The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) has issued a 12-page incident report into the 23 December 2021 collision in which the 63-metre <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1080" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Rossinavi (Company)">Rossinavi</a> superyacht <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/5696" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Utopia IV63.0m (206'8&quot;)Rossinavi2018">Utopia IV</a> struck the 48.7-metre cargo vessel Tropic Breeze.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/254014/image/large-a74bb6abba1f99f1b26549fbf77beb3c.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/254014">The two vessels collided as they were both crossing the Northeast Providence Channel, 20 miles northwest of Nassau, Bahamas in 2021. According to the report the collision was caused by inadequate lookout from <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/5696" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Utopia IV63.0m (206'8&quot;)Rossinavi2018">Utopia IV</a>’s crew, and the team failed to identify the tanker they were overtaking. As a result of this the engine room of Tropic Breeze began to take on water, before the ship finally sank. It was also noted that the crew of Tropic Breeze had also not maintained a proper lookout, which further contributed to the cause.Read:&nbsp;<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Article/54377" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Owner of Utopia IV, JR Ridinger, was not onboard during Christmas Eve crash (2022-01-05 13:00:00 +0100)">Owner of Utopia IV, JR Ridinger, was not onboard during Christmas Eve crash</a>“The captain of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/5696" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Utopia IV63.0m (206'8&quot;)Rossinavi2018">Utopia IV</a> conned the vessel while the bosun navigated and kept a bridge log,” the NTSB states. The bosun apparently reported that the weather that evening was clear, but intermittent use of the bridge window wipers was necessary, as bow spray made it difficult to see from inside the wheelhouse. The report also stated that “the display for one of the vessel’s radars (S-band) was inoperative; while the other radar (X-band) was set to a 3-mile scale.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/254015/image/large-29d221104773933dc013621a8e23db2f.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/254015">At 21:48 the captain of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/5696" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Utopia IV63.0m (206'8&quot;)Rossinavi2018">Utopia IV</a> departed the wheelhouse to check on her guests. “He stated that he saw no visual, automatic identification system (AIS), or radar targets before departing.” The captain also told investigators that he expected the bosun to manoeuvre as necessary for traffic; however, the bosun stated his understanding was that he first had to radio the captain to receive permission to manoeuvre the vessel. The superyacht was carrying seven guests and 12 crew members at the time.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/254018/image/large-eca1e009c1b18a5b007e48c95e2e5d9c.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/254018">Tropic Breeze was loaded with a cargo of 100,000 gallons of high-sulphur marine gas oil (MGO), 22,000 gallons of ultra-low sulphur MGO, 20,000 gallons of gasoline, and 8,500 gallons of liquid petroleum gas. The vessel also carried 6,000 gallons of ultra-low sulphur MGO as bunkers (vessel fuel). All but two cargo tanks were pressed up (full), and there was no ballast onboard.According to the crew of Tropic Breeze, her AIS had a power issue and worked intermittently, and was scheduled to be repaired as soon as COVID precautions allowed a technician to travel to the vessel. However, investigators found that the AIS unit had not transmitted a position in 11 months. Of the two radars onboard, one was turned off at the time and the other was set to a three-mile radius, with the radar set to alarm for targets within two miles. The crew stated that “the mast atop the bridge blocked the radar sweep aft, so the radar display showed a shadow area directly astern.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/254016/image/large-e659d6cc5d16b1ebbb491510b9051c02.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/254016">At 22:00, a CCTV camera in <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/5696" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Utopia IV63.0m (206'8&quot;)Rossinavi2018">Utopia IV</a>’s galley captured crew and equipment propelled forward as the bow struck the transom of Tropic Breeze.

He went to the bridge and reported the flooding to the master, and stated that “he did not see the source of flooding, but the engine had stopped once it was submerged.”At around 22:15, the captain of Tropic Breeze made a VHF distress call and decided to abandon the vessel and he did not believe it could survive with a flooded engine room. The crew launched the rescue boat and liferaft that was stowed aft of the bridge on the same deck, and one or two members boarded the rescue boat, while the remainder boarded the liferaft. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/199025/image/large-f7d5851932e33c58b2af59e6b3591896.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/199025">The chief engineer of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/5696" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Utopia IV63.0m (206'8&quot;)Rossinavi2018">Utopia IV</a> restarted the engines and the chief mate made a distress call by VHF radio.

NTSB issues report into 63m superyacht Utopia IV tanker collision

The NTSB has issued an incident report into the 23 December 2021 collision between the 63m superyacht Utopia IV and the 49m tanker Tropic Breeze.

Full details of the 63m superyacht Utopia IV tanker collision revealed

While multihulls have hardly taken lift off over the last decade, with catamarans and trimarans remain around 2% of the global fleet (according to <a href="https://superyachttimes.ac-page.com/homepage" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="">SYT iQ</a>), in recent years we have seen a dramatic increase in the number of catamaran concepts, designs and launches. Many of the companies that have backed the multihull often cite efficiency, “eco-friendliness” and “sustainability” as key motivators for the adoption of the hull form. But what is the science behind these claims; and has there been enough of a significant &nbsp;change in the mentality of the yacht owner, to justify the number of designs which are flooding the market? We spoke to some of those companies to get an inside look at the multihull movement and how it might shape the future of the global fleet.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/243152/image/large-9a5dff94462f873938f4847f3b172f72.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/243152">Monohull or multihull?In an article published in 2010, naval architects James Roy and Alex Meredith Hardy of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5009" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Lateral Naval Architects (Company)">Lateral Naval Architects</a> weighed up the pros and cons facing the multihull conversation. Having created innumerable designs for fast ferries, and commercial catamarans over the years, both engineers were surprised that the yachting industry had been slow to uptake the hull form. With efficiency and high speeds (+40 knots) on offer, as well as the beamy main deck platform, some might consider catamarans an ideal substitute for a monohull. But aesthetics are everything in the yachting industry, and the boxy form of catamarans has failed to catch the eye of those owners who frequent the Mediterranean.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/243181/image/large-c6914543e6f18b57554436d3995e9c7b.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/243181">The catamaran hull form does have hydrodynamic benefits. As Roy and Meredith Hardy wrote “by dividing the total displacement between two hulls, the displacement-to-length ratio is improved, and in turn the wave-making component of the total drag is substantially reduced.” In layman’s terms, catamarans can be more efficient than monohulls of the same GT due to reduced drag, but as Roy explained to <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4509" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="SuperYacht Times (Company)">SYT</a>, points of comparison must be carefully defined, with GT, rather than length being the optimum comparison base.Despite the arguments around the improved efficiency of the hull form, many builders who dominate in the sector indicate more than this as driving the sustainability of the hull form. Many of the major players in the 24-30 metre catamaran sector – consider for example Sunreef, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5188" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Silent Yachts (Company)">SILENT-YACHTS</a> and <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2504" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Wider s.r.l.

This increases the potential energy production of the yacht, which is crucial to create a well-rounded experience on board, without any compromises or limitations.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/218831/image/large-7ef1fbb54c2ffb89d751ffa81dba1ce1.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/218831">Marcello Maggi, who heads up W-Fin Sarl, the holding Company that owns 100% of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2504" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Wider s.r.l.

But we want to be innovative now, without having to wait for alternative fuels such as hybrid propulsion. We believe the best way that we can improve the efficiency and therefore sustainability of our vessels is by employing the catamaran hull form and that is why we have entered this sector.” <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/229225/image/large-7a148124a3516af9004eafc5b52a9141.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/229225">Multiple hulls = multiple benefitsHistorically plagued by criticism for their looks, it would appear that many owners are coming around to the style and aesthetics of catamarans – or,at least, that they are willing to overlook them in light of the varied benefits the hull form offers. Recent additions to the global fleet include the 65m support vessel <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/7280" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Hodor66.2m (217'2&quot;)Astilleros Armon2019">Hodor</a> and the 68m <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/8908" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Wayfinder68.2m (223'9&quot;)Astilleros Armon2021">Wayfinder</a> from Spanish shipyard <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/799" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Astilleros Armon (Company)">Astilleros Armon</a>. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/83673/image/large-c39a02cf7e80bf63ad8e7b2022beac0f.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/83673">Unlike the smaller cats from <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1158" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Sunreef Yachts (Company)">Sunreef</a> and <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5188" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Silent Yachts (Company)">SILENT-YACHTS</a>, the two vessels have been specifically chosen for the width and stability they offer, making them able to carry a huge selection of tenders and toys. <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/7280" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Hodor66.2m (217'2&quot;)Astilleros Armon2019">Hodor</a> has a 14-metre beam, a helipad, a fleet of tenders, the largest of which is 17-metres, an ROV launched from a purpose built crane, a dive centre with decompression chamber, a selection of four-wheel drive vehicles and a full suite of toys. All of this alongside cabins for 20 crew and a number of guests in luxury accommodations.&nbsp;As previously mentioned, the benefits of multiple hulls have many, and the companies discussed here have a firm belief in the growing popularity of the hull form. As Marcello Maggi of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2504" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Wider s.r.l. (Company)">Wider</a> concluded, “We believe that our catamaran is a catalyst for several elements that make her suitable for a customer choice. The abundance of the surfaces that can accommodate the cutting-edge mini solar panels that avoid turning on the endothermic devices, increasing the comfort aboard with limited noise and vibration, and these are some of the strength points of this innovative product.” <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/217057/image/large-cdb33dec87739692a755aa801b46f5e5.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/217057">All of the companies we spoke with shared the same sentiment; that clients are opening up to the concept of a catamaran, many in part for the various “green” benefits they offer, be it additional solar panel positioning, hydrodynamic benefits and hybrid potential. As Federico Rossi commented, “We hear clients saying right now, ‘We are ready to move into the multihull sector’ and I think part of this drive is to do with a new generation of owners who are focused for the first time on leaving the world in a better position than they found it. They have a greener vision of the world and share a feeling of responsibility toward the oceans and so it doesn’t surprise me that there is a movement toward catamarans for these Millennial owners.”With at least 30 catamaran’s of sizes ranging from from 24 to 56 metres currently in-build, we will certainly be seeing an increase in the sector over the coming years, and from the opinions shared above, it is fair to say that the trend is only just beginning to take shape… so watch this space.&nbsp;This article was originally published in&nbsp;<a href="https://www.superyachttimes.com/yacht-news/superyacht-times-issue-42" target="_blank">Issue 42 of SuperYacht Times newspaper.</a>&nbsp;To read more stories like this one and to never again miss another issue of the SuperYacht Times newspaper,&nbsp;<a href="https://shop.superyachttimes.com/report/the-superyacht-times-subscription" target="_blank">subscribe here</a>.

<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1080" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Rossinavi (Company)">Rossinavi</a> has announced the construction of its new 42.75-metre hybrid-electric catamaran, Sea Cat. Much like phytoplankton, which is capable of photosynthesis, the Sea Cat can store energy and convert it into electricity.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/243156/image/large-71c54305cc3fb912c6bd5ee458b4716f.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/243156">The exterior design of Sea Cat was penned by <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/585" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Ital Projects - Fulvio de Simoni (Company)">Fulvio de Simoni</a>, who chose to create a sleek look that differs from the traditional image of catamarans all while remaining under 500 GT.

During her multi-day trip mode, she can cruise for multiple days, passing the nights at anchor, and spending 90 percent of her entire time in full-electric mode. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/243157/image/large-163d0f9af44e0a8b06e159b3be639059.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/243157">Transatlantic mode allows for Atlantic crossings with 80 percent of the time in full-electric mode and 20 percent spent in diesel-electric mode using diesel generators. &nbsp;In this scenario, CO2 emissions are reduced by around 40 tonnes if compared to a traditional yacht of the same size.The superyacht Sea Cat also has a hibernation mode for specific periods when the yacht is moored. Thanks to her solar panels, energy is absorbed to make the catamaran self-sufficient in terms of electric consumption. She can even donate the excess absorbed energy to a marina or to a private property which can feed up to an entire villa.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/243150/image/large-8771c8c82ed7b2eacb775adfd7360943.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/243150">Sea Cat is able to accommodate up to 10 guests across five sumptuous staterooms with an owners suite and four staterooms located on the hulls.
