Long Beach, Calif. Its design was developed by Nic de Waal of Teknicraft Design. The vessel accomplishes its missions via a propulsion system using selective catalytic reduction SCR and a diesel particulate filter DPF , coupled to a parallel hybrid battery propulsion system, supplied by ABB Inc. This new demonstration project will highlight the latest technological and commercially available systems in the maritime industry, says AAM. It exceeds the most rigorous emissions guidelines in North America, including the most recent CARB harbor craft rules.
The vessel will feature multiple decks, a customized stadium seating platform on the bow, a passenger capacity, and enhancements that prioritize the passenger experience throughout. All American built and delivered two previous vessels for Harbor Breeze Cruises, Triumphant and La Espada, and says that it is looking forward to continuing the long-standing relationship with the organization.
Studio Sculli is the Italian design house responsible for the unique styling of the next-gen vessel. The engines will drive fixed-pitch propellers via a remote-mounted Reinjtes gearbox provided by Karl Senner Inc. This system will also be fitted with twin kW electric drive motors powered by the ESS which will provide an all-electric, zero emissions modeβone of four unique operational modes providing unparalleled flexibility on the water and at port: diesel-powered propulsion, fully electric, emissions free propulsion, underway battery charging, and stationary battery charging.
These technologies will enable the vessel to exceed stringent California emission standards while maintaining performance and fuel efficiency. This unique propulsion package will be novel for not only Harbor Breeze, but also the maritime industry. Image; AAM. Image: AAM.
