IN VARIOUS AREAS
Over the years, the shipyard team developed many smart solutions, several of which became industry-trendsetters. Research and development re-shaped industry practices and has always been the backbone of the Royal Huisman’s success.
One example is the pioneering use of aluminum for yachts and race boats in the 1960s, 70s and 80s. Another is Project 384, Ethereal, the world’s first hybrid superyacht and launched by Royal Huisman in 2008.
Recent pioneering work such as the laser fiber-optic exterior lighting system for Project 403, Phi, “FeatherlightTM” program for Project 405, Nilaya, and hybrid energy generation and management systems for various projects, is in the process of re-shaping industry practice.
Innovation is always ongoing at the shipyard: new inhouse design and engineering skills ensure that there is the potential to improve the efficiency, reliability and performance of yachts. This results in the saving of energy, cost, and/or weight, and increases user experience and comfort onboard yachts.
Smart energy concepts and sustainable materials used on new and existing yachts, in order to minimize their impact on the environment and climate. Currently, fuels of the future and various sustainable materials are being researched.
An approach aimed at saving weight and contributing to improved performance and lower fuel consumption.
The FeatherlightTM program was cleverly developed by the shipyard’s inhouse R&D team, backed up by 60 years of experience with aluminum construction. FeatherlightTM combines the best of both worlds: performance and luxury.
Focusing specifically on yacht owners and their enjoyment of commissioning and sailing a Royal Huisman yacht, innovative thinking is applied to:
Creating a great experience for clients in every phase of the yacht’s build, and time spent on the oceans.
New types of rigs that improve performance, simplicity and functionality, to enable a more sustainable use of yachts.
The latest technology in our design & manufacturing process to improve lead time and efficiency.
