  PHINISI Yacht

  As a highly iconic traditional wooden vessel in Indonesia, the PHINISI is world-renowned for its exquisite craftsmanship, unique hull design, and profound cultural heritage. It is suitable for both high-end private cruising and charter services such as specialized tourism and sightseeing. The PHINISI yacht involved in this sea trial measures 48 meters in length, 9 meters in beam, and has a design draft of 3 meters. It offers a more spacious interior, providing customers with a more comfortable leisure experience.

  All five power units on the vessel are Weichai products, with the main propulsion provided by Baudouin 6M33 marine engines and the generator sets selected from Weichai"s silent-series products. To meet the traditional characteristics and modern operational requirements of the PHINISI yacht, Weichai Indonesia teamed up with local partners to form a specialized team. They completed customized R&D and adaptation of the power system, launching an exclusive leisure yacht solution that is more comfortable, reliable, and energy-efficient.

  Indonesia is a traditional market for Weichai marine engines. Weichai has been deeply rooted in the region for over 40 years, with a sales network covering all major Indonesian islands. Competing with top-tier international brands, Weichai holds nearly 60% of the market share for marine auxiliary engines in Indonesia, maintaining its position as the industry leader for many consecutive years.

  During the sea trial, which included tests on speed, maneuvering performance, and emergency start-stop, the Weichai marine power system operated smoothly throughout hours of high-intensity testing. All parameters remained in the optimal range, earning praise from the customer. Weichai also provides full-lifecycle service support, including engine-propeller matching, installation guidance, and operational training, ensuring a worry-free experience for customers.
