Hybrid Boat

A truly innovative and radical vessel that will combine the durability of the existing crew transfer catamaran and the advance in hybrid power.

Six months ago Aluminium Marine Consultants sought to take a step back and look closely at the feasibility of producing a truly innovative and radical vessel that would combine the durability of the existing crew transfer catamaran and the advance in hybrid power, not just related to marine, but to look beyond into automotive technology. 

The Hagar vessel is based on proven design and existing technology but, AMC stresses, one that will go straight to work as a direct replacement of an existing crew transfer vessel or any vessel of a comparable size.

The systems incorporated within the design are all available and proven, AMC have bought them together in one innovative design. From the start of this project AMC wanted to use its experience of building offshore wind farm vessels and engage with all interested parties to reach a consensus of what is Important. 

The Hybrid system selected will be a serial hybrid/diesel electric instillation. The aim is to have a vessel that has the capability of leaving harbour on battery power with a up to a 2 hour run out to the wind farm. The vessel will have the capability of loitering for 6 hours at 5-8 Kts on battery power before a 2 hour return to harbour. This will give 6 hours of saving on fuel and  engine maintenance.
