Rolls-Royce has supplied two Bergen, C25:33L8P main engines and a Bergen C25:33L6P auxiliary dual generator for Mystic Cruises\u2019 Ice Class vessel.<\/p>\n
M\u00e1rio Ferreira, CEO of Mystic Cruises, said: \u201cFor us it\u2019s essential to have a sustainable, efficient and environmental friendly solution. That is why we opted for the hybrid technology that Rolls-Royce proposed.\u201d<\/p>\n
The engines and generator connect to a low voltage AFE \u2018SAVeCUBE\u2019 power electric system which allows the engines to operate at variable speeds to maximise their efficiency for the required power.<\/p>\n
Rolls-Royce is also providing the automation and control system and a complete Promas propulsion system with two CPP propellers integrated with two flap rudders, plus steering gears and tunnel thrusters.<\/p>\n
Rolls-Royce signed the equipment deal for the 126m long, 19m wide MS World Explorer with WestSea Yard, part of Martifer Group.<\/p>\n
The 9300 GT tonnage vessel will have an operating cruise speed of 16 knots with a strengthened hull and propellers for traversing ice.<\/p>\n
John Roger Nesje, Rolls-Royce, Vice President, Power Electric Systems \u2013 Marine said the combination of its technologies would improve performance and fuel economy as well as emissions.<\/p>\n
Construction of the vessel, designed by Italian Giuseppe Tringali, is already underway at the WestSea Shipyard in northern Portugal with completion expected in October 2018.<\/p>\n
The vessel, which will operate from November to March, is the first of several ships to be built by Portuguese-owned Mystic Cruises for its expeditionary cruise line.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
