Yes, huge cargo ships, such as the M/V Auriga Leader, are now getting solar power. This ship, now docked at the Port of Long Beach in California, recently unveiled an impressive array of 328 solar panels that will power its main electrical grid, making it the first ocean liner to be propelled in part by the sun's rays.
For the first time in inland shipping, solar energy can be transferred directly to the vessel's drivetrain, advancing clean propulsion technology. The Blue Marline is the first inland shipping vessel capable of hybrid sailing with solar power.
The hybrid solar setup builds on the earlier success of MS Helios, another HGK vessel equipped with Wattlab solar panels. However, while Helios uses solar only for low-voltage onboard systems, Blue Marlin raises the bar with full propulsion integration, earning it the prestigious Gold Green Award for sustainable vessel design.
It was officially christened during a ceremony that took place in the city of Hamburg in Germany on July 3. The vessel combines a powerful diesel-electric 'Future Fuel Ready' propulsion system, low-water optimization, and SEAFAR technology for remote-controlled navigation.
