Becker Marine Systems Eyes Cruise Market in Norway's Fjords and Ports
Becker Marine Systems (Becker Marine) says it is planning to offer its LNG Hybrid Barge technology as low-emission power to cruise ships operating in Norwegian fjords and ports.
Noting that "cruises through the fjords of Norway are enjoying immense popularity," Becker Marine says it is currently working with the LNG Hybrid Barge on a more environmentally-friendly solution to comply with legal requirements in Norway.
"We would like to offer the barge technology, which has successfully been operated at the Port of Hamburg in the last three years, in a larger design for use in cruise ships anchored in fjords and are already in discussions about this with Norwegian port and cruise ship operators,” said Dirk Lehmann, Managing Director of Becker Marine.
As Ship & Bunker has previously reported, Becker Marine's newly developed Compact Battery Rack (COBRA) maritime battery system will be marketed and sold through its Houston office.
