PONANT has received Approval in Principle (AiP) from Bureau Veritas for its innovative Swap2Zero twin-screw sailing passenger vessel concept, aiming to revolutionize sustainable maritime travel. The 186.2-meter-long vessel is designed for transoceanic voyages and features a blend of renewable energy sources such as wind, solar, and hydrogen fuel cells. With a focus on energy efficiency and the optimized use of renewable resources, the design aims to be close to zero-emission ready. Key features include wind-assisted propulsion capabilities of up to 50%, one month of operational autonomy, solar panels, fuel cells, renewable hydrogen, and systems for carbon capture, waste heat, and cold recovery. The vessel concept's compliance with international conventions like SOLAS, ILLC, MARPOL, and the IGF Code, as well as Bureau Veritas standards for classification, wind propulsion systems, and hydrogen-fueled ships, showcases its commitment to safety and sustainability. Overall, the Swap2Zero project represents a significant step towards greener maritime operations and sets a new standard for environmentally conscious cruising.
