It further emphasises the rights of people with disabilities, promotes the preservation of the marine environment by minimising plastic use and preventing pollution, requires adherence to safe navigation guidelines, and ensures that charterers comply with the terms of their contracts.The introduction of the new regulation coincides with the launch of SRSA’s awareness campaign, “More Than a Sea,” through which the Authority underscores its role in developing a thriving coastal tourism sector.

<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/29" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Feadship (Company)">Feadship</a> has unveiled the first details of the new 75-metre electric fuel cell yacht concept&nbsp;C, created to celebrate the brand's 75th Diamond Anniversary. With more details due to be announced during the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Event/224" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Monaco Yacht Show - 2024">Monaco Yacht Show 2024</a>, her name is inspired by the chemical symbol for carbon – the fundamental element that forms diamonds – paying homage to both the material and the anniversary milestone of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/29" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Feadship (Company)">Feadship</a>.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/328257/image/large-e0a745afcb5157120c3cc4d705303e0d.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/328257">Designed by Ruud Bakker and Tanno Weeda, C draws inspiration from the patterns that are formed when light reflects and magnifies from the cut of a diamond, with her profile mimicking this with mesmerising angles. Images of the yacht are yet to be revealed, but <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/29" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Feadship (Company)">Feadship</a> describes the yacht as having “an unforgettable profile” and “broad expanses of glass.”Due to her expansive use of glass, the interiors of C are illuminated by natural light, to create a fluid living space for guests onboard. The exterior design of C also blurs the lines between her decks, with her fore and aft sections offset by a half-level to create a smooth transition between each space.Other design innovations onboard C are the partially enclosed lower deck sea lounge that can be used at anchor or underway, a beach club with sea-level dining, a duplex owner’s suite and an articulating crow’s nest rising from a private observation deck.In terms of exterior deck spaces, C is equipped with a pair of infinity-edge hexagonal pools, which aim to match the shapes of her various seating arrangements and atrium. “There’s nothing rough about this diamond in <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/29" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Feadship (Company)">Feadship</a>’s concept collection,” explained <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/29" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Feadship (Company)">Feadship</a>. “As with all <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/29" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Feadship (Company)">Feadship</a> concept yachts, C is completely researched and buildable.”&nbsp;C will also showcase Feadship’s next evolution in adaptive technology, with a command centre positioned on the lower deck between her crew area and beach club. This fully digital operation and navigation hub includes the latest in intelligent situational awareness technology, with cameras and data fusion.“This layout and the smaller single-level engine room, supported by the fuel cells, maximises prime owner and guest space, creating more value to an owner within the same gross tonnage,” added <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/29" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Feadship (Company)">Feadship</a>.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/285554/image/large-ee1e4321b5100826f2f5097767414c53.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/285554">Based on her hull shape and fully-electric propulsion system, C is an evolution of the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Article/35229" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="New Feadship future concept Breathe unveiled in Monaco (2010-10-06 00:00:00 +0200)">Breathe</a> concept announced at Monaco Yacht Show 2010 and <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/29" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Feadship (Company)">Feadship</a>’s 83.5-metre superyacht <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/5598" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Savannah83.5m (273'11&quot;)Feadship2015">Savannah</a>, which was launched in 2015.With her inline contra rotating propellers and electric propulsion system, C is predicted to be 30 percent more efficient than a typical 75-metre yacht with dual shafts, propellers and rudders. As a result, the improvements to her underwater profile will mean less wake when cruising, contributing to smoother movement, improved efficiency, and less impact on surrounding waters.Like <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/29" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Feadship (Company)">Feadship</a>’s 118.80-metre <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/8907" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Feadship van Lent 821118.8m (389'9&quot;)Feadship2024">Project 821</a>, C will draw 100 percent of her power needs from fuel cells, which will run directly on methanol and be accompanied by lithium-metal batteries. She will be able to reach a top speed of 17 knots with additional battery power to the DC electrical grid and a cruising speed of 14 knots using her fuel cells.&nbsp;Additional power can be generated passively by two pairs of wave-actuated fins that fold out from the hull aft of the anchors. Estimates are that in a one-metre sea, energy generated by their movement will meet one-third of C’s hotel load.&nbsp;
