Energy Ultramarine will be outfitted with four diesel- electric engines of two sizes which can be run in any combination according to combined power and propulsion needs, providing very flexible and efficient fuel consumption. We expect the average daily fuel consumption to be approximately half the consumption of our older chartered vessels of similar size. LED lighting is used throughout Ultramarine , from navigation lights to cabin and bathroom lighting. These lights have a potential energy use savings of up to 50% when compared to standard fluorescent lighting. Lighting controls, both local and central, will provide the opportunity to minimize the level of lighting to what is required for any particular service for additional energy savings.
Ultramarine uses a state-of-the-art energy recovery wheel that collects energy from the exhaust air to reduce the energy demand for maintaining a comfortable environment for guests and staff. Secondary energy recovery is built into the ship to recover heat from the engine exhausts and used to heat hot water service and generate potable water onboard. Individual cabins are outfitted with Fan Coil Units, allowing good local control of the internal temperature. Using the best quality thermal insulation, together with low heat transfer windows, keeps the spaces inside Ultramarine at a more stable temperature. These efforts reduce energy usage in the Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) system and makes Ultramarine a more thermally comfortable environment for guests and staff.
