Italian shipbuilder Fincantieri has delivered the cruise ship Mein Schiff Flow to cruise line TUI Cruises at its Monfalcone shipyard.
The 160,000 GT vessel is the second of the InTUItion-class ships capable of running on LNG or conventional marine fuels, Fincantieri said in a statement on its website on Monday.
Designed to carry around 4,000 passengers, the ship is intended to improve energy efficiency and reduce emissions.
Mein Schiff Flow can also use lower-emission fuels such as bio-LNG and e-LNG. These fuels are cleaner alternatives to LNG and can be used in LNG dual-fuel ships as drop-in fuels.
It is equipped with shore-power connectivity, Euro 6-compliant catalytic converters, a steam turbine that recovers waste heat, and an advanced waste-treatment system.
Two more dual-fuel ships are on order, with deliveries scheduled for 2031 and 2032.
