    Love those ocean rescue conversion. As long as they have a good captain and mechanics, they will be safe

    I served as ch/eng.on a twin Voith unit tug for 15 years…they ARE very manoeuvrable,BUT they are not as far as I know as fuel efficient as propeller units…I would have used azimuthing props…but if money is no object ,well there you go.cheers,Roly🇬🇧.

      The main advantage of this system is that it eliminates the need for additional stabilisation like Fin Stabilisers or Gyros. A big big pro in terms of simplicity and of course investment.
      Also the vessel will be equipped with very efficient generators, controlled through an advanced power management system. And since the vessel is not meant to go fast, slow cruising is actually very efficient.

    It should look simple and work with no limits. Purposeful builds in pairs.

    Sounds like it will be a dream for helicopter pilots and they're passengers should feel more comfortable during landings also stabilizing comfort for on board guests when the vessel is holding still for take off and landing.

    Nobody seems to mention that the "Havila Tigris" or "Ocean Ness" was built at Kleven, the same yard that built both the "Ulyesses"

  • @snowgorilla9789
    @snowgorilla9789 Před rokem +2

    As a shipbuilder I wonder why Voith Schieder for a long range vessel, there are reasons not many built as such. Not knocking the system at all, it is very good but exposed blades.

    The original vessel looks more versatile as an expedition yacht. The conversion yacht looks more like a beachside cruiser for serving cocktails.

      This is exploration for the idle rich not science, so the floating bordello effect and stockpiles of booze can't be ignored. There is a glut of tasteless oligarch superyachts on the market atm. Perhaps this drives the expedition fad ?

    Good Nz morning mate. Looks a pretty awesome project, and will be great to see the finished result. Is there a accurate estimate on final cost.???. I like it. However, . As Mr Billy Shakespeare once said..."aaaah to sleep, perchance to dream." Yes, slightly misquoted. Anyway John, another great presentation. Thank you for sharing and for taking the time to upload. Take care mate.

    Very cool conversion, but those new 'propellers' look kind of fragile.

    I don't think it's any fair to have 2 giant mixers chopping all marine life as if they were onions. - Please use enclosed propellers or jets.

    “Epic” seems such an underwhelming statement.

  • @eccentricsmithy2746

    worst prop design ever, the smallest chunk of ice or a nice size submerged log WILL snap those blades off like glass. I seen it 100s of times in my maritime career Dont even think of so much as scraping the bottom, you ruin everything. At least with a actual prop or azipods the blades are somewhat protected as they normally do not protrude past the keel line, and much more robust.
