The Basque enterprise has installed two propulsion motors in the vessel and has carried out the sea trials
Alconza adds a new professional success, this time with shipbuilder Benetti, with the installation of two propulsion motors, each of 2,900 Kw at 300RPM, for its latest project: the luxury mega yacht Lana-Benetti 277. Moreover, Alconza has also carried out the sea trials to deliver the vessel this summer in top operating condition.
The 107-metre yacht is the largest built to-date in Italy and it is equipped with every luxury, like a large swimming pool up on the deck, a spa with Turkish bath or a heliport. Nowadays, Benetti is the only private shipbuilder in Italy, and one of the few in the world, with the capability to build yachts larger than 80 metres of length. Indeed, in order to work with the best in the sector, the Italian shipbuilder decided to trust Alconza, a company with renowned prestige, to provide the two motors, connected directly to the propulsion line without needing to use reduction units. With its 3,800 tonnes, the vessel can reach 18.5 knots thanks to its propulsion system, which is a great achievement for a ship of its type.
Due to the most demanding standards delivered in this type of project, the propulsion motors sourced from Alconza meet all required specifications, like low noise emissions, both acoustical as well as structural.
No-one better than the professionals who design and manufacture the motors, to provide as well any maintenance requirements. Therefore, also in this occasion, Alconza’s technical team has been responsible for the sea trials along the coast of Livorno, city where Benetti has its facilities. For that purpose, they have registered all the operating parameters of the motors, including those with full load. Additionally, they have carried out the final adjustments to all monitoring systems associated to the motors.
This task represents a fundamental step in the setup and fine-tuning of any vessel, given this work offers total guarantee to the client of their propulsion system, one of the most critical parts in the operation of the ship.
In any case, Benetti knows that Alconza will respond to any requirement related to its motors in the fastest and most effective possible way, always with expert professionals in the matter. Once more, Alconza has earned the trust and satisfaction of a shipbuilder, this time joining in one of today’s most impressive luxury yachts. This drives them to continue to commit to quality products and services that will earn them this and future accolades.
