Hybrid Propulsion System for a Superyacht


Mechanical Design and Integration | Product Supply | Installation | Service

Customer: Tankoa Yachts 

Challenge:

Mechanical integration of a hybrid propulsion system for a 50 meter superyacht built in aluminium.

Solution:

Binta d‘Or, powered by Diesel MTU 4000 8V and a parallel hybrid, features a hybrid system interposed between diesel and gearbox with a 300 kW axial-flow electric motor. Engagement and disengagement of the electric motor via a tooth coupling for maximum passive safety. VULKAN’s engineering of the integrated mechanical propulsion system features the propulsion unit installed, via T Series flexible mountings, on a skid with a separate PROPFLEX T tail shaft coupling by VULKAN, to ensure the maximum level of structural noise isolation.

Advantages:

The hybrid system enables four different drive modes and offers considerable fuel savings and reduced noise levels.
