We’ve relied before on the robust and safe systems from EST-Floattech. The team ensures timely delivery and good collaboration, makes them a trusted parter to work with. We know the importance of battery systems for modern inland cruise vessels and think that EST-Floattech is a good fit for different types of projects. The hybrid propulsion ensures that Amadeus Aurea is prepared for current and future environmental requirements on European Waterways.
The battery system is designed to handle and supply peak when the vessel is sailing, thereby reducing the need to start up additional generators. This results in lower fuel consumption, reduced emissions and quieter operation. The battery system enables the Amadeus Aurea to sail into ports and urban areas with minimal exhaust emissions and reduced noise levels, a great advantage, as rural areas more often have more strict emission regulations.
The battery system is also a part of the vessel’s broader energy concept, which includes an advanced hybrid propulsion system, highly efficient engines with exhaust gas after-treatment, and an innovative heat recovery system that reuses the heat produced by the generators.
