When everything revolves around striking lines, extraordinary design and extravagant
solutions, it's trade show time on the Mediterranean. The "who's who" of the yacht scene - shipyards, designers and component manufacturers - meet to see new trends, the most beautiful yachts and the most unusual features. But it's not only the looks that matter, the inner qualities count too. Especially new technologies and sustainable solutions for propulsion are becoming more and
more important.
With its mtu brand, Rolls-Royce is a long-standing partner of many shipyards and yacht
owners. The engines of the Series 2000 and 4000 power yachts around the world. For 25 years, the engines developed especially for marine applications have proven themselves in the field. They are reliable, powerful, efficient and getting cleaner every year. New solutions, such as operation with

The latest generation of the 12-cylinder engine of the Series 2000 M96 with over 2000 hp powers
the new OTAM 70HT. The Italian shipyard OTAM is presenting a custom-made yacht in Cannes that, according to the manufacturer, is inspired by the world of aviation and sports cars. What makes the boat sporty are the numerous air intakes hidden behind shiny black grilles and decorated with LEDs, for example at the level of the radar structure for ventilation of the engine compartment. There, two 12V 2000 M96 mtu engines from Friedrichshafen provide the necessary thrust to make the 22.3-metre-long yacht zoom across the water at a maximum of 50 knots.
