As
informed, Silver Ray is the second ship in Silversea’s new Nova class series.
The ship is fitted with dual-fuel LNG engines complemented with a fuel cell
system with an output of four megawatts.
The fuel cells and a battery system
will supply the ship with enough electricity to power the entire hotel
operation, enabling the cruise vessel to eliminate pollutant emissions while
the ship is in port.
The delivery ceremony took place in
Eemshaven, Netherlands on May 14, 2024. The steel-cutting ceremony for Silver
Ray was held in November 2022, while the keel was laid in March 2023.
