One Schottel Transverse Thruster type STT 1 CP (440 kW) located at the bow and one Transverse Thruster type STT 2 CP (500 kW) at the stern are expected to offer the highest manoeuvrability.

The Schottel solutions will also generate lower noise and vibration levels for more comfort on the cruise ship.

Two diesel engines delivering 4,260kW will power the propulsion system, which will permit a service speed of around 15 knots.

The 107.6m-long ship, named after a Dutch cartographer, will feature cabins and suites accommodating up to 196 passengers and 70 crew members.

The vessel is expected to be delivered by the end of this year.

In July last year, Schottel won a contract from Seaspan Ferries to supply propulsion equipment for two hybrid roll-on/roll-off (RoRo) vessels.
