performance of the vessel is also very ef? cient. Speed and fuel consumption are hardly sacri? ced by the layout.

The diesel generators are supported by a battery pack. The electric system is designed to operate with closed bus-ties.

This makes it safely possible to have less engines running, resulting in reduction of fuel oil consumption and emissions with up to 20% and less maintenance.

The vessel is ? tted with a hybrid power generation system, resulting in low emissions. The vessel can optionally be delivered to operate on green methanol, produced from biological waste streams.
