Oceanco and Pininfarina have teamed up to create the superyacht Kairos.
The Kairos project is the result of a collaboration between renowned design studio Pininfarina and superyacht shipyard Oceanco, while Lateral Naval Architects are responsible for technical design and engineering.
The name Kairos comes from one of the ancient Greek words for time. In this case, it is a time that will be filled with opportunities, triumph and potential for the future. The Kairos project received such an ambitious name for a reason. It is focused on providing an unrestricted experience on board. That is why the E-Hybrid propulsion system will be used on board. Solar panels will become the main source of energy for the movement of the boat, as well as for powering the hotel complex.
The Kairos project is also based on Oceanco NXT’s Green Technology and Innovation Initiative. The shipyard is actively promoting sustainable yachting ideas that are likely to be the future of the superyacht industry.
“Kairos is a remarkable creation, created by three dedicated and enthusiastic partners: Pininfarina, Lateral and Oceanco,” comments Marcel Onckenhout, CEO of Oceanco. “When owners see a project from Oceanco NXT, they know they can expect a decent standard of living on board that is consistent with the new vision of sustainability.”
“Our main goal as designers is to create new yacht interior concepts that can add charm to every moment on board,” adds Paolo Pininfarina of the Pininfarina design studio.
