Ice: Only the Most Environmental Mega Yacht in the World for Suleiman Kerimov

The mega yacht Ice, owned by Suleiman Kerimov and formerly known as Air, is the most environmental yacht in the world. Suleiman Kerimov, a Russian billionaire, fell in love with the vessel at first sight. In a time when concern for the planet is at an all time high, Ice is a mega yacht with a design to aspire to. In addition to a waste water management system, Ice is the first mega yacht in the world to be fitted with Azipod propulsion technology from ABB. She is part electric. Eight electric generators replace two large main diesel engines typical of a ship her size. The exhaust she does produce passes through a soot removal filter before expulsion, making Ice the cleanest mega yacht on the open seas. According to the press release from her designer Lurssen, Suleiman Kerimov "had to have her".
