It can be powered by eFuel (produced with the help of electricity from renewable energy sources, water and CO2 from the air). It also is designed for zero discharge.
The 328-foot, 220-passenger vessel would have a range of up to 14 days.
Its propulsion and maneuvring system are comprised of two stern azimuth electric thruster units in separate compartments and one pump jet for improved maneuvrability in a bow compartment.
The machinery arrangement is a fuel-electric hybrid system with four high speed diesel generator sets combined with energy storage plus a battery storage system providing propulsion power and all remaining electrical load requirements.
