Anchor piles
The seminar ship has anchor piles. These are telescopic supports that can be lowered up to six meters in order to anchor the ship to the river bed. So you can park on the water or use sunbathing areas where there are no other options for mooring.
Modern design
We value modern room design: tasteful, warm colors dominate the interior of the ship. A well thought-out lighting concept sets accents by means of direct and indirect lighting.
Ceiling height 2,6 meter
In addition, the interior space in the seminar ship is around half a meter higher than in conventional passenger ships. Nothing is oppressive, no one has to duck their head – the interior height of 2.6 meters, which is common in modern offices, supports the feel-good climate on board.
Good insulation
The seminar ship is like a low-energy house: with a wall thickness of 30 centimeters and triple-glazed panes, it is much better thermally insulated than a conventional ship. Our guests should feel comfortable here not only in summer, but also in icy winter temperatures. Both the environment and the organizer benefit from the low energy consumption.
Underfloor heating
In the wintertime with little sunshine, the engine is primarily used to charge the batteries. But the motor produces a lot of heat, which is fed into the underfloor heating and used to heat the domestic water. If the engine has a break because your guests prefer to stay in one place, there is a buffer tank on board with a volume of 1,500 liters of water. In this way, the energy of the motor is used optimally.
Air condition
The seminar ship has air conditioning – in summer an energy-efficient heat pump extracts the heat from the room and transfers it to the water. In winter, this process is reversed: the heat from the river water is also used to heat the ship.
Rooof terrace
The sun, which charges the batteries, can be enjoyed by your guests in a deck chair on the roof terrace – either on one of the front sunbathing areas or in the shade of the solar modules, which are set up like a sun canopy and protect against wind and weather on cooler days.
Adjustable solar roof
Because the high ceiling was very important to us, we equipped the ship with a hydraulically adjustable solar roof. So we can also pass low bridges.
Solar system
The ship’s solar system produces up to 32 kilowatts, which, when the weather permits, covers the entire energy requirement and charges the battery with a capacity of 250 kilowatt hours.
Solar hybrid
The solar radiation is not always enough to cover the energy demand. On such days, the hybrid electric drive has proven itself: The energy for the almost noiseless and vibration-free motor now comes from a purely vegetable fuel – it is already used and recycled vegetable oil, which is known as hydrogenated vegetable oil – HVO.
Barrier free
The seminar ship itself is barrier-free. The doors are wide enough. The ship has a spacious toilet with handles and an alarm button. – Please note: Access to the ship is not barrier-free. For more information and coordination, please contact us at: +49 30 233 293 0.
Our energy comsumption
We have calculated it: If we were to cover our energy needs with fossil fuels, the annual CO² emissions with a driving profile in the waters of Zone 4 (e.g. Berlin) would be 12 tons of CO² per year. With a driving profile in the waters of Zone 3 (e.g. Rhine) with 400 tons of CO² per year. We save that with our solar system and the use of renewable vegetable raw materials.
