Marine Propulsion for San Francisco Bay Operations
The Alcatraz City Cruises Hybrid Ferry Fleet has redefi ned the profi le of vessels on San Francisco Bay. As the nation’s fi rst hybrid passenger ferry service, our fleet’s mission is far more important than its appearance.
When the solar panels on top of the vessels absorb sunlight and energy is generated by the wind turbines, power is provided to charge the 12V DC batteries.
Additional power is provided by Baudouin marine generators for more effi cient movement through the water. Each of the hybrid vessels in Alcatraz City Cruises Fleet can operate on propulsion batteries alone for over an hour, providing a silent cruise around San Francisco Bay.
Alcatraz City Cruises, with our hybrid passenger ferry fleet, is leading the way in environmentally-friendly vessels and decreases our carbon footprint daily.
The Alcatraz Clipper is one of the cruise’s passenger tourism vessels that have been powered by a Baudouin 6M26.3 P2 diesel propulsion engine.
Hornblower Cruises and Events trusted Baudouin on this project for the great engine torque in 16L, good warranty and flexible technical solution.
