Project COSMOS: First superyacht with fuel cell technology launched by Lürssen

By Steph Loseby   9 March 2023

The first yacht to feature fuel cell technology onboard, the  114m (374ft) superyacht Project Cosmos , previously known as Project 13759, has been technically launched from Lürssen’s facility in Rendsburg, Germany. The technology will allow the motor yacht to operate with minimal environmental impact and will reduce its carbon footprint significantly.

At the forefront of innovation, Lürssen has been involved in research projects aimed at using fuel cells on ships since 2009, and since 2012, the development of a modular fuel cell system using methanol has been underway. 

The impressive 114m vessel Project COSMOS has not only been designed to become one of the most luxurious yachts in the world, but it is the first to feature this groundbreaking fuel cell technology onboard. 

Video footage by @redcharlie1 for @luerssenyachts 

This is a milestone in the yachting industry David Seal

At a Lürssen Live show last year, Peter Lürssen explained: "Fuel cells have very little maintenance and are more efficient than a diesel engine, which is already a very efficient way to produce power." He also mentioned that the fuel cell will allow the owner more than 15 nights emission-free at anchor, or the owner will be able to slow cruise his superyacht for more than 1000 miles emission-free. 

How does fuel cell technology work?

Describing the science behind the innovation, Peter Lürssen explained "The core element is a cell which consists of two bipolar plates and one membrane electrode-assembly, in between you build these cells, hundreds of cells are stacked to form a fuel cell stack. Several fuel cell stacks, the FC balance of the plant (compressor, DC/DC, etc.) and the fuel reforming unit, will be combined to a highly integrated fuel cell system. The fuel cell systems, which already meet the specific maritime rules, will be connected with the methanol supply system, the ventilation and electrical infrastructure. Then the magic can start, out comes electrical power and warm, moist air” as by-product."

Superyacht Project COSMOS

Much of the 6,3000 GT yacht’s details have been shrouded in secrecy, including her exterior and interior designers, however, images reveal the vessel appears to have a bold explorer -style profile with the superstructure placed forward to create a large aft deck complete with a swimming pool and a large cut-out, which we can expect to host a large tender.

Crowning her four decks, there appears to be an observation lounge and a helipad on the bridge deck below in true explorer style. 

Project COSMOS has been confirmed as the 5th largest project underway for the German shipyard, with seven additional vessels over 100 meters currently in build at Lürssen, including the 125m (410ft) Project Jag that is due for delivery sometime this year and the 116m (380ft) Project Alibaba, due for delivery in 2024.

It is expected that Project COSMOS will be delivered in 2025.

It is not yet known whether the vessel will become a luxury yacht for charter . If you'd like to charter a yacht of a similar caliber, you can view and compare all Lürssen superyachts for charter  or get in touch with a recommended yacht charter broker  for more information about making a booking.

62m Nobiskrug project Cap d’Ail to be completed at Lürssen

The 62 metre  Nobiskrug  superyacht Project 794 was spotted arriving at the Lürssen shipyard in Bremen after being towed from Nobiskrug's Rendsburg facility on Saturday (January 22). Now known as Project Cap d'Ail, the yacht will complete outfitting at Lürssen after Nobiskrug ran into financial difficulty last year. 

Described as a “performance-driven, high-volume yacht”, Project Cap d'Ail features exterior design by  Espen Øino International  and pairs “expansive exterior deck spaces” with “a generous open-plan layout”. The five-deck superyacht was first glimpsed in June 2020 passing through the Kiel canal.

Other features include a wellness area with a seven-metre glass-walled pool and a large tender garage spacious enough for two tenders, a rescue boat and a plethora of water sports toys. Little else is known about the project and its build has been kept tightly under wraps.

Imperial  acted as the broker for the sale of the superyacht and is acting as owner’s representative and construction supervisor during the build.

The yacht was initially scheduled for completion in spring 2021.

Fall in love with your yacht all over again

Refit and conversion

If you can imagine it, we can make it happen

Allow us to bring out the hidden potential your yacht holds. Whether your vessel is a luxury motor yacht, superyacht or gigayacht, whether she was originally built by Lürssen or another shipyard, we have the expertise and technology to give her a second life. Our refit and conversion specialists will advise you and explore the virtually unlimited possibilities to restore your yacht to her original splendour or expand and enhance her performance, features and appearance. Regardless of which type of work you wish to carry out, you can rely on Lürssen for full support and efficient execution in the finest tradition of German engineering and shipbuilding excellence.

Tell us about your ideas or let us inspire you.

Preserving and enhancing value

Refits and conversions large and small will not only add more comfort and convenience to your beloved yacht, but also safeguard and increase her value. Your project may be as small-scale as creating a new interior look and feel or as extensive as major technological improvements – either way, we will enable you to realise your wishes. At Lürssen, we see refit and conversion measures not as an expression of dissatisfaction with your vessel, but rather as a way of caring for the yacht you cherish. You will be blessed not only with even more yachting pleasure, but also with an opportunity to fall in love with your yacht all over again.

When is it time for a refit?

The age of the yachts we refit and the reasons for carrying out the projects are as varied as the owners and vessels. Generally, refits coincide with remedial work or technological upgrades. Many owners discover unanticipated wishes after several years of yachting, and a refit or conversion is the perfect opportunity to make them come true.

Milestones on the path to the rebirth

A refit project is a fascinating journey that begins with our initial consultations and ends with the rebirth of your yacht. Yet the relationship we develop with you and your vessel continues beyond delivery: Lürssen remains at your side to handle any issues, support you and – years later – talk about the next upgrade. The timeline below lets your explore the milestones.

Contact: you approach us with a yacht in need of attention.

First steps: we talk, visit the yacht and gather your ideas and wishes for the interior and exterior.

The proposal: once we have drawn up a job list, we work the numbers and give you a firm quote.

Proposal review: your representatives (owner’s team) look carefully at our numbers and we fine-tune the offer to suit your needs and wishes.

Confirmation: we finalize the agreement and prepare to go ahead with the project.

The refit: your yacht is in our shipyard and we work our "magic".

Delivery: you take possession of your reborn yacht.

Follow-up: we remain in touch with you and your yacht, take care of any repairs and warranties.

The next project: after several more years of world-class yachting, we start talking about the next refit.

Why trust Lürssen with your refit?

Long-Standing Experience

High technical expertise

Highly organized project management

State-of-the-art facilities

Great locations for the crew

Service orientation is our bedrock

Specialized and dedicated team

A think tank rarely found anywhere else

The know-how and resources that have made Lürssen yachts legendary are your guarantee of excellence in your refit or conversion project. Drawing on more than 1,800 engineers and skilled craftspeople as well as state-of-the-art shipbuilding technology, we will carry out the work on your vessel with the same love of precision and attention to detail that go into the creation of new-built Lürssen yachts.

The right shipyard for any yacht, any size

Lürssen is equipped to handle any size and type of yacht – from smaller and mid-sized vessels to the world’s largest superyachts and gigayachts.

Conveniently located for you and your team: Hamburg, Bremen and Rendsburg

Germany’s northern cities are easy to reach by sea and air. They also offer excellent accommodations, entertainment and cultural activities.

3 refit centres: Hamburg, Bremen & Rendsburg

With dock capacities of up to 351 meters, our Hamburg facility is ideal for complex repair, refit, conversion and servicing of various ship classes. The state-of-the-art shipyard was originally established in 1877, and acquired by Lürssen in 2016. It covers an area of 451,000m 2 and features one of the largest graving docks in northern Europe. Our Bremen facilities, with a total area of 198,700m 2 , are fully equipped for sophisticated conversions, refits and maintenance projects. Located directly on the Kiel Canal, which links the North and Baltic Seas, Lürssen Rendsburg specializes in refits and maintenance of smaller-to-mid-sized yachts.

Welcoming communities

Germany’s largest port, Hamburg has a grand maritime tradition reaching back many centuries. As a seafaring city, Hamburg is open to the world and has a colourful international community. Our Hamburg shipyard, one of the seafront’s dominating features, is in easy walking distance from shops, bars and outstanding restaurants offering local and international cuisine. Bremen, though smaller, is no less steeped in international seafaring tradition. Its history of maritime trade is reflected in the stately Hanseatic buildings surrounding the Market Square. The cosy town of Rendsburg on the river Eider became accessible to larger ships in the late 19th century, when the Kiel Canal was completed.

Even more reasons to refit with Lürssen

Whether your refit takes place at Hamburg or at another one of our eight shipyards, we make sure your team feels right at home. Like the maritime metropolis Hamburg, the cities across northern Germany where our facilities are located are welcoming and open-minded with fascinating cultural and entertainment opportunities.

Captains & Crews

The wellbeing of your refit team, captain and crew is important to us. With local support, entertainment and services, we make sure their stay in northern Germany is enjoyable. That means morale stays high and your project runs smoothly.

Lifetime support

The yachting life is all about luxury travel and entertainment in complete freedom. To ensure that your yacht life is totally free of care and complications, we offer comprehensive lifetime support for your vessel. Our services provide not only peace of mind and pure yachting pleasure, but also make sure your yacht stays as strikingly beautiful as the day she embarked on her maiden voyage.

Considering a refit or conversion?

We look forward to exploring the options with you.
