Thetwo new vessels of AIDA Cruises, the Rostock based unit of Carnival Corp &plc, will be designed to cruise year round from German ports, says MichaelThamm, CEO of the cruise line. “Withthese ships, we will run from Germany around the year for the first time,”Thamm said in an interview on the website of the company.
The125,000 gross ton vessels will be delivered by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries inJapan in 2015 and 2016. They will run on diesel fuel rather than the customaryheavy fuel oil. They will also be fitted with an air bubble system that willreduce friction and fuel consumption to about three litres per passengers per100 kilometres.
