At 137.5 meters long and weighing around 5,000 tons, Project Neptune is a mega-yacht, Interesting Engineering reported on June 26. Such superyachts are not usually the most popular with environmentalists. Their massive size means they consume a lot of fuel and produce large amounts of emissions. However, the new propulsion system will ensure that Project Neptune does not face environmental objections when sailing on the seas.
The exterior of the yacht is made from traditional aluminum. There is an infinity pool at the stern and another for passengers on the upper deck. Interestingly, the yacht is equipped with two helicopter landing pads. The first is located on the top deck, allowing passengers to disembark the yacht even when it is at sea. The second, larger landing pad, located on the foredeck, is presumably reserved for the yacht owner.
Project Neptune has four private balcony cabins on the lower decks and six luxury suites, accommodating a total of 22 passengers. A crew of 50 will operate the ship and attend to the needs of passengers, including a doctor and a nurse. There is also a room on board that can be used as a clinic if needed. In addition, the ship has space for accompanying vehicles such as jet skis, kayaks, scuba diving canoes, kitesurfing, diving equipment, and fishing gear.
In addition to its luxurious design and many amenities, Project Neptune also has the special feature of running on hydrogen, emitting pure water instead of harmful substances to the environment. Marco Ferrari also equipped Project Neptune with glass panels combined with insulation to save energy for air conditioning equipment.
