AIDA CRUISES GOES ELECTRIC

摘要

AIDA Cruises, as part of the Costa Group, has joined forces with marine battery supplier, Corvus Energy, to install lithium-ion battery storage systems on board the AIDA fleet. Following the introduction of low-emission LNG operations in cruise shipping, AIDA Cruises is now turning to the use of electrical energy from battery storage systems on board large cruise ships. ABB and Siemens are also partners on this latest project. Michael Thamm. group chief executive of Costa Group and Carnival Asia, said the company's goal was emissions-neutral ship operation. "The electrification of our ships is another important milestone on this path," he said. "Thanks to the cooperation with Corvus Energy, already in a few months, AIDA Cruises is going to launch this innovative technology on a large cruise ship."
