Designs that since 1985 has earned a reputation for superior seakeeping with proven performance in Norway and World-Wide.
"Proven Ocean Space Design"
Mr. Lilloe-Olsen, a graduate from the University of Glasgow in 1977, has spent his career working in Research, Development and Design of maritime constructions with special emphasis on High Speed Commercial Vessels.
Lilloe-Olsen moved to the little village of Hyen in Nordfjord in 1979, and established the first private commercial hydrodynamic test centre in Norway; Teknisk Modell-Senter A.s. The towing tank was 47 metres long, 3 m wide and 2 m deep, and a variety of model tests were carried out during the period from 1979 to 1991. In 1985 Lilloe-Olsen designed 5 of 8 new vessels totally delivered by Brødrene Aa that year, and it represented the start of a long carrier with more than 130 vessels built to date for owners from many countries around the world. The latest Development work has been on emission-free High Speed Catamarans. The result is a unique hull-design capable of carrying heavy battery or hydrogen installations at high speeds. This was presented to the public at a conference in Trondheim on Sep.3, 2019. The work now is continued in the project “Fremtidens Hurtigbåt” and our group has just been awared a contract for phase 2 where testing and final development of the unique concept will be completed. Our group is now working to present the best concept for emmision free high speed all electric passenger catamarans with a new level of comfort, seakeeping and reduced resistance.

“ENVIROCAT” EC_34
The all new Foil Assisted Catamaran for Electric Propulsion
The new catamaran was initially developed under a 2 year development contract with the County of Trøndelag.
Recently a new design contract was awarded as a competition by “Fremtidens Hurtigbåt”, a co-operation between four Counties in Norway.
On December 4. 2022, the report was delivered after phase 2 in the project, and our group has indeed worked hard to create a modern and safe high-speed vessel with zero emission, high comfort and not least; exceptional energy efficiency.
Any new technology that enables zero-emission is adding significant weight to a vessel. Batteries are heavy, and despite the fact that most people think hydrogen is a light solution with high energy, the total added weight is just as high as on our preferred solution using batteries and battery-exchange due to all safety add-ons with hydrogen.
The base for our development-work has been “Less is More”!
The foil assisted catamaran has been developed for minimum use of complex control-systems. Using fixed foils without moving rudders reduces the complexity significantly compared to a full foil-borne vessel where active control is mandatory using fully submerged foils.
The other new aspect of the concept is the battery-change system where the catamaran is docked in a specially designed floating terminal. An autonomous system positions the catamaran and locks it to the terminal. The used batteries onboard are transferred to the charging station, and fresh batteries from the terminal onboard. Battery-life is expended due to the low C-rate charging.
