German manufacturer Torqeedo has installed eco-friendly electric motors onboard the rubber Zodiacs on Hapag-Lloyd Cruises’ two expedition vessels, Hanseatic and Bremen.
Used to take guests to inaccessible areas in some of the world’s most remote regions, the Zodiacs previously operated using diesel engines but they have now been equipped with Deep Blue electric motors. The 80HP motors have been piloted over the past year.
“In Hapag-Lloyd Cruises, we are very happy to have videos porno found a highly respected partner that will take on a pioneering role and implement our technology on the boats it uses for expeditions,” said Christoph Ballin, co-founder and managing director at Torqeedo. “The new motors are considerably quieter than the Zodiacs’ previous 36HP motors.”
Torqeedo’s Deep Blue motors feature a full propulsion system, including a lithium 3gp porno battery and onboard bebe porno computer. Unlike combustion motors, the Deep Blue electric propulsion system does not release emissions or harmful substances into the water, helping to protect the vulnerable waters Hapag-Lloyd’s excursions visit.
“For years the ships of Hapag-Lloyd Cruises have used low-emissions marine diesel in fragile cruising areas, such as the Arctic and Antarctic,” said Karl Pojer, CEO of Hapag-Lloyd Cruises. “Equipping our expedition Zodiacs with electric motors represents another investment in the future of our environment. With their flora and fauna, our cruise destinations are key to the appeal of our itineraries and we want to protect what fascinates us.”
