Greenline Yachts is revolutionizing the yachting experience by eliminating traditional generators across its range of vessels, which spans from 39 to 58 feet. The company’s innovative approach incorporates solar panels and lithium batteries as standard features on all models, and advanced systems are designed to replace generators on diesel models. This shift has the potential to reduce emissions by up to 88 percent.The new Responsible Power Pack technology combines a larger battery capacity with high-powered alternators, allowing for significant reductions in carbon emissions without sacrificing comfort or enjoyment onboard. All Greenline models will now provide at least 48 hours of silent battery power while at anchor or docked, enabling owners to enjoy amenities like air conditioning without the noise, vibrations, or emissions typically associated with generators.By replacing generators with high-capacity alternators, which draw power from the engine during operation, Greenline yachts can arrive at their destinations with fully charged lithium battery banks, ready for extended periods of quiet use at anchor. Efficient energy management allows these yachts to harness solar power for essentials like cooking and lighting, extending their operational autonomy for days.This progressive move caters particularly to owners of conventionally diesel-powered Greenline yachts who are interested in adopting a more environmentally responsible approach to yachting. Starting now, these owners can enjoy their yachts without the need for a dedicated generator.Vladimir Zinchenko, owner of Greenline Yachts, emphasized the significance of this change, stating, “For conventional yachts, eliminating the generator is nothing short of revolutionary. There’s hardly a yacht of similar length and luxury capable of achieving this. My mission has always been to promote responsible yachting, and this transition to using high-powered alternators and batteries will dramatically reduce CO2 emissions.”For instance, the Greenline 45, the company’s best-selling model, previously required an 11kW generator to handle hotel loads, consuming 4 litres of fuel per hour and often running continuously for air conditioning. With the new Responsible Power Pack, it only needs nine hours of motoring to completely recharge its 34.2kWh battery system, enabling over 48 hours of emissions-free power.Chief Commercial Officer Luca Raumland noted the striking impact of this system, stating, “The figures are unequivocal. Our Responsible Power Pack can significantly reduce the carbon emissions associated with operating a yacht at anchor. By utilizing the engine’s spare power while underway, we can make non-hybrid models nearly as efficient as their hybrid counterparts. Moreover, with prudent management of air conditioning usage, the solar panels installed on every yacht can fully recharge the batteries during the day, allowing for indefinite emissions-free cruising at anchor.”Greenline Yachts are crafted in Slovenia within the European Union. The shipyard adheres to the highest European quality standards and reduces environmental footprint, prioritizes the use of local materials and expertise. The craftsmanship is rooted in more than 50 years of experience in composite boatbuilding. Credits: Greenline Yachts
