STADT AS has been granted the Kongsberg Maritime AS contract to provide their awarded No-Loss AC drive system for a 84 metre Superyacht, which will be built by ECHO YACHTs in Australia.
As the electric system integrator, Kongsberg Maritime will incorporate the STADT drive technology into a fully integrated scope, including their K-power switchboards and automation.
The yacht’s tri-hull configuration allowing for a 20m beam, will accommodate a vast deck expanse and palatial interior spaces. The Trimaran superyacht is stylised by Sam Sorgiovanni. Naval architecture by One2Three, and built by Echo Yachts.
Hallvard Slettevoll, CEO at STADT, says that this contract represents a new important market segment for their company.

In 2015 STADT was again awarded for best Electric system at Marine Propulsion conference. Later this year, STADT will celebrate their 30th anniversary as a company known for their innovative solutions in electric ship propulsion.
