Adventure cruise company Hurtigruten Norway today revealed plans for a zero-emissions electric cruise ship with retractable sails covered in solar panels.
It is due to set sail in 2030.
The company currently has a fleet of eight ships, each with a capacity of 500 passengers.
They travel along the Norwegian coast from Oslo to the Arctic Circle.
Although a relatively small firm, CEO Hedda Felin hopes that this innovation “can inspire the entire maritime industry.”
The project, named “Sea Zero,” was initially announced in March 2022.
Since then, Hurtigruten Norway, has been exploring technological solutions that could help to achieve emission-free marine travel. (CNN)
