Designed by Vripack, LILY’s sculpted, asymmetric exterior is inspired by the lotus flower and goes far beyond anything seen on the water before. Its split-level layout and energy architecture enhance the onboard experience while minimizing environmental impact.
ADAPTIVE ENERGY ACHRITECTURE
LILY represents an evolution of Oceanco’s and Lateral’s Energy Transition Platform (ETP), developed to ensure yachts can adapt to the evolving demands of the industry while enabling a phased transition to 100% methanol fuel. This approach provides a controlled pathway for adopting new technology, mitigating the risks of early adoption while ensuring the yacht remains future-proof.
LILY offers fuel flexibility in a future-ready design, giving owners confidence in navigating the uncertainties of fuel availability. The yacht is powered by a combination of methanol-reforming fuel cells and dual-fuel methanol/diesel engines, with dedicated tanks for both fuel types. The fuel cells, chosen for their high efficiency, generate enough power to meet the yacht’s hotel load while operating entirely on green methanol. Meanwhile, the high-power-density dual-fuel engines provide propulsion and charge the onboard battery system, capable of running on diesel, HVO or methanol.
“With the ability to seamlessly switch between diesel and methanol, LILY can operate anywhere in the world without concerns over fuel logistics or supply uncertainties,” explains Simon Brealey, chief mechanical engineer at Lateral. “This flexibility also enables reduced emissions when green methanol is available. The yacht’s intelligent tank design and high efficiency allow for a transatlantic range on methanol, HVO or diesel.”
LILY also integrates the ABB Dynafin™, a new propulsion system developed to achieve high propulsive efficiency, directly translating to lower fuel consumption and reduced emissions.
