Both will be used as private vessels, mainly cruising the Baltics, Denmark and Norway, according to Knud E. Hansen.<img src="/uploads/store/photo/50670/image/large-1ea5115febf0ffb6eae12ff0b646f6b2.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/50670"><a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/5944" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Poseidon26.05m (85'6&quot;)">Poseidon</a> and <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/5943" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Arizona26.05m (85'6&quot;)">Arizona</a> are based on the same design platform, but each features an exterior and interior design that has been customised to their own owner’s preferences. Able to accommodate up to 10 guests overnight, both vessels are also designed to be operated by a minimum of two people, following the demand for shorthanded operations. &nbsp;<img src="/uploads/store/photo/50665/image/large-1095a80efdc2463e342290fa2449a0ec.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/50665">In addition, both superyachts are equipped with a hybrid propulsion system that consists of diesel generators with batteries serving as an auxiliary power source. This silent power source ensures that the vessels are able to cruise the most pristine areas quietly, without any harmful emissions or engine noises. &nbsp;<img src="/uploads/store/photo/50663/image/large-c83f43a41e95d8fefdd61af8716c6b8c.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/50663">In order to save fuel when cruising at lower speeds, the hybrid system is able to operate on only one main engine which can run both propellers. <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/5944" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Poseidon26.05m (85'6&quot;)">Poseidon</a> and <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/5943" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Arizona26.05m (85'6&quot;)">Arizona</a> have a maximum speed of 12 knots and an economical speed of 10 knots.
