New boats: 45m Green Voyager hybrid motor yacht concept by Kingship

Kingship shipyard, one of the top yacht builders in Asia, in a press conference held at the 2009 Ft. Lauderdale International Boat Show, announced a new boat concept. Kingship’s Green Voyager 144' is a unique, low impact motor yacht, capable of global cruising, and at the same time offering both luxury and comfort. The hybrid motor yacht can use and store energy from the different sources. A photo-voltaic mounted roof-top provides the yacht with solar energy. Power Management System created by Siemens sends excess energy to the batteries and diligently control its extraction during the day and at night.It has to reduce the power demand by an average of 20%. Kingship could even achieve the highest Platinum level of Green Star Plus. Green Voyager concept has the opportunity to enter protected sea areas with the most exotic and rare cruising grounds of the world. To achieve this, Kingships’ engineers and Axis Designs have worked to increase the hull’s efficiency. The plumb bow is not only practical, but stylish. Green Voyager will be offered with three different propulsion and generating packages. The Green Voyager interior by Kingship is one that extends the onboard life not only from the ‘tropical loft cool’ interior to the deck but stretches beyond with fold down balconies to overview the emerald waters on which the yacht rests. Green voyager’s beach house interior consists of 12 full height opening windows giving greater cross ventilation than any yacht to date. Public areas like the salon were conceived to be wide-open when desired to allow full cross-ventilation with no obstructions. Fold down balconies further enhance air flow.
