MS Burgenstock Hybrid Electric Catamaran Lake Lucerne

MS Burgenstock Design

MS Burgenstock Design

The stunning modern design has a bridgedeck clearance of only a few feet, which is acceptable for Swiss lake use (low wave height). The sleek design commands attention and efficiency at the same time. The operation is virtually silent. The large glass windows allow panoramic 360 degree views of the Swiss countryside and Mt. Pilatus which towers 6,982 ft in elevation to the west.

SGV

The vessel belongs to SGV (Lake Lucerne Navigation Company) Schifffahrtsgesellschaft des Vierwaldstättersees AG. The hybrid drive is from Aventics (headquarters in Laatzen) using a WAGO-I/O-SYSTEM 750. The drive can propel the vessel up to 35 km/hr (21.75 mph or 19 knots). The enroute time point to point is about 23 minutes. The diesel kicks in for part of the route outside of the harbor areas. The battery supplied electric drive is used about 50 percent of time enroute.

The propulsion system is a Siship Ecoprop propulsion system from Siemens.
