Technical FAQs 4

Can solar power be used in inland shipping?

For the first time in inland shipping, solar energy can be transferred directly to the vessel’s drivetrain, advancing clean propulsion technology. The Blue Marline is the first inland shipping vessel capable of hybrid sailing with solar power. Wattlab

What is a cellular container ship?

This lead to the evolution of ships of more than double the previous dimensions, with the design made to carry several tiers on deck, high forecastle and a flared bow. Cellular container ships are ships of one of the fastest turnaround period. They are made for the carriage of containers at fixed positions in holds / deck with cell guides.

Is this Solar Ship the future of river travel?
