Giove Jet: Innovative Passenger Catamaran with Volvo Penta IPS

Share:

Introducing Giove Jet, the cutting-edge passenger catamaran featuring Volvo Penta’s advanced IMO III IPS propulsion system. Alilauro’s decision to adopt this technology underscores a commitment to sustainability by significantly reducing fuel consumption and emissions. With Volvo Penta’s quadruple IPS IMO III propulsion system, emissions have been slashed by an impressive 30% compared to previous configurations, accompanied by a notable reduction in noise levels ranging between 30% and 40%.

The Gulf of Naples proudly welcomes the arrival of Giove Jet, a pioneering vessel in Europe renowned for its exceptional maneuverability, performance, and environmental consciousness. This catamaran prioritizes sustainability without compromising on comfort or efficiency.

The heart of the propulsion system lies in Volvo Penta’s meticulously engineered IPS IMO III package, featuring the inline 6-cylinder D13 engine—a 12.8-liter common-rail diesel with a twin-entry turbo. Coupled with the IPS30 pod and twin counter-rotating propellers, along with the Electronic Vessel Control system, Giove Jet delivers outstanding maneuvering capabilities, extended operational range, and remarkable emission reductions. Notably, this system is adept at handling high back pressure and high-sulfur fuel.

Furthermore, Volvo Penta’s SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) exhaust aftertreatment system is tailor-made for optimal integration, effectively meeting stringent IMO III exhaust emission standards while also acting as a noise suppressor, reducing sound levels by an impressive 35-40 dBA.

Giove Jet represents a harmonious blend of innovation, performance, and environmental responsibility—a true trailblazer in the realm of sustainable marine transportation.
