Super B Powers Hybrid River Cruise A-Rosa Alva

The A-Rosa Alva, a hybrid river cruise ship, was built by Shipyard West Sea in Viana do Castelo, Portugal. Its electrical installation, engineered by Eaton Industries, includes two Super B Nomia lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) battery systems totaling 80 kWh.

The battery system enables electrical parking on both sides of the Douro River, providing 250 kW of power for up to 30 minutes. This innovation enhances energy efficiency and sustainability, reducing the ship’s reliance on fossil fuels.
