Developed in collaboration with the open-source platform Foundationº (Foundation Zero) – a renewables-focused non-profit organisation – and realised by <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/34" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Vitters Shipyard (Company)">Vitters Shipyard</a>, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/12410" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Project Zero68.85m (225'11&quot;)Vitters Shipyard2026">Zero</a> is a proof-of-concept project designed to demonstrate what is possible in truly emission-free yachting. The yacht’s journey reflects a wider mission: to inspire, share knowledge, and ignite a shift in mindset across the maritime industry.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/365568/image/large-ddd95d9367bf908ff3b5c55c8692405f.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/365568">A shared vision for progress Eduard van Benthem, Project Manager for <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/12410" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Project Zero68.85m (225'11&quot;)Vitters Shipyard2026">Zero</a> and Executive Director at Foundationº, describes the project as a tangible manifestation of the foundation’s mission: “Inspire, create and share knowledge to drive sustainable, innovative solutions.” He explains, “While the foundation focuses on creating and sharing knowledge, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/12410" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Project Zero68.85m (225'11&quot;)Vitters Shipyard2026">Zero</a> serves as a concrete example of how this knowledge can be applied in practice.” The collaboration with <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/34" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Vitters Shipyard (Company)">Vitters</a>, alongside <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/230" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Dykstra Naval Architects (Company)">Dykstra Naval Architects</a> and <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/15" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Vripack (Company)">Vripack</a>, was born out of a shared philosophy rather than a conventional shipyard-client relationship. “From the outset, it was clear that the Zero project could only succeed if all parties were aligned not just technically but also mentally,” says van Benthem. “The project revolves around collaboration based on trust, openness, and a joint ambition to create something truly new.” This approach proved essential given the project’s radical departure from traditional yacht-building frameworks. “Almost everything had to be developed during the process itself,” he adds. “This requires not only technical expertise but also flexibility, creativity, and a willingness to discover together.”<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/34" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Vitters Shipyard (Company)">Vitters</a>’ Project Manager, Gerrit Jongman, echoes this sentiment: “A big challenge was, and still is, the integration of all the new technologies in a superyacht build where space is limited, combined with the fact that also during the build developments are still ongoing which bring up new requirements.” He notes that <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/12410" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Project Zero68.85m (225'11&quot;)Vitters Shipyard2026">Zero</a> has redefined how <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/34" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Vitters Shipyard (Company)">Vitters</a> manages collaboration. “Where normally the yard is used to working from a fixed specification, on this project the end goal regarding technology has always been a moving target,” he says. “This has been very inspiring and has pushed the final product to a higher level.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/365563/image/large-a86ed4f2cc44ee076dc65c02c70a6515.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/365563">Technology and design: rethinking the fundamentals What makes <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/12410" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Project Zero68.85m (225'11&quot;)Vitters Shipyard2026">Zero</a> distinct is its complete re-evaluation of yacht design from an energy-first perspective. “At Project <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/12410" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Project Zero68.85m (225'11&quot;)Vitters Shipyard2026">Zero</a>, the focus is first and foremost on innovation, not optimisation,” says van Benthem. “We do not take energy and energy balance for granted. Once these are fully integrated into the design, completely new insights and solutions emerge.” This philosophy has resulted in a number of groundbreaking approaches, from rethinking insulation and heat management to redesigning the vessel’s entire energy architecture. “Why can a mast not function as a chimney, utilising heat or airflow?” van Benthem poses. “How can we achieve higher insulation with the same weight budget, or higher reliability for the DC electrical network while improving safety?”Inside the yacht, the differences are striking. Jongman explains, “One area where you will really see the difference between a more standard yacht and <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/12410" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Project Zero68.85m (225'11&quot;)Vitters Shipyard2026">Zero</a> is in the engine room. On <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/12410" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Project Zero68.85m (225'11&quot;)Vitters Shipyard2026">Zero</a>, this area is called the main technical room as we don’t have engines – with no exhausts, engines or generators, a completely new layout could be developed.” Instead, this space houses an advanced energy system that “stores, harvests, and converts energy from various sources to various consumers,” he continues. This integrated energy heart connects systems such as photovoltaic-thermal panels, salt batteries for heat storage, and adsorption chillers – all part of a holistic thermal energy balance.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/365569/image/large-67e757447761f5e96ee40225759f2065.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/365569">Collaboration and cultural change Beyond the technology, both van Benthem and Jongman emphasise the importance of mindset. “The main goal is not only to build an innovative vessel but also to trigger a cultural shift within the maritime industry,” says van Benthem. “We want to show that sustainability and innovation can go hand in hand, and that radically new concepts are achievable when people and companies are willing to collaborate.”Jongman adds that this approach has reshaped <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/34" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Vitters Shipyard (Company)">Vitters</a>’ own internal culture: “On <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/12410" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Project Zero68.85m (225'11&quot;)Vitters Shipyard2026">Zero</a> we have people with all kinds of backgrounds and experiences, also from outside the yachting industry, collaborating on one common project. It is inspiring to see specific works from a different perspective and this is definitely something <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/34" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Vitters Shipyard (Company)">Vitters</a> will take away for future projects.”That spirit of openness is at the heart of Foundationº’s work. Through its platform, foundationzero.org, the organisation shares open-source data, design insights, and research findings from <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/12410" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Project Zero68.85m (225'11&quot;)Vitters Shipyard2026">Zero</a> to encourage learning and adaptation across sectors. “We aim to show that openness and transparency are the foundation for real progress,” says van Benthem. “Our IT team works hard behind the scenes to collect, analyse and share data. This allows others to observe and contribute to the conclusions and results we publish.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/365567/image/large-f8e82cf19c8160071e95f17897079b67.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/365567">Looking ahead With commissioning now underway, the project is approaching a pivotal phase. “The next key milestones include the start of commissioning and the phase where we can demonstrate the first proof-of-concept results,” says van Benthem. “Next is, of course, the launch of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/12410" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Project Zero68.85m (225'11&quot;)Vitters Shipyard2026">Zero</a> – a special moment when the project literally comes to life. But we see this launch not as an endpoint but as the beginning. Once <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/12410" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Project Zero68.85m (225'11&quot;)Vitters Shipyard2026">Zero</a> is in the water, the real work starts: inspiring, validating, sharing, and improving.”For both <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/34" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Vitters Shipyard (Company)">Vitters</a> and Foundationº, Zero represents more than just a yacht – it aims to be the beginning of a movement. As van Benthem concludes, “<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/12410" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Project Zero68.85m (225'11&quot;)Vitters Shipyard2026">Zero</a> is meant to serve as a demonstration of what the industry can achieve when people and organisations are willing to challenge traditional assumptions and embrace new ways of designing and collaborating.” Jongman agrees: “This project shows that when parties work with a more open collaboration, where the scopes of the various partners are not completely locked by thick contracts, more can be achieved.”In a sector often defined by refinement and tradition, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/12410" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Project Zero68.85m (225'11&quot;)Vitters Shipyard2026">Zero</a> stands as proof that the future of yachting lies not just in performance and craftsmanship, but in curiosity, collaboration, and the courage to rethink everything.
