jfrenaye Posted March 28, 2007 #1 Share Posted March 28, 2007 Boy has this time come! Finally a company that is willing to take our earth's resources seriously. Hopefully some of the major lines will follow suit! First Hybrid Powered Cruise Ship Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art886 Posted February 16, 2008 #2 Share Posted February 16, 2008 Are you actually citing ***** as a valid source? I know that the hybrid cruiseship would be a great thing to have some day, but unfortunately, there is no such thing as any "Ibrido" or hybrid cruiseliner. The website ***** is kinda like the weekly world news, only not funny. The author just makes up stories as he sees fit. Check out his "about" page. Hopefully one day we really will see a more fuel-efficient cruiseline industry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mareng Posted October 22, 2009 #5 Share Posted October 22, 2009 All electric drive cruise ships are already hybrid to a degree. When the captain slows the ship down the propeller turns the prolulsulsion motors as generators and the produced power is used to feed back into the hotel load lowering the load on the prime movers , How do I know this. I designed the systems for 14 years! Unfortunately they only slow down when entering port so unlike a car recovering energy as you go down a hill is not an option. Once in port the # of running engine is minimised to meeet the required hotel load only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjonboard Posted June 29, 2010 #6 Share Posted June 29, 2010 Many cruise lines are becoming more environmentally conscious like Carnival and RCI as seen in this article in TravelWorld Magazine: http://issuu.com/jhemsworth/docs/tra...ld.maraprsm/24.
