The Norwegian brand has revealed designs for its Sea Zero concept, which it said would be the world’s first zero-emission cruise ship – and the world’s most energy efficient.
New technology will combine 60-megawatt batteries with wind power. The ship’s batteries will be charged at one of the 34 ports called at by Hurtigruten, with charging levels displayed externally.
At sea, three rigs will be extended to harness wind power, combining 1,500 square metres of solar panels and a sail area of 750 metres squared, reaching a maximum height of 50 metres.
