WHERE WE STARTED & WHERE WE ARE NOW
Timeline of YETI Development
Scope of YETI 1.0
By assessing a yacht’s emissions and comparing these within defined classes, YETI 1.0 indicates how efficient a yacht’s onboard systems are based on an average operational profile. The more efficient, the lower the score! Scores, which are expressed in EcoPoints and divided by Gross Tonnage to provide a comparable measure of impact per GT, reveal the best in class to learn from and guide the optimisation of other yachts in the fleet.
Maximum efficiency, minimal emissions
The tool determines the emissions and efficiency of a yacht’s annual operation, expressing the outcome in EcoPoints, which are a quantity of emitted pollutant per kg of analysed fuel and corresponding exhaust gases. To make this assessment, information concerning a vessel’s general parameters, speed-power, load determination, generators, battery bank, and heat distribution systems are required as input data.
Fleet review
The plot indicates the preliminary YETI scores of the assessed fleet for unique Yacht Numbers. The lower the score, the fewer Ecopoints have been collected, meaning the better optimised the yacht is in its operation. To find out where your yacht stands, return a completed input datasheet to us! Once the YETI score has been calculated, you will be able to track your score on our website through a unique number that only you know. Should the YETI calculator be updated, your score will automatically be recalculated.
YETI Webinar Series
This series will guide you through the background, scientific approach, and practical application of YETI.
Whether land-based professional or crew member, this 6-part series offers an in-depth look at YETI’s development and provides the knowledge needed to make concrete, practical changes within your fleet in order to future-proof the yachting sector as a whole.
The second episode – Uncovering YETI Logic: Operational Profile, Propulsion, & Hotel Energy Consumption – will be taking place on Tuesday, 14 May, 2024, providing the foundational knowledge essential for embracing this pivotal tool to benefit your organisation.
The future of YETI: 2.0 & beyond
Many new milestones are being developed & achieved for the future of YETI.
Our board of directors have defined a number of concrete goals for upgrading YETI in their three-year plan. In this upcoming quest to develop YETI 2.0, engineers, captains, shipyards, naval architects, and management companies with expertise and data are encouraged to join the YETI industry group. Participants will meet regularly to provide insights for YETI’s future progress – please contact us here to express your interest.
