NAUTILUS

The NAUTILUS project aims at developing, evaluating and validating a highly efficient power generation system fuelled by Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) for long-haul passenger ships. A novel energy technology will be applied on a cruise ship. The system will take care of all heat and power needs of the cruise vessel. The suggested technology will offer lower emissions, higher efficiency, improved dynamic capability, fuel flexibility, modularity and lower maintenance due to fewer moving parts. The to be developed system has potential to cut greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 50% and all other diesel engine exhaust gas emission components almost entirely. The NAUTILUS energy system will make cruising more sustainable and compliant with IMO 2030.
