The report presents an analysis of luxury charter yachts which are a specific class of vessels that, in order to meet the schedules and increased requirements of the owners regarding the luxury of the services offered, have relatively high energy consumption for their gross tonnage, compared to other passenger ships. The study focuses on the analysis of energy efficiency of luxury yachts by calculating the energy efficiency index (EEDI). This involves comparing different parameters that affect the value of the EEDI and can lead to energy savings. The report presents theoretical and experimental studies of the energy costs of a 70-meter luxury yacht for charter trips. With the use of the design data of the ship’s electrical equipment at different operating modes, at different routes, under different conditions, dependences for analysis of the optimal modes of movement are obtained, which leads to the realization of maximum savings of electricity and primary energy.
