Environmental aspects

Pollutant discharges reduced by diesel-electric drive

Reduction of up to 50 percent in the nitric oxide (NOx) in manoeuvring operations thanks to the engines’ optimum, constant operating range Emissions of carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrocarbon (HC) are lower

Lower fuel consumption

thanks to the ship’s optimized shape (combined with new drive technology)

Biological waste water treatment

Separation of waste on board, and environmentally friendly disposal on shore

TBT-free paints
