These ships are characterized by their original design and the particular attention paid to energy recovery thanks to the use of alternative and cutting-edge sector technologies that are capable of reducing the overall environmental impact. In fact, they are equipped with approximately 1 MW electricity production system that uses waste heat from the diesel engines.
