Solar fuel pioneer
Tradition and innovation at the highest level
As the very first vessel worldwide, the steamboat Gallia will use solar fuel developed by the company Synhelion. This fuel is compatible with the over 100-year-old steam engine. This milestone achievement makes the Lake Lucerne Navigation Company (SGV AG) the first shipping company to use this new kind of fuel and, as a pioneer, take an important step towards sustainable shipping.

With charm and subtle humour, he takes you on a vivid journey through time – full of visions, fascinating stories and unexpected encounters.
