Smart Heating Aboard The Most Technologically Advanced Cruiseship Built to Date

Silver Nova, the twelfth ship to join Silversea’s fleet and one of the most technologically advanced ships built to-date has recently embarked on its first voyage complete with 70 of Bromic’s Platinum Smart-Heat™ Electric Marine heaters aboard. 

Designed by Analise Bizzotto, Lead of Architectural Design, Newbuilding and Innovation at The Royal Caribbean Group, and installation by Meyer Werft in Papenburg, Germany, Silver Nova has claimed the title of the most environmentally conscious ship with an Energy Efficiency Existing Ship Index (EEXI) rating that is approximately 30-35% better than applicable International Maritime Organization (IMO) requirements – truly a stroke of master class! 

A home away from home for up to 728 guests, Silver Nova’s unique asymmetrical design introduces views of the world like never before, offering a completely immersive destination experience. Bizzotto explains, “the ship has an asymmetrical design that is meant to bring guests closer to their destination within each view [from the ship]”. The revolutionary horizontal design of the ship ensures cohesive public areas which fuse seamlessly together from one space to another. Additionally, the ship’s pioneering architecture offers exceptional experiences including aft suites that offer 270 views and butler services for all suites so you don’t even need to leave the comfort of your room. 

Taking into consideration this unique design and guest experience, Bizzotto worked alongside Bromic’s heating expert Daniel Bruntsch through Bromic’s complimentary Design Service, to design a heat layout that would not distract from the pristine views. “We worked with Daniel to place the heaters near where they would work best and be the most efficient,” states Bizzotto. Bruntsch then drew-up a free 2D heat plan and was able to recommend personalized heating solutions including both recessed and ceiling-suspended mounting options that would provide the most ideal level of comfort for guests aboard the cruise ship, and usability of the outdoor spaces year-round. 

“Historically, heaters on ships have always been unsightly. The simple fact that the design is so simple and sleek meant that they are both aesthetically pleasing, and most people didn’t notice them,” says Bizzotto. “The sleek Bromic design seamlessly blends into the architecture of the ship which was our goal with all technical elements”. 

With 70 of Bromic’s Platinum Smart-Heat™ Electric Marine heaters installed in the main gathering spaces of the ship including the SALT LAB and Shade House dining areas, the Stargazing Deck and Marquee, and Decks 4, 5, 5 Crew, 10A, 10B, and 10C, guests are sure to remain comfortable and warm to take-in every view even if there’s a crisp ocean breeze. 

Composed of a fully sealed heater body, and a premium, tinted ceramic-glass screen, Bromic’s low form factor Platinum Collection heaters spread radiant heat evenly across a large area while minimizing wind interference and unwanted light emissions—so guests can simply enjoy the comfort of the heat without interrupting the magic of the moment. Composed of durable AISI 316 marine grade stainless steel and certified by Lloyds Register, the Platinum Electric Marine heaters are resistant to the corrosive elements of coastal and marine environments, so guests can enjoy them for many years to come.  

 

Platinum Electric Marine Heaters Aboard Iconic Superyacht, M/Y Coral Ocean

M/Y Coral Ocean, one of the largest and most talked-about yachts purchased at the 2019 Monaco Yacht show (MYS2019), was recently refurbished to include Bromic’s Platinum Smart-Heat™ Electric Marine heaters on its main deck and owner’s deck aft. 

Designed by one of the leading yacht designers, Bannenberg & Rowell, and with naval architecture completed by top yacht builder, Lurssen Yachts, M/Y Coral Ocean can firmly claim its status as a luxury maritime vessel that is now elevated with sophisticated, smart, and effective outdoor heating by Bromic 

Captain of M/Y Coral Ocean, Will Kaye, names the main deck aft and owner’s deck aft outdoor areas as the most important area for guests on the yacht. These outdoor areas accommodate a dining capacity of 12 guests, making them an important area for gathering on the vessel. Through Bromic’s complimentary Design Service, owner of the superyacht, Ian Malouf, worked with a heating expert who drew-up a free 2D heat plan and was able to recommend personalized heating solutions that would provide the most ideal level of comfort for guests aboard the superyacht. The difference in guest experience on the yacht with the recently upgraded heaters created for a more enjoyable time spent in these outdoor areas, and the ability to use these outdoor areas year-round.

“The evenness of the heat emission is one of our customers’ favorite features of Bromic’s heating solutions,” says Captain Kaye. He continues, “the distribution and heat pattern allow for a very even heat with less cold spots than other heater types.”  Controlled by a Wireless Dimmer Controller, these heaters seamlessly provide a comfortable and consistent temperature for guests to dine on the deck without being an eyesore like other available heating solutions—so these areas can be enjoyed even on the chilliest evenings. “[Bromic heating solutions] produce a significant amount of heat and allow dining on the exterior deck at a significantly lower temperature than without.”

Platinum Electric Marine Heaters aboard the M/Y Lady Lene Superyacht

Winner of BOAT International’s 2023 Superyacht Design Award for Best Interior and a prestigious Judges Commendation at the 2022 World Superyacht Awards, 34 metre custom Van der Valk Shipyard  explorer yacht M/Y Lady Lene chose Bromic to ensure the owner and guests aboard the vessel were comfortable and could enjoy the aft decks all year round.

With designs from an accomplished team including Diana Yacht Design and Ginton Naval Architects handling the naval architecture, Guido de Groot handling the exteriors, and Carla Guilhem working on the yacht’s interior styling, it was important to find products that suited the overall aesthetic of the vessel.

The focal point of the design of this explorer yacht is the aft entertainment area suited with clean, elegant design, dedicated zones for relaxation and dining, a bar, and swim platform. Bromic’s white Platinum Smart-HeatTM Electric Marine heaters were recessed in the bridge deck aft VIP balcony, and the aft deck entertainment area to blend seamlessly with the stunning interior and exterior features of the yacht and allow for year-round use.

“Bromic’s great design, ease of use, and efficient heat output made it an easy choice when selecting a heating system for our explorer yacht,” says Andre Caixêta, Chief Engineer on board. “Each time the heaters are turned on, the heat is felt immediately at the perfect temperature.

As the only company to offer outdoor heating solutions certified by LR Lloyd’s Register, Bromic’s Platinum Smart-Heat Marine heaters, made of high-quality AISI316 stainless-steel, have been specifically engineered for superior resistance to the corrosive elements of coastal and marine environments.

“We often wash down the decks and deck heads and noticed the heaters have not been affected and continue to work perfectly every time, making them easy to maintain and clean by our crew,” Caixêta continues. “I recommend Bromic Marine heating systems to anyone that is interested. It’s a great product that every yacht should have!”
