SHIPS MADE IN GERMANY<br />
Beyond frontiers<br />
When it comes to greater susta<strong>in</strong>ability and reduc<strong>in</strong>g emissions, the shipp<strong>in</strong>g<br />
<strong>in</strong>dustry needs to turn away from fossil fuels and f<strong>in</strong>d new energy sources.<br />
Fuel cells could pave the way <strong>in</strong>to a green future on mega yachts<br />
The German yacht builder Lürssen has earned an <strong>in</strong>ternational<br />
reputation as the specialist <strong>in</strong> exclusive, bespoke<br />
yachts of outstand<strong>in</strong>g eng<strong>in</strong>eer<strong>in</strong>g mastery. Innovation has always<br />
been one of the most important driv<strong>in</strong>g forces <strong>in</strong> the company’s<br />
history.<br />
In 1886 Lürssen built the first motorboat of the world together<br />
with Gottlieb Daimler. S<strong>in</strong>ce then, more than a hundred luxury<br />
yachts hit the water at the shipyards at Bremen and Rendsburg.<br />
Among the Top 30 of biggest vessels cruis<strong>in</strong>g the seven seas, 15<br />
were built by Lürssen. The latest addition to the fleet was the<br />
142 m project »Nord«, only recently delivered to Russian billionaire<br />
Alexander Mordashov.<br />
For years, owners of newbuilds were concerned with the utmost<br />
luxury on board and numerous features such as m<strong>in</strong>isubmar<strong>in</strong>es,<br />
underwater salons and helicopter hangars. However,<br />
the focus on susta<strong>in</strong>ability is also ga<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> importance<br />
<strong>in</strong> yacht build<strong>in</strong>g. While eng<strong>in</strong>eers have always been keen to<br />
maximize the efficiency of ship operations, owners are<br />
now more and more demand<strong>in</strong>g susta<strong>in</strong>able designs<br />
and technical solutions.<br />
