HINCKLEY PICNIC BOAT SIGNATURE EDITION YACHT Model: Picnic Boat 40 S Builder: Hinckley Yachts The hybrid upgrade enables Hinckley’s iconic Picnic Boat to run in near silence. The vessel glides silently away from the dock and can travel farther than with an electric-only platform. With SilentJet engaged, the Picnic Boat 40 S’s cruising speed is seven knots. Range is at least an hour (at seven knots, and up to 90 minutes at 5.5 knots), and the Picnic Boat 40 S cruises at 35 knots (depending on load) under diesel power. Location: Portsmouth, Rhode Island Propulsion: Hinckley SilentJet™ technology,...

This parallel hybrid system uses standard Twin Disc propulsion control. It's best suited for vessels with long waits between jobs, high percentage of slow speed operation, and operating in restricted areas and zero emission zones. Twin Disc technology enables implementation into any standard QuickShift® marine transmission. 1. System Overview • Parallel hybrid using diesel and electric power • During low-power operation, the e-motor uses excess diesel power to generate electricity • In high-demand phases, electric power can boost diesel power 2. Marine Transmission • Based on standard marine...

SMOOTHER, EMISSION-FREE SAILING. Three Veth VL-700 L-drives (533 kW) provide the primary propulsion for the Oranje Nassau VI, incorporated in a revolutionary hull design that lets the tanker move smoothly through shallow waters. A battery charged by the ship’s engines can power the L-drives’ electric motors when required, enabling the vessel to sail through harbors emission-free. Veth Propulsion by Twin Disc provided an additional three L-drives for the Oranje Nassau V.

This serial hybrid system uses an electric motor and can both generate power and store energy. The system optimizes fuel consumption with a generator. It's best suited for vessels operating in restricted areas and zero emission zones. 1. System Overview • Serial hybrid using electric power • Optimizes fuel use via gensets operating at the top of their fuel efficiency range. When propellers operate at low power, some gensets can be switched off, and the rest continue in their optimal range • Machinery compartments can be located to optimize cargo space or meet class requirements 2. Azimuth Thruster...
