In terms of performance, the steel and aluminium GALENE has 6000 nautical miles cruising range with standard twin 16V 4680 HP MTU 595 TE 70 engines, in combination with Siemens Hybrid EcoProp System. This lowers carbon foot print and increases the cruising range. The vessel thus becomes environmentally friendly and can be operated without any noise or vibration. On the other hand, by using advantage of fast displacement hull form, GALENE can be also configured with Rolls Royce MT7 Turbine systems attached waterjets, reaching impressive speeds.
