Uh, it’s got 4x Wabtec V16 diesels that are allegedly setup in a way that they burn clean enough to not require typical SCR or urea emissions equipment which saves quite a bit of space plus doesn’t stink like shit.

Those are all bolted to Cummins generator sets; the propulsion itself is all electric but you need a way to produce said (fuckload of) power to spin the prop and run everything else on the ship

It’s going to be vastly more efficient than the current one but I don’t see how they’ll be using electric power to do anything non-standard on it

You know if it'll still have Variable Pitch Propellers?
