FerrySecond in the four-ship series, GNV ORION, has been delivered from the Guangzhou Shipyard International (GSI) shipyard to GNV. GNV ORION, which will serve between Genoa and Palermo from June, is 218-metres long and has a capacity for 1,700 passengers in 433 cabins and 3,080 lanemetres of freight.
GNV ORION is equipped with the necessary facilities for cold ironing and with exhaust gas cleaning systems (EGCS) and selective catalytic reduction (SCR) to meet IMO Tier III requirements.
There are also additional “energy-saving features” on board, such as: heat recycling technologies using turbo-alternator; use of inverters for optimising the electrical load of pumps and fans; use of LED lights throughout the lighting installation; optimisation of the shapes of the hull, bulbous bow, propellers, and rudders, and application of silicone paint on the hull to minimise the fuel consumption required for propulsion.
