AZIPOD PROPULSION SETS COURSE FOR GREENER SEAS

摘要

As the latest addition to Viking Line’s fl eet of environmentally conscious Baltic Sea cruise ferries, Viking Glory will be the operator’s greenest passenger vessel yet - and one of the greenest in the industry. The cruise ferry will also be the fi rst of its kind to deploy Azipod propulsion. Detailed simulations have already shown by how much the inclusion of twin Azipod units and consequent hull optimization can enhance the vessel’s hydrodynamic performance, as well as its manoeuvrability in port.
