M/Y Talitha G

For over 75 years, M/Y Talitha G has been the epitome of the classic motor yacht. The 80m design started to unfold in 1927, at Cox & Stevens, the leading yacht designers of their day. Three years later in 1930, she was launced as M/Y Reveler. In 1937, her new owner, the head of Woolworth Department Store, named her M/Y Chalena where her new berth for the next decade was the New York Yacht Club. In 1939 she once again had a new owner, and new name M/Y Carola. Only three short years later the U.S. Navy requisitioned her and renamed her the U.S.S Beumont, where she underwent an extensive refit in Jacksonville, Fla. to become a military gun boat. She was then sent on to Pearl Harbor in June of 1942 with 110 sailors onboard.

After the war in 1947, she went through another refit at the Bath Iron Works in Maine and left the shipyard as M/Y Elpetal, under the ownership of Woolworth. In 1957, she left for Europe to become the property of a Greek shipping tycoon, who for the next twenty-six years, used it to entertain the rich and famous. Re-named M/Y Jezebel in 1983 by yet another owner who restored her to her original lines, she emerged from a massive refit retaining much of her original equipment and glamor.

In 1988, Paul Getty purchased this wonderful yacht when M/Y Jezebel became disabled after a major equipment falure. Rather then repair her, he hired Jon Bannenberg to prepare her for total recreation. In 1993 she emerged from the DML Davonport shipyard in Plymouth, U.K. as M/Y Talitha G.

M/Y Talitha G is regarded at as one of the most successful charter yachts in the world with a very busy twelve month schedule each year. Palladium is proud to have been selected in 2007, to replace the aging monitoring, alarm and control system with our SiMON system. Over 600 sensor points, 3 master control stations, and alarm monitoring stations throughout the crew cabins provide a greater degree of security for the guests and crew onboard.

M/Y Lady Michelle

Palladium Technologies was proud to be a part of the first of many Trinity yachts to be monitored by our Simon system. M/Y Lady Michelle is a 161’ tri-deck hull which has over 300 sensor points which interface to the CAT CCM electronic engine interface and the Power Panels Inc., Northern Lights Generators, Security and Watertight doors, HVAC, Tanks, Bilges, pumps and valves, Fire systems, Hydraulics, Electrical AC/DC system, Air Compressor system.

There are a total of five fully functional monitoring/alarm stations along with alarm/ acknowledgement panels in the following areas; pilothouse, engine control room, crew area, engineers cabin, and switchboard room.

Project Manager, Kevin Greene was quoted as saying, “It’s worked out so well, I wouldn’t be surprised to see it in all future Trinitys.” In fact, as of October 2007 Palladium is under contract to install SiMON on seven of Trinity’s yachts.

M/Y Areti I and M/Y Areti II

These 127’ twin tri-deck motor yachts were built by Burger Boat Company for a Russian industrialist, who plans to cruise one in the Mediterranean, Adriatic and Balkans seas, while the other will cruise the eastern seaboard and in the Caribbean waters. These ABS- and MCA-compliant identical vessels will provide over 600 functions, along with provisions made to interface to Burgers power management PLC of the main switchboard power management system, via Modbus. Alarm systems installed onboard to take under control of monitoring of the propulsion engines and gear boxes, generator sets, HVAC, tank levels, bilge and fire alarm system and all other points that are monitored for pressure, temperature and liquid quantity or level.

The system records and displays in graphic format all main engine and generator trends. There is a designated page of alarm history. Three monitoring stations are being provided in the wheelhouse, the engine room, and a remote alarm display (RAD) for crew mess.

SiMON graphics are configured to support this configuration with up to twelve programmed mimic screens, and will include the rich graphical presentation for which SiMON is known. This includes the real-time and historical trend charts and analysis software.

Access logging will occur at the battery, which is backed up by the Keri system, along with access identification, and deck sensor triggering at SiMON which will be displayed on a deck plan view.

M/Y Ronin

The 192’ Lurssen owned by Oracle Corporation founder/CEO Larry Ellison, underwent a refit the summer of 2007 in San Diego, Calif. Palladium was given the task of redesigning and installing an entire glass bridge. Our design enginers started with creating a 3D rendering of this glass bridge, and then moved onto a full scale mock-up. This was then approved by the captain at the Palladium design facilities. SiMON, our glass bridge designs and our integrated helm and navigation light panels came together to provide a world class bridge for M/Y Ronin. Palladium engineers were called upon to disassemble the old bridge, install the new equipment, as well as testing, and throughout seatrials.
