Each transmit their power via shaft lines to a five-bladed fixed-pitch skew propeller.Įlectrical installation is designed so that in the event of any single failure of the power generation the ship’s propulsion, auxiliary systems and hotel services remain operational.įor manoeuvrability, the ship is equipped with two bow thrusters, one stern thruster and two spade rudders. Power is provided by four MAN B&W 14V48/60 engines, each developing 14,700kW at 514rev/min and driving ABB synchronous generators.įor propulsion, two ABB reversible synchronous electric motors, each developing 20,000kW at 123/rev/min, are installed. The Superstar Leo is the first diesel-electric cruise ship to have duplex reactors to limit voltage distortion in the electrical network caused by propulsion drive. “The 76,800gt cruise ship was built at Meyer Werft’s Papenberg yard in Germany in September 1998 for $350m.”
