Environmental sustainability stands at the forefront of the new ship class design. The vessels will feature streamlined hulls, next-generation power and propulsion systems and energy-efficient operations throughout. They will be equipped with battery systems to support main engines and shore power technology for port visits. The ships can operate on various fuels, including hydrotreated vegetable oil and renewable methanol, while remaining adaptable to future fuel alternatives.
