“We set out to envision the boat of the future, unbound by convention yet grounded in feasibility with cutting-edge technology for minimal environmental impact,” designer Fulvio De Simoni said in a statement.

Seawolf X is part of the Italian yard’s newly launched Blue series . Inspired by the way in which phytoplankton harnesses sunlight for energy, the hybrid-electric Blue cruisers use solar panels to capture clean energy and then stores it in advanced batteries to power the engines and hotel load.

Rossinavi says Seawolf X can cruise in full electric mode 100 percent of the time on one-day trips, 90 percent on multi-day jaunts, and 80 percent on transatlantic crossings. In addition, “Hibernation” mode reduces power consumption while the vessel is at anchor and any excess energy generated can be given to a quay or private property. In fact, Seawolf X supplies enough energy to charge up an entire villa, Rossinavi claims. The cat is also equipped with two diesel generators that can quickly recharge batteries. Alternatively, the batteries can be fully recharged with shore power in only five hours.

To top it off, Seawolf X is powered by an artificial intelligence system. Described as “a brain that can learn from observation and predict the needs of guests on board,” Rossinavi AI keeps the environmental impact of the yacht as low as possible by helping the crew to implement more eco-friendly operational changes and monitoring the battery pack to keep it in an ideal range of 20 to 80 percent.

“This yacht showcases remarkable technological innovations in both power management and propulsion technologies, marking the beginning of a new chapter in next-generation vessels,” adds Rossinavi COO Federico Rossi.

Most innovative project, indeed.

Rossinavi have launched 42.75m Sea Cat superyacht SEAWOLF X , designed by Fulvio De Simoni Yacht Design as a hydro-electric catamaran – the shipyard’s most innovative project to date. Originally revealed at the 2022 Monaco Yacht Show she is the first multi-hull project from Rossinavi.

Her eco credentials allow travel in three ‘performance modes’: full-electric mode for day cruises , 90 percent electric on multi-day trips and 80 percent on transatlantic journeys. Additionally, when she is moored, a “hibernation mode” activates which reduces consumption allowing generated energy to be given back to the quay or to a private property. She can recharge at the shore in five hours and supplies enough energy to charge up an entire villa.

There are yet more innovations on board including Rossinavi AI, an artificial intelligence system which analyses the vessels operations, predicts guests’ needs and communicates ‘lower-impact behaviours’ and ‘conscious cruising’ to the crew. The software can also monitor the battery pack to keep it within the optimal energy efficient range of 20 to 80 percent.

Designed to ‘liberate minds from preconceptions’ about catamaran construction, the team have created a low-profile exterior which resembles a sports car and is fitted with solar panels and lightweight solutions.

Outdoor living spans three distinct areas; a convivial cockpit centered around a pool, an expansive sundeck with sunbathing and living spaces, and an innovative bow area featuring a hidden pool and a convertible home theatre. New York-based design firm Meyer Davis have created an interior that “complements the cutting-edge yacht to bring relaxed luxury and sustainable design to its forefront,” the shipyard said. The decor takes inspiration from nature, in particular the sun, the sea and sand. Accommodation is for up to ten guests in four cabins across both hulls.

Luxury yacht SEAWOLF X carries the BluE label, which is the shipyard’s new sustainable philosophy that prioritises environmental impact in designs and is inspired by phytoplankton.

“This yacht showcases remarkable technological innovations in both power management and propulsion technologies, marking the beginning of a new chapter in next-generation vessels,” concluded Federico Rossi.

We look forward to seeing catamaran SEAWOLF X on her maiden voyage soon.

Specialist naval divers called in to search for clues to why Mike Lynch superyacht sank

Investigating magistrate calls in italian navy equivalent of british special boat service to trawl sunken bayesian, article bookmarked.

Italian navy specialist divers are combing the superyacht on which tycoon Mike Lynch and six others died to try to find out why it sank last month off Sicily.

An investigating magistrate has reportedly asked the Italian navy’s secretive Comsubin unit to search for clues as to what happened , so he can check them against statements given by the crew.

Sicilian magistrates are investigating the yacht’s captain, a British yacht engineer and another British crew member over their role in the sinking of the Bayesian in a storm off Sicily last month.

Fifteen people, including Mr Lynch’s wife, survived the sinking, and other vessels nearby stayed afloat.

Mr Lynch died alongside  his 18-year-old daughter, Hannah, the boat’s chef and four others who were on board the British-flagged yacht, celebrating his acquittal after a decade-long legal battle.

About six divers from the Comsubin unit are combing the 180ft superyacht for electronic equipment, including data storage and CCTV footage, according to The Times .

They are also checking whether doors or hatches were left open, a source close to the investigation told the paper.

Sources close to New Zealander James Cutfield, 51, the captain, told the Italian newspaper  Corriere Della Sera  that is living through the darkest days of his life.

A large-scale search operation by Italy’s fire service was carried out over for five days as they retrieved the seven bodies.

Divers faced debris and furniture that blocked the narrow passageways of the sunken yacht.

But the sinking has puzzled maritime experts , who said a vessel such as the Bayesian, built by high-end yacht manufacturer Perini, should have withstood the storm.

The naval diving specialists from Comsubin, which is the Italian navy equivalent of the British Special Boat Service, have now begun work, supported by a navy minesweeper with a decompression chamber to help in deep-dive operations.

The authorities say the vessel’s owner, Revton, which is controlled by Lynch’s widow Angela Bacares, will fund the operation to raise the yacht.

Revton has employed a Genoa-based diving company, Drafinsub, to use sonar and a submersible robot to study the state of the Bayesian to plan how to raise it.

“With the robot we will video the hull to see how the yacht and its mast are positioned on the sea floor, while the sonar we have on a vessel can map the sea floor and check the position of the anchor and chain,” a Drafinsub official told The Times .

Around 18,000 litres of fuel must be syphoned out of the yacht’s tanks to avoid any spillage and make the vessel lighter to lift.

Then buoyancy balloons may be used or ties could be attached to the yacht to hoist it to the surface.

On board the 43m hybrid-electric catamaran with solar panels and AI

If there’s one shipyard cementing itself even further as a leading superyacht builder, it’s Rossinavi, with the recent launches of 59-metre explorer yacht Akula , 49.9-metre No Stress Two and 65.7-metre Alchemy , which took home the prestigious Motor Yacht of the Year at the World Superyacht Awards 2024.

Just when it seemed Rossinavi had reached its pinnacle, the shipyard stunned the global yachting industry by venturing into the catamaran market with the launch of what it calls its “most innovative project” to date. The 42.8-metre hybrid-electric catamaran named Seawolf X , previously known as Sea Cat, features cutting-edge innovations, such as solar panels and AI, a testament to Rossinavi's commitment to the environment through its BluE initiative, which launched in 2022.

BOAT sits down with Rossinavi’s COO, Federico Rossi, to unpack some of the superyacht’s standout features…

“This kind of propulsion philosophy works very well on multihull vessels,” Rossi explains. “Catamarans are very efficient when it comes to navigation as they can reach good speeds with little power. They are also very stable boats, so they rely less on stabilisation systems that use lots of battery power. The wider beam also allows more surface area for the solar panels.”

Nature-inspired design

The exterior of this "futuristic" catamaran is the work of Fulvio De Simoni Yacht Design , boasting a streamlined, low-profile silhouette reminiscent of a sports car. The design includes three distinct exterior living areas: a sociable cockpit centred around a pool, a spacious sundeck with areas for sunbathing and relaxation, and a bow area featuring a hidden pool that transforms into a home theatre.

The designer also incorporated solar panels, optimising surface area for energy recovery as part of the shipyard’s commitment to environmentally friendly features. The hull's efficiency was enhanced through lightweight solutions, including an anchor installation that met weight standards and improved the vessel's aesthetics.

Inside, the design draws inspiration from nature, evoking the sun, sea and sand. "We used natural materials and, when possible, natural colours, to achieve this," says Rossi.

Energy-efficient features

The model operates with three distinct “performance scenarios”. For one-day trips, the catamaran can cruise entirely in full electric mode. On multi-day voyages, she maintains electric mode for 90 per cent of the time. Even on transatlantic journeys, she manages to cruise in electric mode for 80 per cent of the time.

“When the owner is not on board, the vessel goes into ‘hibernation’ mode when only the fundamental systems on board are in use," Rossi notes. The hibernation mode activates when the catamaran is moored, minimising consumption and allowing the excess energy generated to be supplied back to the quay or a private property. Seawolf X produces enough energy to power an entire villa.

Additionally, the catamaran is equipped with two diesel generators capable of quickly recharging the batteries. She also features fast charging, meaning she can fully recharge at shore power within just five hours.

Embracing the power of artificial intelligence

The catamaran features an onboard artificial intelligence system known as Rossinavi AI, designed to enhance comfort and maximise the yacht’s environmental efficiency. The AI constantly monitors the vessel’s operations, acting like a brain that learns from observation and anticipates the needs of guests.

Rossinavi AI maintains continuous communication with the crew, advising them on how to adopt lower-impact behaviours and promoting conscious cruising. “For example, if the chef is cooking in the galley and there is laundry in the washing machine and dryer at the same time, the system picks up a peak in consumption and informs the crew,” Rossi says.

The AI software also monitors the battery pack, ensuring it remains within the optimal range of 20-80 per cent to prolong its lifespan. Additionally, it supervises and interacts with the crew to maintain efficient operations.

Looking ahead, Rossi envisions advancing AI capabilities in future Rossinavi models, with the potential for the system to alert guests when dolphins or other wildlife are nearby, ensuring they don't miss the chance to enjoy such sightings.

Traffickers use Polish-flagged yachts to move drugs across Atlantic

Laura Dubois in Brussels and Raphael Minder in Warsaw

Roula Khalaf, Editor of the FT, selects her favourite stories in this weekly newsletter.

Polish-flagged yachts are being used by criminals to export cocaine and other drugs across the Atlantic from South America to Europe and elsewhere, the UN and maritime authorities have warned.

Drug traffickers are taking advantage of a legal loophole giving Polish vessels “de facto immunity” from arrest in international waters, said Julien Garsany, Brussels representative of the UN Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC).

“When other countries see a vessel flying the Polish flag and [it’s] suspected to be involved in drug trafficking, they basically have no one to authorise them to board it,” said Garsany.

The UN has long been concerned about vessels sailing under flags that are completely unrelated to the ownership of the boat — so-called flags of convenience that can help smugglers avoid scrutiny at sea.

Poland’s has become the latest flag in vogue with criminals, who are exploiting the rush by British and other boat-owners to use the EU country’s cheap registration system for small sailing yachts and other boats up to 24m long, according to maritime law enforcement authorities.

The Maritime Analysis and Operations Centre — Narcotics (MAOC-N), a joint US, UK and European operations centre for narcotics traffic based in Lisbon and focusing mainly on smaller vessels, has registered an increase in Polish-flagged pleasure craft suspected of carrying drugs since 2021.

While MAOC-N was monitoring 12 Polish-flagged vessels potentially linked to trafficking in 2021, that number rose to 31 in 2022 and 47 last year. Boats appear on the organisation’s radar because of intelligence tip-offs, ongoing investigations and suspicious vessel or crew movements.

“If you are a trafficker you will want to . . . sail through with as few obstacles as possible. And a European member state flag is normally not really drawing a lot of attention, especially in the Atlantic,” said Garsany.

Poland set up a new boat registration system in 2020 for vessels up to 24m, financed by the EU. The number of boat registrations has rocketed from about 2,000 initially to almost 77,000 to date, with just over a third of owners giving an address outside the country, according to Polish authorities.

“It’s cheap, it’s superfast and it doesn’t require much information. So obviously the criminals will try to register on that,” said a MAOC-N analyst. “It’s a fantastic business.”

According to MAOC-N and the UNODC, criminals may be exploiting the fact that Poland is not properly implementing international rules that would allow other countries to board Polish-flagged vessels at sea. This means suspected drug smugglers have been able to get away provided they do not enter the enforcing country’s territorial waters.

Two years ago, for example, Portuguese authorities searched a Polish-flagged vessel at sea off the Azores islands, arresting two Dutch nationals and seizing 1.2 tonnes of cocaine.

A Portuguese judge later ruled the operation was unlawful because Poland did not authorise it. Although a court overruled that decision earlier this year, Portuguese media reported the two suspects had in the meantime been freed and left Portugal, thus avoiding prosecution.

The Polish police’s central bureau of investigation, which is supposed to issue permits to board vessels, cannot do so because a recent amendment to drugs legislation is yet to come into force, according to the country’s health ministry, which is in charge of implementing the UN convention against drug trafficking.

Numerous websites offer Polish yacht registrations from prices as low as €395, and some also propose the establishment of a UK or Delaware company as owner of the boat — in effect allowing clients to obscure their identity when registering.

Since the new registration system was implemented, seizures of Polish-flagged boats carrying cocaine and other drugs have increased.

MAOC-N has reported 19 seizures of small Polish vessels, most of them from 2021 onwards. Law enforcers seized more than 18 tonnes of cannabis, 13.5 tonnes of cocaine and 56kg of MDMA (ecstasy) from yachts and motor boats sailing under a Polish flag, including off the coasts of Portugal, Brazil, Cabo Verde and Guinea-Bissau.

“What we started seeing some years ago is a huge movement of cocaine from South America to west Africa . . . because the criminals know it’s easier for us to target [them] if they are going directly to Europe,” said the MAOC-N analyst, adding that vessels coming from west Africa to Europe may be checked less frequently for narcotics than those coming directly from South America.

While Poland’s flag is now particularly popular for small vessels, other flags such as those of the UK and the Netherlands were used in the past, according to MAOC-N. The Netherlands in 2021 changed its rules around boat certificates after revelations they had been used by drug traffickers.

Poland’s infrastructure ministry said it was aware of reports about “incidents of drug smuggling on board [yachts] flying the Polish flag”, but had “no information about the involvement of organised criminal groups in these incidents”.

It also said that “considering the number of watercraft in the register — over 70,000 — this is not large-scale”. The ministry pledged to review the drugs trafficking problem raised by the Financial Times but at this stage was “not aware of any concerns from international law enforcement authorities”.

Poland’s health ministry said Warsaw hoped to facilitate inspections of Polish-flagged boats by the end of the year. “Competent authorities in Poland are working on legislative changes . . . which will allow them [the police] to issue such permits,” the ministry said.

PCG to revise rules for private boats amid Alice Guo ‘yacht escape’

The Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) will revise its pre-departure inspection regulations on private boats amid the claim of dismissed Bamban, Tarlac Mayor Alice Guo that they left the Philippines via three boat transfers and one of the vessels used was a yacht.

PCG Commandant Admiral Ronnie Gil Gavan made the statement at the Senate finance subcommittee's briefing on the proposed P180.89-billion budget of the Department of Transportation (DOTr) and its attached agencies and corporations for 2025.

"In our existing memorandum circular on pre-departure inspection (PDI), vessels which are non-common carriers are not included in the PDI and that is the reason why we are now revising the circular so the Coast Guard will have role in the enforcement in these kind of vessels," Gavan told the Senate panel.

Senate Minority Leader Aquilino "Koko" Pimentel III asked Gavan if the PCG has a role in preventing incidents similar to the case of Guo.

"May role pa dapat ang PCG doon? Na-intercept niyo ba dapat yon?" Pimentel asked.

(Should the PCG have a role there? Should you have intercepted them?)

According to Gavan, the PCG is eyeing to implement the revised PDI guidelines by October.

The revision will "include the non-common carriers in the implementation of pre-departure inspection," the PCG chief said.

Gavan also told Pimentel that the PCG has already a legal basis in revising such guidelines and they do not need a new law to implement this.

With this, Pimentel concluded that the PCG "could've done that even before" Guo's case happened.

"Why do we need an Alice Guo incident before we can anticipate such a scenario and cover it?" the senator asked.

Gavan explained that the regulation was crafted in 2009.

"I'm taking my role now to revise it," Gavan said.

"With this development, the Coast Guard recognizes that we should adapt, we should do more. We'll be coordinating with MARINA (Maritime Industry Authority) to come up with a better regulation to cover this one," he added.

Pimentel acknowledged Gavan's honesty.

"So may nakakita ng butas and I’m sure ‘di lang sila ang gumamit ng butas na 'yan. So ganun pala talaga ka-porous ang ating boundaries, ang ating mga borders, ang ating coasts. So it’s time to, I hope the Philippine Coast Guard will share your realization with the other agencies na ganyan," Pimentel said.

(So somebody has spotted a loophole and I'm sure they're not the only ones who have used that loophole. It just shows how porous our boundaries, borders, and coastlines really are. So it's time to, I hope the Philippine Coast Guard will share this realization with other agencies.)

The senator likewise echoed this reminder to the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP) as he recalled a privilege speech delivered by Senator Grace Poe last February 2023 about the alleged "human smuggling" at Ninoy Aquino International Airport using private aircraft.

"Kasi we were imagining the various ways na nakaalis sila meron akong footage na nakita pinalabas ata ni Senator Grace Poe 'yung nag-private jet. Hinatid sila mismo ng van nila doon sa mismong doorstep ng private jet," Pimentel noted.

"Parang helpless 'yung authorities nung sinara na yung door e (of the private jet). Wala na... We just accept what is written. Siguro kung five names dito, tapos walong tao [ang nandoon] eh hindi natin alam. So that's how porous our boundaries and borders are even by air," he went on.

(It's as if the authorities are helpless when the door of the private jets is closed. There's nothing we can do... We just have to accept what is written. If there are five names listed here, but eight people are actually on board, we wouldn't know. That's how porous our boundaries and borders are, even by air.)

The minority leader told the CAAP and PCG to "shape up" as these incidents may have national security implications.

"Let us shape up kasi delikado po...'yun ang concern natin the national security implication of having such porous borders. Porous na tayo by geography pero ang problema by legal framework anticipated na nga natin yon eh... It's in the execution,"he said.

(Let's get this straight because it's risky... our concern is the national security implications of having such porous borders. Geographically, we're already vulnerable. In our legal framework, we have already anticipated it... It's all about the execution.)

In one of the Senate investigations, Guo claimed that she, along with her supposed siblings--Wesley and Shiela, left the country by sea.

She said that they climbed aboard a yacht docked at a port in Metro Manila and left at around 10 p.m. sometime in July.

After traveling on the yacht, Guo said they shifted to a bigger vessel. She said she doesn't know the exact location where they made the transfer.

Afterwards, Guo said her group stayed in one room for days. She added that she wasn’t aware of the time because they were told not to use their cellphones.

Guo said she and her supposed siblings then boarded a small boat to reach Malaysia.

It took a month before the Philippine government became aware that Guo and her siblings had already left the country in July.

Alice Guo is the subject of multiple complaints, one of which was filed with a Tarlac court, which ordered her arrest in connection to her alleged connections to the Philippine Offshore Gaming Operator (POGO) in Bamban, Tarlac that was raided by a joint task force composed of law enforcement and military agencies for alleged illegal activities.

Among the complaints the dismissed mayor is facing are graft, money laundering, material misrepresentation and human trafficking.

Alice Guo was arrested in Indonesia on September 4 and arrived in the Philippines on September 6. —RF, GMA Integrated News
