A dehumidification system for a marine vessel includes a dehumidifier having a supply and return. The dehumidifier is supported in an interior space of the marine vessel, separated from the outside ambient environment. The supply provides dehumidifier to air through dedicated ducting to one or more locations throughout the vessel. The return includes dedicated ducting that draws air from a return grate located away from any doors on the vessel that are open directly to the outside ambient air. For example, the return grill is positioned in a space below deck. The dehumidification system includes a controller that is positioned near the return grate.

Sun heats dark continents more than reflective oceans. Air moves onshore from high pressure to low. Creating wind: powering weather and storms—“hurricane-in-a-box-on-water” principles producing electricity in a marine vessel, providing Green Technology for Marine Transportation. Captured and recovered heat, offset by loss of heat, creates differential pressure conditions across multiple rotary engines. Night and day, a working fluid moves from high pressure to low; powering alternators, batteries, domestics, and in-hull electric drive trains, in a unique, lightweight exoskeleton dome shell design vessel. Disclosed vessel design advantages include: high energy collection and living space to vessel length ratio; high strength to weight ratio; high carrying capacity, downwind sailing while producing electricity; modular fabrication and shipping; and sustained hull speed in a vessel harvesting energy from the environment. The longer the vessel: the more it carries: the greater the hull speed: the faster it goes.
