Electrical/Mechanical System

Controlling noise and vibration on a long-distance passagemaker is extremely important as the crew will be exposed to ambient noise while underway for long periods of time. Aggressive steps are taken to reduce noise, including the installation of special sound deadening materials throughout the engine room and the use of resilient mounts wherever required. Exhaust systems are free-floating, with their hoses and metal piping mechanically isolated from any hull material with specially designed mounting hardware. On a Nordhavn, sailors will appreciate being able to hear the gentle sounds of water passing along the hull.
