Probably some pretty queasy feeling people on that boat. Wonder what happened to the propulsion.
LOL...I was just thinking the same....blarfingaar!!
“Wonder what happened to the propulsion.”
Ship runs on solar energy?
Modern cruise ships have gotten away from straight shafts and propellers and gone over to Azipods which look like the lower units of outboards; because they are more efficient on fuel. Azipods can be rotated and maneuvered to aid in the ships changes in direction.
About 5 years years ago I was onboard a cruise ship that was getting ready to leave St. Thomas, and we had an Azipod malfunction ,and had to stay at the dock for several more hours until it was rectified. -Tom
The latest update says:The cruise ship Viking Sky has suffered engine failure in windy conditions off the Norwegian west coast. - Tom
