”, is a platform to match idle yachts and their crews with scientists in search of a vessel that can reach remote areas and allow them to research everything from coral reefs and manta rays to great white sharks. In some cases, the owners and their families like to be on board for the ride.

“It’s for people who want to be a bit philanthropic so they have got something more to talk about than sitting on the back of their boat in St Tropez drinking cocktails,” says O’Donnell. “It’s about making the ownership more worthwhile.”

The idea of YFS fits with the trend among yachtowners to commission robust so-called expedition or explorer yachts that can travel long distances, to the Antarctic for example, rather than being satisfied with something that will buzz at high speeds around the resorts of the Mediterranean or the Caribbean.

“The yachting industry is always looking for ways to reinvent itself,” says Dominic Byrne of Arksen Marine , a builder that backs YFS and is building a new range of high-tech motor yachts. “People are looking to go further afield, and they are looking to do it in an eco-friendly way as much as possible.”

Some yachts are destined to break the mould and set new standards in luxury and innovation. The 77.8m (255.2ft) full-custom yacht ENERGY, delivered by Amels in 2022, is one such vessel. With a steel hull and aluminium superstructure built to Lloyd’s classification, ENERGY is a masterpiece designed by the renowned exterior designer Espen Oeino and interior designer Francois Zuretti. Their mission was to defy convention and create unparalleled connections with the ocean, and they have exceeded all expectations.

The top deck’s helipad forward is a versatile space, transforming outside heliops into a sun lounge, an al fresco yoga studio with wraparound ocean views, or an elevated entertainment area served by a statement bar. Guests can relax in assorted lounging areas or freshen up in the dayhead inside. Aft, the jacuzzi and sun pads provide the perfect spot for basking in the sun while enjoying the panoramic views.

The bridge deck features a music lounge designed for acoustic excellence, complete with a Steinway baby grand piano and a marble-topped bar. The entertainment continues in the open-air lounge aft, where guests can find privacy on the sofa forward of the bridge or explore the walkaround sidedecks to appreciate the anchorage from every possible vantage point.

The owner’s deck offers a private sanctuary with full-height glass overlooking a private foredeck terrace. This terrace includes an intimate lounge beneath the overhang, a jacuzzi, and a mesmerizing marble firepit surrounded by armchairs and chaises longues. Walkaround sidedecks lead past a private lounge and bar, which opens on three sides to let in the sound and scent of the ocean. This area also features open-air dining for up to 18 guests and one of the largest pools found on any yacht, anywhere.

On the main deck, the ocean connection extends to both VIP suites, each featuring full-height sliding glass walls that open onto a private balcony at the forward end of extra-wide sidedecks. Moving aft, whether inside or out, you will pass a boardroom-style office, a martial arts room, a lobby with a glass elevator spanning from the lower to the bridge deck, a formal dining room, a two-tender boat deck, a watertoy store, and an intimate waterfall lounge.

Guests arriving at the lower deck’s swim platform or the sea-level lobby will find all four lower deck guest cabins, completing accommodation for 14 guests in seven suites across three decks, have step-free access past the beauty salon to the beach club and wellness spa aft. There is a vast sea terrace outside the gym and massage room to port, and to starboard, a sauna and hammam flank a relaxation room with another sea terrace.

Twin 3,046hp MTU diesel engines power ENERGY, providing a top speed of 17 knots, a cruising speed of 13.5 knots, and a transatlantic range of 5,000 nautical miles. Two sets of stabilisers ensure comfort both underway and on arrival, making every journey smooth and enjoyable.

Experience the epitome of luxury and innovation with the ENERGY superyacht, where every detail has been meticulously crafted to offer an unforgettable oceanic adventure.

Oregon tribe sues over federal agency plans to hold an offshore wind energy auction

EUGENE, Ore. (AP) — A tribe in Oregon whose culture is tied to the ocean is suing the U.S. government over plans to hold an offshore wind energy auction next month, saying the environmental analysis underpinning the sale was too narrow and based on a “predetermined political decision.”

The lawsuit, filed by the Confederated Tribes of Coos, Lower Umpqua and Siuslaw Indians, alleges the U.S. Bureau of Ocean Energy Management “failed to take a hard look at the impacts to the environment from private offshore wind energy development," including those stemming from building and operating wind energy facilities, plus potential effects on aquatic and cultural resources and viewscapes.

“The lifestyle and culture of the Tribe is tied to Oregon’s rich coastal and marine waters, which support countless species of seabirds, marine mammals, fisheries, aquatic plants, and dramatic landscapes,” the lawsuit states, adding that the area “cannot sustain a drastic change in its workforce and culture, which will occur because of offshore wind projects.”

The case was filed in federal court in Oregon on Friday. The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management had no comment, spokesperson Tracey Moriarty said by email Monday.

Earlier this year, the agency finalized two areas for floating offshore wind farms along the Oregon coast. The zones cover roughly 195,000 acres (78,914 hectares), with one location 32 miles (52 kilometers) off the coast of Coos Bay, and the other 8 miles (29 kilometers) from the shore of the small city of Brookings, located near the California state line.

The agency released an environmental assessment in August that it said found that the issuance of leases would have no significant impacts to people or the environment. It subsequently set an Oct. 15 lease sale and said five companies had qualified to participate.

The lawsuit says little is known about how the development of offshore wind facilities might impact fish habitat, marine mammals or cultural resources. It says the agency's analysis was not comprehensive.

The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management has said any leases that might be issued would not authorize construction of a project and that any future proposed project would undergo an environmental review.

The U.S. Energy Department has said floating offshore wind is “key to transitioning dense population centers to clean energy, and would also mean thousands of jobs in wind manufacturing, installation, and operations.”

The Biden administration has set a goal of 30 gigawatts of offshore wind energy by 2030 .

Ara Partners Launches New Strategy to Decarbonize Conventional Energy Value Chain in Partnership with HF Capital

private yacht energy

Ara Energy Decarbonization to be Led by Shameek Konar, Former CEO of Pilot, and Team of Energy and Commodities Experts

HF Capital, Investment Arm of Haslam Family, Commits up to $725 Million to Ara’s Strategies

Ara to Leverage Proven Decarbonization Capabilities to Reduce Carbon Emissions at Ethanol Plants, Natural Gas Power Plants and Other Conventional Energy Assets and Sources

BOSTON and HOUSTON, September 16, 2024 – Ara Partners, a global private equity and infrastructure firm that is decarbonizing the industrial economy, today announced the launch of a new strategy, Ara Energy Decarbonization, to decarbonize conventional energy assets across North America.

Ara Energy Decarbonization is being launched in partnership with the Haslam family through its family office, HF Capital. The Haslam family, who founded and built the Pilot Company into North America’s largest travel center and transportation fuel business, will be a partner with Ara in building the strategy. HF Capital has committed up to $725 million to Ara’s strategies with an objective to acquire, optimize operations and decarbonize energy businesses and assets across North America.

Ara Energy Decarbonization will be led by Shameek Konar and a team of energy and commodities experts targeting investments in the conventional energy value chain, including power generation, merchant biofuels, and supply and distribution businesses. Mr. Konar will also serve as a Senior Advisor to Ara Infrastructure leveraging his extensive industry network.

Today’s energy sector is responsible for more than 75% of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions [1] . The substantial growth in data centers and AI computational technology means demand for energy is surging, though the ability to fulfill that demand is hampered by renewable energy interconnection challenges and grid constraints. Natural gas is filling the gap and estimates expect the peak of natural gas demand won’t come until the 2040s. [2] For the world to meet crucial climate goals, a dramatic reduction in emissions at the biggest contributing energy sources is needed.

“It is an uncomfortable truth that highly pollutive energy sources are going to play an essential role in delivering an energy transition over the next several decades,” said Charles Cherington, Co-Founder and Managing Partner of Ara. “We can ignore these staggering carbon emissions, or we can apply our proven methods and financing expertise to decarbonize the conventional energy value chain. With Shameek, his team, and the Haslam Family’s partnership, we gain the expertise needed to integrate substantial climate impact across another hard-to-abate sector without disrupting energy output. This is an important milestone for Ara as we continue to decarbonize the most critical and pollution intensive sectors to advance the global transition to net-zero.”

“Ara has honed a team of seasoned investors, builders, operators and facilitators that is truly unmatched in this industry,” said Shameek Konar, Partner and Head of Ara Energy Decarbonization. “The world’s energy demands are increasing and complex, and renewable power needs time and support for it to fulfill rising global energy demand. Ara’s builder skillset, portfolio network and decarbonization management knowledge is perfectly positioned to attack the carbon-intensive energy sector. This partnership and new strategy will significantly reduce carbon emissions and play a meaningful role in transitioning our economy to a low-carbon future.”

Mr. Konar possesses more than 25 years of experience in the energy and commodity markets, focusing on acquiring, integrating and optimizing assets. He most recently served as Chief Executive Officer of Pilot Company, the largest supplier of transportation fuels in North America, with over 1.5 billion gallons of renewable fuels sold to the transportation sector in 2022. During his tenure as CEO, Pilot led the industry with an innovative partnership with General Motors, developing a nationwide network of DC fast chargers at Pilot locations with the aim of reducing “range anxiety” for EV owners. Ara’s new investment team, led by Mr. Konar, has experience in driving significant value through commercial asset optimization, consistently improving performance.

“We are proud to partner with and make a significant capital commitment behind Ara, Shameek, and his team of talented colleagues leading this new strategy,” said Jimmy Haslam. “Beginning with my father, our family built Pilot from one gas station in 1958 to a business with nearly 800 locations across the US and more than $50 billion in revenue. Shameek succeeded me as CEO of Pilot in 2020 and did an exceptional job leading, growing, and optimizing the business until its sale earlier this year. We are thrilled to continue our partnership with Shameek and are proud to make a significant commitment behind him and his team of talented colleagues.”

By focusing on two primary pillars – GHG emissions reduction and waste management – that are integrated and evaluated across all its investments, Ara identifies businesses centered at the nexus of emissions reduction potential (ERP) and financial returns, investing in those that most strongly demonstrate this collinearity.

Since 2017, Ara Partners has focused on the high-polluting areas of the industrial economy, helping to advance the global economy’s transition to net-zero and provide the products and services the world relies on with less waste and lower emissions. Ara has built a portfolio of businesses that are meaningfully decarbonizing the industrial economy. In 2023, Ara delivered emissions reductions of 10.8 million metric tonnes of CO 2 equivalent and eliminated 424.4 thousand metric tonnes of waste across its private equity and infrastructure strategies. To help its 27 portfolio companies build real, producing assets and retrofit legacy ones, the firm boasts a deep bench of decarbonization and carbon accounting experts as well as builder industry veterans with portfolio development capital expenditures reserves of up to $5 billion.

“At Ara, we know what is possible when it comes to decarbonizing the most hard-to-abate and critical sectors,” said Troy Thacker, Co-Founder and Managing Partner of Ara. “We have a proven track record of repurposing existing assets that are required for the net-zero economy, and we have the portfolio and network of cutting-edge technologies and services to do this more efficiently, resulting in a serious opportunity to remove millions of tonnes of harmful GHG emissions. This new strategy complements our existing Private Equity and Infrastructure strategies, allowing us to achieve larger-scale climate impact and delivering a clear path to a renewable future.”

About Ara Partners

Founded in 2017, Ara Partners is a global private equity and infrastructure firm dedicated to decarbonizing the industrial economy. Ara seeks to build, scale, and optimize companies with significant decarbonization impact across the industrial and manufacturing, chemicals and materials, energy efficiency and fuels, and food and agriculture sectors. The company operates from offices in Houston, Boston, Washington, D.C., and Dublin. Ara Partners closed its third private equity fund in December 2023 with over $2.8 billion in new capital commitments. As of June 30, 2024, Ara Partners had approximately $6.3 billion of assets under management.
