"There is a miniature KDS aboard and near the engine room that is able to process sea weed, scraps from dinner, and other waste for an energy supply for the heating and cooling systems while the steam emissions are used for the engine propulsion."

That was always the plan. However ocean-going trials revealed that the best performance of the mini-KDS was when it was used as an anchor (not an uncommon piece of feeedback from customers, I understand).

The good news is that after a successful trial on my fleet of yachts currently in the Caribbean, I may roll out the KDS anchor to some of my other fleets, particularly the one in the Atlantic where a sturdy method of staying in one place is of great value.
