HANSE EXPLORER is a certified ice breaker yacht (with an extra thick steel hull) with ice class GL-E3. HANSE EXPLORER is able to explore all around the world, including the polar regions and the Northwest Passage. Safety and comfort rank first on the incredible luxury explorer yacht.
HANSE EXPLORER has a powerful main motor (MAK 8 M 20 1 x 1,360 kW, Single Screw, Controllable Pitch Propeller) with an electric stand-by motor (400 KW) in case of main failure. She can cruise at 11 knots with a max of 13. Her generators produce a total electric power capacity of approx. 1.000 kilowatts.
She has two independently working air conditioning compressors which provide a pleasant room temperature in tropic areas as well as in arctic and Antarctic waters. There is two independent heating systems generating the necessary heat for comfort. Two autarkic fresh water systems (osmosis device/evaporator) provide sufficient fresh water on board.
She also has independent toilet facilities (vacuum/gravity toilet). To protect the environment there is a highly efficient water conditioning system that allows the yacht to cruise even the most sensitive areas of the world.
Highly efficient stabilisers reduce the vessel’s role and ensures that it is also comfortable to stay on board during heavy sea. The bridge equipment complies with those of the modern chemical tank ships the shipping company runs as well. There are two independently working rudder devices (electro-hydraulic/manual) and three radar units: one S-band radar system (harbor-zone, near-shore zone and ice cruise) and two X-band systems, one for deep sea and coastal shipping and the other one for cadets and guests.
HANSE EXPLORER also has latest up to date electronic navigational charts including secondary device in the lounge so that our guests can observe the position of the vessel any time.
