One of the greenest superyachts ever built, Feadship’s Obsidian, has been delivered to her undisclosed owner. While most ships brag about beauty, brawn, and being a behemoth, Obsidian garners accolades with “net zero” claims. The 285 feet hybrid superyacht seems to be the boat of the future from the Dutch shipyard. It has successfully completed its maiden voyage boasting an array of avant-garde design elements.

What sets this ship apart from its predecessors are second-generation biodiesel generators that considerably reduce carbon emissions by a whopping 90 percent compared to conventional fuel-consuming yachts.

The eco-conscious owner wanted it no other way. In fact, he desired a vessel so efficient it would leave Feadship’s first hybrid yacht, Savannah, behind, and Obsidian Yacht does the needful. Upping the coolness quotient of the luxury superyacht is an Aqua Lounge that becomes the eyes to explore the underwater world with large windows below sea level. The asymmetrical atrium staircase welcomes guests into the lower deck dining saloon, where the soul feeds on one-of-a-kind terrace views just above sea level. Obsidian offers a dining experience unlike any other superyacht; one might just forget about hunger and revel in the vistas.

Up to twelve guests have the time of their life while being serviced by a crew of twenty-seven. Among several noteworthy features of the Obsidian is an observation lounge with double curved glass floor-to-ceiling windows. These sprawling views are enjoyed even from the main deck, packed with engineered glass throughout.

The Feadship ground-breaker boasts fold-out balconies and a spacious beach club area that extends towards the open sea. It is also impressing industry experts owing to the louvered aft deck carbon fiber overhangs attached to the aluminum superstructure that eliminate pillars, thus considerably reducing weight.

The boat lives up to its brief of being zero-emission and has a 1,000-volt system making it fully powered by electricity. Obsidian cruises for 35 nautical miles at 10 knots on batteries alone. “There are so many points of energy savings integrated on this yacht that it is hard to count,” said project manager Mark Jansen to Boat International. This next-generation yacht is setting a high benchmark for all future yacht builders and owners, but one that’s worth following.

Feadship Delivers 84m OBSIDIAN: The Future of Superyacht Sustainability

By Frances Flannagan

84.20m OBSIDIAN is Feadship's first delivery of 2023. She represents a significant step towards Feadship's goal of producing carbon-neutral superyachts by 2030. She is the first of Feadship’s new generation of superyachts furthering carbon reduction through a variety of innovative methods.

OBSIDIAN was built with the intention to be even more energy efficient than SAVANNAH, Feadship’s ground-breaking hybrid yacht launched in 2015. Through hulls optimised at cruising speed, weight control, advancements in electric propulsion, and the ability to run engines on HVO, a non-fossil diesel fuel which reduces carbon emissions by 90%, OBSIDIAN represents the future of sustainable yachting solutions. She has 4.5 times more electrical storage capacity than SAVANNAH along with no draft shafts or rudders, preventing added drag. Whereas SAVANNAH and LONIAN operated on 560 volts, OBSIDIAN is a 1000-volt system as she is fully powered by electricity. 

A key focus for fuel savings onboard OBSIDIAN is capturing “waste” heat to use for other purposes. Waste heat is captured from the generators and from the AC chillers themselves, the AC being the largest consumer of energy. This energy is essentially carbon-free as it reuses incidental heat generated by another function. Mark Jansen, Project Manager, has recognised the success of energy saving onboard OBSIDIAN: ‘There are so many points of energy savings integrated on this yacht that it is hard to count’. 

An innovative heat pump system which transforms thermal energy from one place to another is used to pull heat from various sources. According to Jongepier, it is five times more efficient than making heat with a regular electrical heating coil. A computer system onboard helps to choose the appropriate combination of sources which translates into a number of operational modes. 

OBSIDIAN’S hull form contributes to the advanced sustainable nature of the yacht. She has a low, slim hull optimised at cruising using computational fluid dynamics (CFD). Carbon fibre has been effectively used for weight reductions, a complex engineering method which also offers new deck layout possibilities. 

The volume of OBSIDIAN is typical of that on 100m Feadships. The single level engine room leaves more scope for interior layout, and she features a total of seven staterooms. Her bold and modern exterior translates to the interior design, both penned by RWD in collaboration with MONK Design. From a spectacular Aqua Lounge to an observation lounge with floor-to-ceiling windows offering stunning views, the interior design of OBSIDIAN is just as impressive as her advanced sustainability. 

Bram Jongepier, Senior Designer at Feadship De Voogt Naval Architects, developed a sustainability index, which became known as YETI: the Yacht Environmental Transparency Index. This is a guide which shows how all of a yacht’s operations and components contribute to its carbon profile and environmental impact. This shows how Feadship goes further than just reducing CO2 emissions by addressing the overall environmental impact of its vessels. This tool is significant in relation to OBSIDIAN as it can show just how much of a step forward she is with regards to sustainability, showcasing the success of Feadship’s environmental developments. 

YETI operates on the philosophy that one cannot control what one cannot measure. The algorithms describing the environmental impact of individual components, for instance CO2 emissions, have been made freely available by Feadship to the signatories of the Water Revolution Foundation. This foundation is dedicated to driving sustainability in the superyacht industry, resulting in a Joint Industry Project (JIP) under the flag of the Water Revolution Foundation.

The YETI JIP produced a tool that is able to predict the environmental impact of an operational year in the yacht’s lifecycle. Using this tool, it is estimated that OBSIDIAN will operate with 27% less total environmental impact than a similar size yacht launched just five years ago if run on fossil fuel, and 60% less when using HVO. 

Superyachts.com would like to congratulate Feadship on the successful delivery of this ground-breaking yacht.

Obsidian: Feadship’s first delivery of 2023 raises the bar on carbon reduction

Feadship is another step closer to the goal of producing carbon-neutral superyachts by 2030. The recently built 84.20-metre Obsidian is the first of Feadship’s new generation of large yachts furthering carbon reduction through hulls optimised at cruising speed instead of top speed, weight control, advancements in electric propulsion, and the ability to run engines on non-fossil diesel fuel called HVO. In fact, the yacht's trials were conducted with the generators running on this second-generation biofuel, reducing carbon emissions by 90% compared to yachts operating on fossil fuels.

The brief for the yacht was to be more energy efficient and emit less carbon than Feadship’s ground-breaking hybrid yacht, Savannah , which launched in 2015. Reducing the environmental impact by more than 30% would have been a tall order in any case, but the entire 12-month design period for Obsidian occurred at the height of a global pandemic. With Covid-19 lockdowns, none of the designers, engineers, or other parties were able to collaborate in person.

Working in parallel, Bram Jongepier, Senior Designer at Feadship De Voogt Naval Architects, developed a sustainability index, providing a great deal of guidance on how all of a yacht’s components and operations contribute to its carbon profile and environmental impact.

Reducing CO2 emissions is a top priority, but Feadship goes even further by addressing the overall environmental impact of its vessels. The emissions of nitric oxide and nitrogen dioxide (NOx), particulate matter, hydrocarbons, and the impact of building materials like steel, aluminium, fairing compounds, antifouling, teak, interior finishing, and more, are under scrutiny. This, together with CO2 emissions, is what we call environmental impact, which is calculated using life cycle assessments (LCA).

Yacht Environmental Transparency Index

Jongepier’s work became known as YETI, the Yacht Environmental Transparency Index. Operating on the philosophy that one cannot control what one cannot measure, the algorithms describing the environmental impact of CO2, NOx, particulate matter, shore power, and fuel production have been made freely available by Feadship to the signatories of the Water Revolution Foundation, a yachting industry association dedicated to driving sustainability in the superyacht industry through collaboration and innovation. This led to a Joint Industry Project (JIP) under the flag of the Water Revolution Foundation with twenty major partners in the yachting industry.

The YETI JIP produced a tool which, with data augmented now by other partners like engine manufacturers, predicts the environmental impact of a standardized operational year in the yacht’s lifecycle. Jongepier estimates that YETI effectively captures 90% of the total lifecycle of a yacht and each new build helps gather more data. It is estimated that Obsidian will operate with 27% less total environmental impact than a yacht of similar size launched only five years ago if run on fossil fuel, and 60% less when using HVO.

For Obsidian , the first step was building on innovation from the award-winning Savannah . Using Feadship’s Advanced Electrical Drive (FAED) program for diesel-electric hybrid power, Obsidian has 4.5 times more electrical storage capacity than our first hybrid yacht, Savannah . She has no drive shafts and no rudders, preventing added drag caused by these appendages. Propulsion and steering are supplied by a pair of Veth contra-rotating thrusters that deliver both functions. Veth’s experience with compact units for ships operating on rivers was seen as a perfect fit for a yacht specified for a relatively shallow draft. Feadship and Veth collaborated on computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis of the shapes of the drive legs and the propellors to maximize efficiency and minimize vibration, dampening vibration being another key component of the brief.

Powering it all is a 4.5 MWh battery bank that is charged by four generators — two large and two small, custom, variable speed units based on tweaked CatC32 engines with permanent magnet alternators that deliver power as needed. Where Savannah and Lonian – which launched in 2018 – operated on 560 volts, the DC system on Obsidian is a staggering 1,000-volt system because the yacht is fully powered by electricity. A total of 560 battery modules are housed in a special chilled room amidships on the tank deck, revealing another benefit of the hybrid system: The components no longer need to be adjacent. The thrusters are in the best location for steering and water flow, while the generators and their exhaust systems, batteries, and electrical switchboard are located elsewhere for optimal weight distribution and crew access. Obsidian should be able to cruise for 35 nm at 10 knots on batteries alone. At anchor, the batteries will provide silent operation for 10-15 hours.

Fuel savings

Advanced propulsion alone, however, would not result in the level of fuel savings required. When analysing Obsidian using the YETI tool, it revealed that about 60% of the energy consumed goes simply to powering the onboard lifestyle – the air conditioning, heating, hot water, lighting, cooking, entertainment electronics, pools, and laundry service. Reducing the energy needed to provide for the yacht’s “hotel” load became the target.

Several major innovations adapted for Obsidian address these target areas through peak load shaving and reducing HVAC demand through the computerized management of cooling guest and crew zones. But since making and using energy creates heat, capturing unwanted or “waste” heat to be used for other purposes became a key focus. Out of every 100kW of energy created by fossil fuel combustion in a typical internal combustion engine, only 35 to 40% is effective mechanical energy, with the rest being heat, usually discarded overboard with the water-cooling system and in the exhaust gasses. Feadship’s design and engineering team began by developing a much more comprehensive system than simply using generator cooling water to heat a swimming pool, a process that has become standard for many superyacht builders.

Considering that 25% of that "hotel" energy demand is about making heat, everything that needed heat was identified. The largest consumer was air conditioning.

The reason being that to sufficiently dehumidify the surrounding sea air, the HVAC system needs to cool incoming fresh air to about 7 degrees Celsius, but then, to keep the interior from feeling like a meat locker, heating units must warm the air to the desired temperature for each room.

Many points of energy savings

Conventional installations typically reheat with an electric heating element, but Obsidian uses waste heat for that purpose. Not only is waste heat captured from the generators, but also from the AC chillers themselves. This is not just free energy, but it is essentially carbon-free energy because it reuses incidental heat generated by another function. “There are so many points of energy savings integrated on this yacht that it is hard to count,” said Project Manager Mark Jansen.

Urged to explore all avenues, Feadship’s engineers introduced an innovative heat pump system to pull heat from various sources, including ambient sea water. Using a heat pump, which transports thermal energy (heat) from one place to another, is five times more efficient than simply making heat with a regular electrical heating coil, according to Jongepier.

An onboard computer system helps to choose seamlessly the appropriate combination of sources. This translates into the following operational modes:

• In harbour at normal sea temperatures plugged into shore power: Heat is provided by AC compressor waste heat, augmented by the heat pump if necessary.
• At anchor at normal sea temperature, operating on battery power: Heat provided by AC compressor waste heat, augmented by heat pump if necessary.
• Sailing, at anchor or in harbour at normal sea temperature with generators in operation: All necessary heat provided by generator waste heat.

Because the path to carbon-neutral superyachts goes far beyond a single solution, Obsidian also involved fresh approaches to the hull form. De Voogt’s naval architects created the low, slim hull, optimized at cruising speed using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) with the final form being made into a model tested in a towing tank. Complex engineering for balance and weight reduction includes new applications for carbon fibre. The louvered aft deck overhangs, for example, are all carbon fibre attached to the aluminium superstructure and require no support pillars. This weight benefit also offered new deck layout possibilities.

For the first time in many years, Feadship is delivering a yacht with a single level engine room, which gave her designers considerably more freedom in creating the interior layout. It also lends more space for guest accommodation and features a total of seven staterooms. According to Jansen, the volume of this 84-metre yacht is typical of that on 100-metre Feadships.

The layout is just as bold and modern as the exterior profile would suggest. Both the exterior styling and interior design are by the British firm RWD, in collaboration with MONK Design.

There are surprising destination spaces such as an asymmetrical atrium staircase leading to a lower deck dining saloon with an entire wall that opens to provide a terrace view just 75 cm above sea level.

Near the stern is an Aqua Lounge where massive windows below water level offer a unique view from the nearby gym. The Aqua Lounge can also function as a cinema and even a classroom.

From decks to the interior, the design leitmotif is all about surprise – most of the corridors and many of the rooms, as well as all of the al fresco living spaces, are not oriented on a fore and aft or athwartships axis. In fact, except for staterooms, none of the interior rooms have any 90-degree angles. A hidden staircase to a study and a sunken lounge on the main deck are just two more of the unexpected interior elements. But the biggest surprise involves the use of submarine anchors. Eliminating the need for a mooring deck forward allows Obsidian to feature a fantastic interior bow observation lounge with double curved glass floor-to-ceiling windows. Access is via a main deck corridor from the guest accommodation area through the tender garage to this hidden gem.

In keeping with the carbon reduction theme, both of the yacht’s primary tenders are electric-powered and custom made by Tenderworks. Four fast charging stations installed by the yard will allow them to be charged in the water or in the tender garage.

After the sea trials it turned out that Obsidian is even more efficient than previously calculated.

Bram Jaongepier from De Voogt Naval Architects spearheaded the project which led to the development of the Yacht Environment Transparency Index . Simply put, the index and its associated data analysis tools can predict the environmental impact of a yacht across a standard year’s operations. The index predicted that superyacht OBSIDIAN will operate with up to 60% less environmental impact than a similar 5-year-old yacht, when run on HVO (non-fossil diesel fuel).

YETI also revealed that 60% of the energy consumed on board was not from propulsion but from the standard ‘hotel’ load including air conditioning, hot water, pools and lighting. The design team developed a comprehensive system of heat transfer to capture and reuse incidental heat, all controlled by an onboard computer system.

Her naval architects have gone beyond these solutions, giving her a low slim hull and carbon fibre elements on the superstructure which offers the possibility of new deck layouts. Plus the single level engine room gave her designers considerably more freedom in creating the interior layout.

Both the exterior styling and interior design are by the British firm RWD, in collaboration with MONK Design. The inspiring spaces include an asymmetrical atrium staircase leading to a lower deck dining saloon where an entire wall opens onto a sea level terrace. Near the stern is an Aqua Lounge where massive windows below water level offer a unique view. Plus there is a fantastic interior bow observation lounge with double curved glass floor-to-ceiling windows.

Having worked on a myriad of residential and hospitality projects over the past few years, Miminat is adept at creating elegant interiors with contemporary decor, sculptural furniture, and statement lighting. K features all of the above and a sleek, stylish exterior. In contrast to the Japanese design influence, the vessel will reportedly display the finest Italian craftsmanship. As the studio puts it, K is “not only a vessel for art, but a masterpiece in and of itself.”

With an interior volume of approximately 300 GT, K offers a spacious interior with five cabins. The owner’s suite is positioned on the main deck, while a VIP and three doubles sit on the lower deck. The crew quarters are also located on the lower deck. Back on the main deck lies a salon with a Japanese-inspired lounge, a bar, and a dining area with a 10-seater table. A spiral staircase leads to a spacious upper deck with a helm and alfresco dining area.

K also offers luxurious hangouts forward and aft. The two-level aft deck centers around a singular infinity pool that waterfalls from one level to the next, while the bow is equipped with a plush lounge and firepit.

Miminat says “various engine options” will give K a maximum speed of 25 knots and a cruising speed of 16 knots. It is hard to imagine the yacht will be overly practical in tumultuous waters—especially given her scant hardtop, hull cutouts, and exposed aft deck—but, hey, at least she’ll look pretty.

First interior renderings of largest Dutch-built motor yacht revealed

The first interior renderings of Amels ' 120-metre project, now known as Project Tanzanite, have been revealed. 

The full-custom superyacht was last seen in June 2023 when she arrived at the Damen Yachting facility in Vlissingen, the Netherlands, for outfitting.

The yacht is currently the largest project in build in the Netherlands, and, once delivered in 2025, will become the largest Dutch-built motor yacht in the world.

The record-breaking yacht is also set to become the largest member of the Amels fleet, surpassing the current 89-metre flagship Here Comes The Sun by 31 metres.

The yacht features exterior design by Espen Øino , who has worked with the yard on a number of projects in the last two years. Their shared portfolio includes the Amels 60 , the Amels 80  and the 77.8-metre custom project Energy . 

Her interiors have been conceived by Nice-based studio Zuretti Design . Renderings reveal a warm, contemporary aesthetic that incorporates a cream and brown palette, curved furniture and statement walls in wood and marble.

Damen Yachting has completed the naval architecture in-house and the client will be represented throughout the build and final construction phase by Deeside Maritime.

The yacht arrived in the Netherlands from Damen Yachting's hull-building site in Galati, Romania. She was launched at the shipyard in May 2023, in a ceremony attended by local schoolchildren from the area.

Amels project manager Jeroen Waalewijn said at the time: "The launch of the hull was an emotional yet incredible moment for all of those who have played such an integral part in the realisation of the Amels 120 Full Custom so far. To see her out on the water and to now have her here in Vlissingen is a testament to the entire project team."

Project Tanzanite is set to incorporate the latest in design and technology, including diesel-electric engines and Azipod electric propulsion, which will help her "operate with the lowest levels of noise and vibration ever recorded on a yacht of this size", according to the yard.

She joins 12 other projects in build at Amels, including the 74-metre Nome , which was recently sighted on sea trials.
