The founders of Mike Oliver Yacht Design have a passion for Italian style, build quality and performance and a vision for ecofriendly yachting. Their joint experience leaves them highly skilled, experienced and qualified to provide a full lifecycle service from design through architecture, engineering and construction. They're breeding comes through education, passion and experience working with premier yards such as Azimut, San Lorenzo, Overmarine, Rossinavi, Overmarine, and important design offices such as J&J Design. So Mike Oliver Yacht design have industry leading skills working with all shipyard construction materials.
Leaders in construction using all materials and Pioneers of Patented Titanium Construction
The innovation of titanium construction makes them unique however, Mike Oliver Yacht Design have decades of experience working with premier shipyards using all materials depending on requirement and budget.
The benefits of Titanium
Mike Oliver Yacht Design are bringing a game changing construction material to the market with the patented use of titanium in yacht construction. Titanium is a revolutionary development in shipbuilding and here are the benefits it offers:
Titanium as a material is 50-60% lighter than steel with equal strength, so less fuel required.
Titanium has a 3 times higher elasticity coefficient, giving the ship more stability in the water.
Titanium is an excellent thermal insulator which again makes the ship more energy efficient
Titanium is 100% recyclable
Titanium is stable, there is no oxidation, so it can stay in water without needing any paint or antifouling. This results in the first raw metal design worldwide
Titanium is therefore ecogreen from all points of view.
The finish can be shiny or matte as with modern supercars.
Complete exclusivity
Another unique feature is customising the visual and tactile effects that titanium can have. Identity and individual style of your yacht is the future. Mike Oliver Yacht Design can leverage the properties of Titanium to reflect the individual identity you want for your yacht. This can be as subtle or extreme as you like the only limitation is your imagination. Take a look at the examples to the left, just to see how extreme this can be. This is called texting. Demonstration material can be provided on request.
Titanium can also be anodized and theoretically assume different colours based on the voltage to which it is subjected. The effects that can be achieved are just mind-blowing:
Government funded project
As a result of proposing titanium construction through an association chaired by the president of confindustria nautica, the Tuscany Region of Italy delegated by the Italian Government will fund the project for the development of a 6-meter tender, this was awarded as part of Italies efforts to make shipbuilding more environmentally friendly.
