Sustainability in the cruise ship industry

MAN commissioned BUTTING to produce components ready for installation for the cruise ship MS Amadea operated by Phoenix Reisen.

MS Amadea appears in the popular German TV series Das Traumschiff (“The Dream Ship”). It is also a pioneer in emission reduction: intelligent product solutions help to sustainably minimise pollutant emissions while maintaining engine performance. The new exhaust system includes selective catalytic reduction functionality. The catalytic converter converts the nitrogen oxides contained in the exhaust gas into water vapour and nitrogen. This process minimises pollutants and ensures efficient ship propulsion.

BUTTING China shipped a prefabricated vessel to Knesebeck. The component for the ship’s new exhaust system was then assembled at the main factory in Knesebeck and individual filter elements were installed.
