Combining both the form and powering source the ORCAGENO superyacht was born as a new style engineering design. Orca (the killer whale) and the sperm whale were the source of inspiration to conceive both the superstructure and hull lines. The sperm whale body form is stream lined and flow around its body has excellent hydrodynamic properties and therefore has been adopted as a hull model for the superyacht ORCAGENO.
The hull is propelled by hydrogen diesel-electric system used for the first time in the marine field offering totally new concept for how beneficial hydrogen fuel can be for superyachts. The superiority of hydrogen fuel is that it contains three times the energy to be found in diesel fuel as well as it has no carbon monoxide or dioxide in the exhaust.
The propulsion system uses a generator driven by hydrogen-diesel internal combustion engine which can be operated by either hydrogen or diesel oil to provide power for the Azipod units, preferable due to low noise, low vibration, excellent harbor maneuvering and passenger comfort. As a result, wide ranges can be obtained for hydrogen and diesel operation modes, at speed of 10 knot, operating on hydrogen mode, it can reach more than 3500 nautical miles and at speed of 18 knot it can reach more than 1800 nautical miles.
The interior design of ORCAGENO is directly related to the elegant and slim form of the hull. It is based on linearity, functionality and detailed planning. The bridge is positioned at the highest level of ORCAGENO to provide wider vision for the captain; also the captain's cabin is positioned next to the bridge giving the captain his own work and leisure area.
The owner's cabin is of stylish and modern design where all the luxury and comfort can be found, with a direct access to an open air lounging area. The dining room area is positioned in the forward part of ORCAGENO with a fabulous view of the swimming pool. Stepping out of the dining room and entering the two levels swimming pool area bounded with a hydraulically operated glass sunroof.
The upper level has a glass window that can be partly/fully opened to give views of the sea and the stylish swimming pool at the same time. The lower level where the swimming pool is situated provides the guests with a leisure space in an area normally reserved mainly for anchoring and mooring equipment. In general ORCAGENO is a genuine design combining sophisticated details with style to achieve a technically and architecturally superior superyacht.
