GE GTs for QM2

The gas turbine power element in the combined diesel and gas plant planned for Cunard?s superliner, Queen Mary 2, will be provided by GE. Two aeroderivative LM2500+ units will run in combination with four Wärtsilä 46 diesels to drive four pods, two fixed and two steerable. The order takes to 27 the number of LM2500 and LM2500+ gas turbines operating or scheduled for service on cruise ships, in either combined gas and steam or combined gas and diesel systems.
