About the project
Futuristic design and sustainable power
The AB Initio is both a state-of-the art instruction ship with accommodation for 30 people, and a great example of sustainable ship design. Built with recyclable materials, it has hybrid propulsion, since it partially generates energy using 200 m² of solar panels. The vessel is also future-fuel ready thanks to changeable generators, which can be easily adapted for a fuel cell or hydrogen when required.
