Black & grey water storage, up to 10 days.
Yersin has a remarkable fuel efficiency. At a cruising speed of 11 knots, her electric propulsion gives the ship a consumption rate of 360-litres of fuel per hour, at nine knots, the consumption drops to 180-litres per hour.
Her biological treatment plant recycles all waste-water. Some UV lights eradicate the remaining bacteria, this water can be used to ballast or wash the deck. A waste-water ballast is preferred instead of seawater in order to prevent the spread of invasive species across the ocean. Yersin engines exhaust circulates through Particle filters to prevent 99.8% of the soot from entering the atmosphere.
Yersin uses artificial teak, a greener and hardier alternative to traditional teak wood on deck, an endangered species, traditionally used on yachts decks. A GPS positioning system keeps the yacht in position avoiding to drop an anchor on a fragile marine ecosystem.
Yersin waste water treatment and management system allow us to visits and stay up to 10 days in a pristine area.
