Feadship unveils new 110m project with green innovations

Dutch shipyard, Feadship has unveiled its latest project, Escape. The 110-metre (360-foot) superyacht will harness the very latest cutting edge features to fully embrace the notion of freedom, whilst creating a greener footprint.

Feadship stresses that this is not just a concept, but a project ready to be built today, leading the way in showcasing what is truly possible in superyacht design.

The exterior will feature a spectacular ’moon pool’ providing 360-degree views of the underwater world and a greenhouse where owners can grow their own herbs and vegetables. Meanwhile, a private submarine and myCopter - a personal drone helicopter - will enable passengers to ‘secretly’ escape and explore their surroundings by sea and sky.

At the epicentre, the atrium will be a communal space for family and friends to gather around the moon pool. Filled with seawater, the moon pool doubles as a secret submarine landing zone, as well as a swimming pool where passengers can enjoy inter-deck splashes via the giant slide, or take the panoramic glass elevator into the sea to marvel at the surrounding ocean fish tank. Meanwhile, the garden and greenhouse will create a healthy on-board ambience and space to fully switch off, also complemented by a state of the art wellness area featuring a spa, sauna and massage room.

With a number of green innovations, a stand out feature will be the 700 square metres of solar panelling, which will be a first for a yacht of this size. Plus, a number of other technologies have been designed to enable fuel consumption savings of up to 35%, whilst providing excellent manoeuvrability at full speed, silent electric cruising and a wealth of redundancy options. Sustainable technologies will also include hybrid propulsion, plus an enthalpy wheel to pre-cool the AC intake with exhaust air, as well as reheat AC air with waste heat from the generators.

Commenting on the new concept, Feadship’s marketing and brand director, Farouk Nefzi said, “This is a very exciting time for Feadship as we continue to push boundaries in superyacht innovation. Working with world-class designers on this project, we have created new, sustainable technology that we hope can be shared across the industry as we continue to build a greener footprint.

“Whilst there are many remarkable yacht concepts, very few are realistically achievable. We are therefore extremely proud to say that the designs for Escape are actually possible to create, and ready to be built today, offering a first-of-its-kind experience.”
