Strang\u2019s presentation will cover why LNG was chosen and some of the design features that will be incorporated into the four new cruise ships, which will be the largest ever built based on guest capacity. The vessels will feature a revolutionary \u201cgreen cruising\u201d design as the first-ever cruise ships powered at sea by Liquefied Natural Gas, the world\u2019s cleanest burning fossil fuel. Pioneering a new era in the use of sustainable fuels, the ships will be the first in the cruise industry to use LNG in dual-powered hybrid engines to power the ship both in port and on the open sea. LNG will be stored on-board and used to generate 100% power at sea \u2013 producing another industry-first innovation for Carnival Corporation and its brands.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Other presentations in the session include: <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Cutting ship emissions in ports: <em>Knut Marquart, Head of Shore to Ship Power, Siemens and Thomas Kopel, Energy Management, Siemens <\/em><\/li>\n<li>Hummel Hybrid Barge \u2013 feedback on the first two years\u2019 operations: <em>Max Kommorowski, Director, LNG Hybrid <\/em><\/li>\n<li>EcoShip \u2013 an alternative futuristic approach: <em>Yoshioka Tatsuya, Co-Founder and Director, NGO Peace Boat and Andre\u0301s Molina, Project Manager, Peace Boat Ecoship<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenport.com\/congress\/greenport-cruise\/conference-programme\">The full programme is available here<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenport.com\/congress\/e-commerce\">the early bird rate is available for a very limited time only \u2013 book today to save 20%<\/a>. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Preferential rates are available for participants attending both the GreenPort Cruise Conference and GreenPort Congress and members of supporting associations qualify for special rates.
