AIDAperla Large Cruise Ship ESS Retrofit

Pain Point


AIDA Cruises faced tightening global port emission regulations. During harbour manoeuvring and sailing near coastal communities, traditional diesel auxiliary engines produced noticeable noise and black smoke. As a Carnival Corporation brand, AIDA urgently needed to reduce its carbon footprint to meet EU emission targets and enhance its “Green Cruising” brand reputation.

Solution

Value Delivered

Zero‑emission, noise‑free harbour manoeuvring and berthing – no black smoke, improved port community relations.

Peak shaving and short‑duration pure electric sailing significantly reduce fuel consumption and carbon emissions.

Gained first‑mover brand advantage in “Green Cruising.”
