"Revolutionary Electric Cruise Ships Powered by Solar and Batteries Unveiled"
Norwegian cruise line company Hurtigruten has revealed plans for a zero-emission electric-powered cruise ship, which will feature retractable sails with solar panels to harness energy from the wind and sun while storing it in powerful batteries. The ship will combine 60 MWh battery packs with several industry firsts to harness wind and solar while at sea for a truly zero-emission experience. The company plans to include three retractable, autonomous sails with added solar panels, and the ship will be superpowered by northern Norway’s midnight sun that shines for 24 hours a day.
