Power for quiet, comfortable voyages
On a superyacht or cruise ship, every guest space competes with machinery for room, and every decibel of noise or trace of vibration is felt by someone paying for comfort. However, these vessels demand more than propulsion alone. Air conditioning, lighting, entertainment and other hotel loads can account for a significant share of onboard power. Compact, reliable electric propulsion and power electronics that operate with minimal noise and vibration are therefore essential – not just a feature, but a design element that shapes the whole vessel.
The Switch’s electric propulsion and power electronics are engineered for exactly this: quiet, low-vibration operation that frees up space for guest areas, with the redundancy needed for precise dynamic positioning. Supporting energy storage and future energy sources, these solutions also help vessels further reduce fuel consumption and emissions while staying ready for whatever comes next. The result is a smoother, quieter experience, wherever the voyage leads.
From 2032, large cruise ships will need to operate with zero emissions in several Norwegian fjords. The Switch has already supplied vessels ready to meet these future requirements.
