in low-acceleration zones. Extensive hull development and testing have been completed to ensure that the vessel will ride comfortably.
Artefact has been built under the new IMO Tier III low emissions regulations with an array of first-of-their-kind technology features and engineering advances that reflect the owner’s desire to create an experience as breathtaking as the seas it explores. She is the first hybrid superyacht to have a DC bus, batteries and a variable speed Diesel Electric ABB Pod propulsion system. This is designed offering higher efficiency and lower emissions plus, lower noise and vibration. The yacht also utilises an advanced Dynamic Positioning System to protecting sensitive sea bed areas that could otherwise be damaging by anchoring.
Captain Aaron T. Clark the owner’s project manager who oversaw the build and now takes the yacht to sea as her master said, “Artefact is a unique vessel that marries cutting-edge engineering and striking architectural design to embody a tribute to the nuances of human experience that are often overlooked or ignored. Many traditional aspects of superyacht GAs have been challenged and reimagined in this design to create an unprecedented experience while minimising impact on fragile marine ecosystems.”
Among other significant efforts taken to protect the environment is the use of solar panels and a large battery storage system allowing the vessel to operate for a limited time with no internal combustion engines operating. A perfect marriage of art and science through innovation.
