The Orca ten Broke is an unconventional inland vessel that serves as a seminar ship and does not use fossil fuels .

description

The CO 2 -neutral barge with approval for 199 people was built near Ostseestaal in Stralsund . The Berlin solar-assisted battery ferries Fährbär were also built here. The ship is divided into three decks, the hull and the superstructure are made of steel. The technical equipment in the engine room and 4 battery rooms as well as the tanks are housed in the lowest deck. In the 2.4 m high intermediate deck there is the seminar room, which stretches across the entire width of the ship and can also be divided into three separate rooms with room dividers. Above is the sun deck with the solar modules.

The 35.55 m long and 8.25 m wide Orca ten Broke is powered by a 110 kW electric motor, which is powered by a battery with a capacity of 200  kWh .

Sustainable operation

The battery is charged by photovoltaic modules with an output of 32 kWp on the roof and a generator. When the weather is favorable, the photovoltaic system can cover the entire energy requirement. The battery system has a capacity of 250 kilowatt hours. The generator is driven by a Deutz engine of the type BF6M1013M, which is approved for paraffinic fuels such as hydrogenated vegetable oils , recycled vegetable oils and waste fats as well as liquid fuels made from natural gas ( GtL ) and biomass (BtL). In the future, so-called e-fuels ( PtL ), i.e. CO 2 -neutral fuels made from excess electricity , will be used. The engine is operated according to the principle of “coupling power and heat” and supplies electricity and heat for hot water and heating. A 1500 liter buffer storage was provided for this. Underfloor heating, good insulation and multi-glazed panes in the windows ensure low heat requirements.

The aim of the energetic concept is to transfer efficient technologies that have already been successfully implemented in low-energy buildings to the seminar ship. The energetic concept was developed by the owner Felix Eisenhardt and implemented together with Ingo Schillinger from the shipyard.

If mooring or anchoring is not possible, lowerable anchor piles can be used to "park". The ship was delivered in November 2017 and transferred to the site in Berlin .
