The 141.6-metre Nord was designed with one idea in mind: she must cause strong emotions in every observer, not only through her sheer size but with the design itself. Responsible for her stunning exterior and interior design is the Italian design studio Nuvolari-Lenard, who has given Nord her striking appearance with a bow design never before seen on a yacht.
2021 delivered yacht Nord has implemented an exhaust after-treatment system, which consists of the combination of a silencer with a selective catalytic reduction in the same casing, which can achieve a cleaning rate of up to 97 % of nitrogen and additional reduction of acoustic noise – a Lürssen development.
The Lürssen
The Lürssen family and company are deeply aware of the need to protect not only the world’s oceans and coastlines, but the entire global ecology and climate. In cooperation with our clients, we consistently apply our innovative resources to reduce the environmental impact of our yachts. For example, recent vessels feature a new compact silencer with integrated SCR filter and additional soot filter to lower NOx, soot and noise emissions below current regulatory limits.
In addition, Lürssen is the first yacht-builder to utilize waste engine heat to operate a vessel’s onboard desalination system for drinking water. We continue to invest substantially in research of energy technologies that promise a major step forward in sustainability, such as fuel cells and hybrid-concepts. But our interest in protecting the environment goes beyond the vessels we build: Lürssen is a major contributor to the marine biodiversity conservation organization Blue Marine Foundation.
