Before the handover in Eemshaven, Netherlands, the Silver Nova proved its seaworthiness throughout technical and nautical sea trials and efficiently accomplished intensive checks. The ship is 243 meters lengthy, 30 meters large and has capability for 728 passengers.
“We are very pleased to once again deliver a ship that will set new standards on the way to climate-neutral cruising. With the propulsion system, a combination of LNG, fuel cell system and batteries, the ship has the best possible measures to reduce emissions,” stated Jan Meyer, managing director of Meyer Werft.
A gas cell system shall be used on board to complement the LNG-fueled engines and can later be capable of provide the complete resort operation, eliminating emissions in port are thus utterly prevented. In addition, a battery system will increase the general effectivity of the ship by absorbing peak masses, thus considerably lowering gas consump-ion. A newly developed Micro Auto Gasification System (MAGS) converts waste on board into thermal power, additional growing the vessel’s effectivity.
Silver Nova accommodates 728 friends in 364 spacious suites throughout 13 classes—probably the most suite classes in Silversea’s historical past—together with a brand new era of premium suites on the ship’s aft.
