The ambition in the cruise industry is to go above and beyond – to exceed expectations. This is as true for the guest experience as it is for the industry’s drive to reduce emissions and decarbonise. When the goal is net zero operations, cruise ships need a range of sustainable engines, propulsion solutions, maritime technology, and services.
Wärtsilä offers a comprehensive portfolio to support cruise operators on their decarbonisation journey – for retrofit projects and for future-proof new builds.
Wärtsilä has a five-step approach to ensure you remain competitive, compliant and profitable.
1. Lower carbon fuels
Adoption of LNG, bioLNG or Methanol
2. Electrification
Integration of additional power sources such as battery hybrid and shore power
3. Boosting efficiency
Highest engine efficiency, re-use of waste energy, energy savings devices
4. Digital innovation
Adoption of new digital solutions to improve voyage efficiency
5. Smart services
Optimised fleet decarbonisation services and guaranteed asset performance agreements
Cruise vessels being built today will still be sailing in 30 years or more. Over that time new, more sustainable technologies and fuels will become available so it is essential to build with the future in mind. How to keep up and invest wisely?
