THE GREEN WAVE

International Maritime Organization IMO is moving on several fronts to

combat Climate Change. The organisation is e.g. working on Energy Ef-

ficiency Design Index (EEDI) which is supposed to introduce more sus-

tainable planning already from the design phase of new ship.

Furthermore, IMO is slowly bringing along Ship Energy Efficien-

cy Management Plan – for new and existing ships – which incorporates

best practices for the fuel efficient operation of the ship. There are al-

so guidelines for voluntary use of the Ship Energy Efficiency Operation-

al Indicator for new and existing ships, which enables the operators to

measure the ship’s fuel efficiency.

Shipyards are responding to the call. As new ship concepts are

emerging, it is widely acknowledged in the industry that energy efficien-

cy must be already built-in in the process. If one simply tries to add en-

ergy efficient measures on top of a traditional system, the benefits may

be quite minor. In order to affect true change, the green approach must

be a part of the planners’ mindset from day one.

STX Europe has been conducting studies which suggest that the

energy efficiency of the ship concept can be improved by developing

the operating profile and by adopting multi-use facilities. If the time-at-

port were to decrease, the time-at-sea would in turn increase and the

operational speed could be lowered – thus shrinking the need for pro-

pulsion energy.

Mika Heiskanen from STX discovered that if the time-at-sea on a

7-day cruise increases by five hours, one can achieve fuel savings of 4-5%.

However, one can not easily meddle with the time the cruise patrons

have to visit the port cities. STX studies see the answer to lie in the con-

tinuous development of the logistics side – for both the ship and the port.

Meyer Werft is another shipbuilder going green. The latest cruise

ship out of the gate, Celebrity Equinox, boasts e.g. 200 solar panels sit-

uated throughout the ship. In addition, the hull features a special silicon

coating that reduces water resistance.

Information technology solutions are an important part of the puz-

zle. Maritime software monitors the energy efficiency and fuel consump-

tion on the ships and optimises routes and speeds. The Finns have spe-

cial expertise in this field as well: for example 90% of the world’s cruise

and passenger ships utilise loading calculation software from Helsinki-

based Napa.

EUROPEAN ITINERARIES, PASSENGERS AND CRUISE LINES SHAPE THE INDUSTRY

seatec 2/2009 7

Europe is an interesting piece in

the global cruise puzzle in many

regards. More Europeans are crui-

sing than ever before and the Eu-

ropean source market is growing

at a historical rate of 11%. Four

million cruises were purchased by

Europeans in 2007 and 4.3 million

passengers boarded their cruise

ships in the Old Continent.

will comprise as many as seven cruise lin-

er berths.

According to various industry ex-

perts, the Marine Facade is the most am-

bitious cruise facilities project in the world

and is expected to boost the entire Baltic

cruise scene.

Furthermore, the appeal of the re-

gion is enhanced by the easy turnaround

access. Copenhagen is traditionally a

strong turnaround destination, but other

cities – such as Stockholm – are making a

name for themselves in this regard as well.

Turnarounds increased by 19% last year.

THERE SHE GROWS

Bo Larsen, Director of Cruise Baltic, pre-

dicts that the passenger growth will con-

tinue despite the economic gloom. He ex-

pects the passenger volumes to increase

by 4–5 percent in 2009.

“We will see 39 major cruise line op-

erators and 70 different ships in the Bal-

tic,” he says.

S till, the Europeans are nowhere near

the Americans in their cruise enthusi-

asm – only one percent of the Europeans

are cruise-goers where as in the US that

share is three times higher.

Another issue, of course, is that Eu-

ropean destinations are very appealing to

the cruise patrons around the world. The

Baltic Sea, for instance, has become an en-

during success: between 2001–2008 the

number of cruise passengers in the Bal-

tic increased by an average annual rate

of 13.1 percent. In 2008, the number of

cruise passengers to this part of the world

increased by a whopping 25 percent.

The busiest ports in the region are

Copenhagen, St. Petersburg, Tallinn,

Stockholm and Helsinki. There are also

considerable upgrades in the works: Co-

penhagen, for one, is in the process of ac-

quiring more berth space for cruise vessels

and expects to be capable of handling the

largest cruise vessels by 2012.

MARINE FACADE READY TO ROLL

And at the eastern end of the Baltic Sea,

St. Petersburg is assuming a new role with

added significance. The first phase of the

new Marine Facade Passenger Port was

completed in 2008 and this year the port

will handle 112 cruise ships.

The terminal, upon its full comple-

tion in 2011, will be able to handle 12,000

passengers a day – making it more than

1.5 million tourists a year. The new port

It is also noteworthy that when it

comes to capacity, European cruise line

brands have strengthened their represen-

tation at the top. There are three Europe-

an cruise operators (Costa, Aida and MSC)

in the Top 5.

According to Larsen, the Baltic Sea is

the most diverse cruise region in the world.

There is history and culture, modern de sign

and architecture – and this diversity is now

attracting new customer groups: “We are

seeing more people from Southern Europe,

as well as families. There are also young-

er people among the cruise visitors now.”

Speaking of families, Larsen is es-

pecially pleased to see Disney Cruise Line

make its debut on the Baltic waves next

year.

“The introduction of Disney is a great

quality stamp for the region – it means that

we have been successful in pursuing fam-

ily-friendliness.”

Larsen goes on to add that the Eu-

ropean market is simply too big to ignore

at the moment – for some cruise lines,

half of the sourcing consists of Europeans.

VALUE FOR MONEY

The Baltic Sea Region is not the most in-

expensive corner of the world, but it re-

mains a strong favourite of both the oper-

ators and the public. Larsen explains that

the Baltic delivers good value and the ports

and the way of doing business is well-or-

ganised in international comparison.

The Mediterranean Sea, on the oth-

er hand, features ports which need to up-

grade their infrastructure in order to stay in

the game. Drawing from its reputation as

a year-round cruise destination, the Med-

iterranean will be a force to be reckoned

with in the future as well. For example

MSC has been investing in shoreside fa-

cilities in Italian ports such as Naples and

Civitavecchia.

Barcelona remains the destination to

beat in the south: passenger numbers for

2008 exceeded two million, marking an

18% increase.

TUI CRUISES DEBUTING

The European cruise market is deemed so

attractive that new alliances are forged to

explore the field. For instance, TUI Cruises

is a new joint venture of Royal Caribbean

Cruises Ltd and TUI AG.

Recently TUI Cruises arranged a com-

petition seeking a name for its very first

new ship. More than 11,000 people sent

in over 30,000 ideas to the competition

for finding a name for the ship.

The ship was finally christened Mein

Schiff – which translates as My Ship – on

May 15th. ■

Papenburg-based Meyer Werft

GmbH ranks among the world’s

leading shipyards specialised in

the construction of special-purpo-

se vessels, especially cruise ships

and ferries. The recently delivered

cruise vessels “Celebrity Solstice”

and “AIDAluna” are another proof

of Meyer’s excellence and innova-

tiveness. Remarkably enough this

top ranking yard has never seen a

change of ownership during more

than 200 years of history: It conti-

nues to be owned by the Meyer fa-

mily, with Dipl.-Ing. Bernard Meyer

heading the yard as Managing

Partner in sixth generation.

MEYER WERFT:

Driven by Vision – Based on Tradition

Bernard Meyer, naval architect and

Managing Partner of Meyer Werft

in sixth generation.

L ocated at Ems River in Papenburg in

the Federal State of Lower Saxony

(Niedersachsen), Meyer Werft doubtlessly

constitutes one of Germany’s most prom-

inent examples of successful maritime en-

trepreneurship. Established back in 1795

as a wharf for the construction of wooden

ships, the shipyard continued to be driven

by visionary thinking throughout its more

than 200 years of history.

While Papenburg still used to have

about 20 shipyards around 1920, on-

ly Meyer Werft succeeded to survive and

prosper in the long run – not the least due

to its willingness to adapt to new trends

and technical innovations at an early stage.

Already in the early 1870s, far ahead of his

competitors, Josef Lambert Meyer decid-

ed to shift from the construction of tradi-

tional wooden sailing ships to steam-driv-

en vessels with iron hulls. Decades later,

after the end of the Second World War,

Meyer Werft was again among the first

yards to recognise the advantages of se-

rial shipbuilding as well as the market po-

tential of ferries and cruise ships.

A series of ten medium-sized con-

ventional car/passenger-ferries, which

was delivered to various owners in the

early 1970s and internationally attributed

to as the “Papenburg-Sisters”, earned the

yard significant esteem and thus helped

to enter new markets. In 1975 the ship-

yard moved its premises from downtown

Papenburg to an industrial area in the

city’s periphery where a covered build-

ing dock was built. Facilities were later

extended between 1987 and 1990, and

again in 2002 when Meyer Werft made

the biggest investment in its history by

constructing a second building dock and

prefabrication halls featuring latest laser

welding plants.

Only recently, in 2008, the new

building dock was extended with another

120 metres. Thanks to these investments

Meyer is now able to offer ships of all cus-

tomary tonnages, which is to say up to

180,000 GT. The new covered shipbuild-

ing hall (internally called ‘Building Dock

II’) has an overall length of 504 metres, a

beam of 125 metres and a height of 75

metres, with the dock itself measuring

482 x 45 metres. Crane capacity amounts

to 800 tons. The ‘old’ shipbuilding hall,

which is internally called ‘Building Dock I’,

is only slightly smaller with a length of

370 metres, a beam of 102 metres and

a height of 60 metres.

THE SPIRIT OF

A FAMILY-OWNED VENTURE

While its sophisticated technical equip-

ment doubtlessly constitutes an impor-

tant pillar of Meyer Werft’s success, its

committed team and the particular spirit

of a family-owned venture is at least as

important. Its workforce of about 2,500

turns the shipyard into the most impor-

tant regional employer.

Fluctuation of staff is low and the

team’s commitment extremely strong:

Many employees have started their ca-

reer at Meyer Werft as apprentices (of

whom the yard currently trains a total

of 300 in twelve different professions)

and strive to remain team members to-

wards the end of their professional live.

This loyalty, which is stimulated by on-

the-job training programs, in-house ca-

reer planning support as well as good

working conditions, contributes impor-

tantly to Meyer Werft’s experience and

engineering excellence.

Dipl.-Ing. Bernard Meyer, who was

promoted Managing Partner in sixth gen-

eration of the founding family in 1982,

stands as a symbol for the yard’s engi-

neering skills. His passion for vessels start-

ed at a very young age, while shipbuild-

ing engineering was naturally the only

course of studies which came into con-

sideration for him.

This December Bernard Meyer –

who likes to point out in interviews that

doing a particularly good job has always

been a particular incentive for him – will

receive the “Werner von Siemens Ring”,

Germany’s most renowned commenda-

tion awarded to highly achieving natural

researchers and technological designers.

The illustrious rank of previous Ring recip-

ients includes, among others, Carl Bosch,

Wernher von Braun and Artur Fischer.

“We honour Bernard Meyer be-

cause he is an exception among German

engineers, has produced ground-break-

ing technical developments and imple-

mented them entrepreneurially in his

modern shipyard in Papenburg,” com-

ments the Chairman of the Foundation

Board of the Werner von Siemens Ring

Foundation, Prof. Dr. Ernst O. Göbel.

VAST PROGRAM OF

SPECIAL-PURPOSE SHIPS

Over the past decades Meyer Werft has

earned an excellent reputation in con-

structing special-purpose vessels which

require specialised engineering and

manufacturing skills. Long-standing ex-

perience in the construction of passen-

ger vessels has provided the basis for a

successful entry into the market for large

cruise ships. Meyer’s reference list in this

seatec 2/2009 13

segment includes no less than 25 vessels

built for customers all around the globe.

The two most recent references are

“AIDAluna” delivered to AIDA Cruises this

March as well as the “Celebrity Solstice”.

This 122,000 GT post-Panamax cruise ves-

sel delivered to Celebrity Cruises last Oc-

tober constitutes the largest ship built in

Germany in 2008. Carrying up to 2,852

guests, it sets new standards with regard

to energy efficiency, proving Meyer Werft’s

engineering excellent. Energy consump-

tion is similar to that of the 2001-built “Ra-

diance of the Seas”, a ship which is about

30% smaller.

A combination of different approach-

es has helped to achieve this impressive re-

sult, including mainly optimised hydrody-

namics through a new hull form, but also

optimisations to the ship’s lighting, to the

propulsion, to the evaporators producing

potable water etc.

The 69,200 GT “AIDAluna” carrying

up to 2,050 passengers constituted the

third out of six sister ships built for AIDA

Cruises. The series, which boasts excellent

passenger facilities, has helped the opera-

tor to further strengthen its position on the

German source market for ocean cruises.

Although Meyer Werft currently con-

centrates on building cruise ships, the yard

has important references also in order seg-

ments of special-purpose ship building.

14 seatec 2/2009

A felicitous example is the M/V “Pont-

Aven”, a 39,300 GT RoPax vessel de-

livered to Morlaix-based Brittany Ferries

back in 2004. Carrying up to 2,400 pas-

sengers and 650 cars the “Pont-Aven”

is known in ferry industry circles as one

of the best RoPax-vessels built during the

past decade. Operating highly efficiently,

the ship unites superior passenger com-

fort, a high cargo capacity and a skilfully

designed exterior.

In recognition for these achievements

the “Pont-Aven” was even rewarded with

the prestigious ‘ShipPax Award 2005’ for

her ferry concept. In the laudation the ju-

ry commented that the award assigned to

Brittany Ferries and Meyer Werft in recog-

nition for “the overall design and service

approach reflecting a unique sense of so-

phisticated modern European hospitality

architecture throughout the public areas

and accommodations”.

Apart from ferries and cruise ships

Meyer Werft has also built 24 convention-

al passenger ships for the Republic of In-

donesia since 1983. The latest of these

highly specialised ships, which are tailored

seatec 2/2009 15

to domestic island services, was delivered

in June 2008 (“Gunung Dempo”). Last

but not least Meyer has obtained impor-

tant references in the newbuilding mar-

ket for gas tankers. Most recently it de-

livered the 154.95 metres long LPG/LEG

tanker “Gaschem Nordsee” to the ship-

ping company Harpain. The low-tempera-

ture cargo tanks and other components of

this gas tanker with a carrying capacity of

17,000 m3 were sub-supplied by a subsidi-

ary company within the Meyer Group, Ros-

tock-based Neptun Stahlbau GmbH. Nep-

tun itself has also earned a leading position

in the construction of river cruise ships.

Meyer Werft’s particular position-

ing helps to weather the current global

economic crisis. Contrary to other yards,

which are affected by numerous cancella-

tions particularly in the container ship mar-

ket, the Papenburg-based venture sees its

order book filled with orders keeping the

workforce busy well into 2012. Current

orders comprise nine cruise ships with an

accumulated value of 4.2 billion Euros, in-

cluding another three club cruise ships for

AIDA Cruises, four 122,000 GT post-Pan-

amax cruise ships for Celebrity Cruises and

two even larger 124,000 GT ships for Dis-

ney Cruise Line.

Such prestigious ships are not only a

source of value creation for the Emsland

region which surrounds Papenburg, but al-

so a source of tourism – the yard has long

turned into one of the region’s main tour-

ist attractions, receiving thousands of visi-

tors year after year. ■

Celebrity Equinox sailed off on her maiden voyage from Southampton,

England, on 31 July. The new beauty on the waves is easy on the eyes –

featuring a distinctive shape, livery and two funnels – but she’s got

a remarkable green streak, too.

Here Comes the SunCELEBRITY EQUINOX FEATURES GREEN GRASS – AND IDEOLOGY

seatec 2/2009 19

T ooted by some as “the most envi-

ronmentally friendly cruise ship in

the world”, the vessel is the second Sol-

stice class vessel to enter service. Celebrity

Equinox was built in Germany for Celebri-

ty Cruises which has been at the forefront

of marine conservation for two decades

now with its Save the Waves campaign.

As a consequence, the luxury cruise

ship leaves only a green wake on the

oceans of the world. In fact, Celebrity

Equinox bristles with equipment designed

to cut back on her environmental foot-

print. There are more than 200 solar pan-

els situated throughout the ship provid-

ing enough power to operate more than

7,000 LED lights, which in turn boost the

ship’s electricity grid.

In order to trim down fuel consump-

tion, a special silicon coating has been ap-

plied to the entire underwater hull area

to reduce resistance as the ship moves

through the water. The non-toxic coating

also inhibits marine growth such as barna-

cles and algae and reduces the likelihood

of invasive species being transferred from

one habitat to other ecosystems.

There is also an “interceptor” of sorts

to help the vessel along her passage. This

structural innovation wraps around the

ship’s stern, effectively lifting the back

slightly to cut the vessel’s drag through

the water.

erft

CLASS WITH GLASS

Furthermore, special attention has been

given to windows and other glass struc-

tures onboard. Glass on Celebrity Equinox

is specifically manufactured to reduce heat

transfer from outside into cabins and pub-

lic rooms, which in turn cuts the amount

of air conditioning. The hi-tech glazing al-

lows natural light to enter the ship, but fil-

ters out 99.9 per cent of UV rays, protect-

ing the vessel’s interiors and furnishings.

Want more? Well, advanced purifica-

tion systems treat all waste water onboard

and restore it to virtually drinking quality

before discharge. Increasing levels of water

consumption have been acknowledged as

a problem and therefore even the smallest

measures have been adopted to save wa-

ter. This means using river rocks instead of

ice beds in buffets, shower heads that use

less water and reduced-flow dishwashers

and low-consumption machines in the gal-

ley and laundry.

20 seatec 2/2009

Beyond the green mindset, there are

plenty of other things to marvel at, too.

Celebrity Equinox has an overall length of

315 m, width of 36.8 m and gross tonnage

of 122,000. The ship accommodates 2,850

passengers in 1,425 cabins. All standard

cabins are more spacious than what is the

industry average. More than 90 % are out-

side cabins, 90% of which have their own

balconies. The ship is equipped with die-

sel engines and pod propulsion systems;

the overall engine output is 67,200 kWh.

With a price tag of over EUR 800 mil-

lion, Celebrity Equinox is aimed at experi-

enced cruisers who want to try a new ex-

perience. Highlights include a real grass

lawn on which guests can play games or

simply relax; there is also a glass-blowing

museum and a flashy demonstration area

onboard.

SOLAR CHRONOLOGY

Before the vessel could embark on her

maiden voyage, the ship had already come

a long way. Meyer Werft launched the pro-

duction of the first steel plate for Celebri-

ty Equinox in September 2007 in Papen-

burg, Germany. In August 2008 the first

block out of a total of 72 was put in place

in the yard’s covered building dock II and

the construction of the giant puzzle be-

gan in earnest. Pieces locked into place

with appropriate haste and finally in May

2009 the time arrived for tests and engine

trials for Equinox.

On June 6, 2008, the ship finally left

building dock II and moved on to the har-

bour for berthing. During the next year or

so the remaining work was completed, as

e.g. the ship’s two funnels and the mast

were mounted.

The next phase included the passage

along the river Ems to the sea trials port in

Eemshaven, Netherlands, at the end of Ju-

ly 2009.Tens of thousands of people ob-

served the majestic passage along the riv-

erbanks.

COOL HAND CAPTAIN

The river journey itself was a sort of a thrill-

er: at its tightest point along the course,

there were as few as 13 feet between each

side of the ship and the riverbank. How-

ever, Celebrity Equinox made the over-26-

mile transit – known as the “conveyance”

– with flying colours. Moving backwards,

the ship navigated the passing of a rail-

way bridge in Weener, a highway bridge

in Leer, and a narrow passage in Gander-

sum. Ironically, then, the ship performed

the most complicated ride it is likely to ever

encounter long before the maiden voyage.

Due to the size and scale of the ship,

the transit could take place only during ab-

solutely ideal weather conditions: when

the river is at high tide, when winds are

extremely calm, and when tidal barriers are

closed, in order to ensure there is enough

water to accommodate the draft of the

ship.

Celebrity Equinox’s Captain Aposto-

los Bouzakis was unfazed by the challenge,

remarking that he was glad for the oppor-

tunity to test the maneuverability of the

ship at reduced speeds.

“It is a bit like taking a brand-new

sportscar down winding country lanes: It’s

exhilarating, but not without its share of

trepidation,” Bouzakis commented.

Together with sister ship Celebri-

ty Solstice, the two cruise vessels are the

largest ships ever to have sailed on the

River Ems.

In Eemshaven, a flurry of provisioning

and loading activities took place, followed

by sea trials. Finally, on 16 July Celebrity

Equinox was officially delivered from Mey-

er Werft to Celebrity Cruises. After chang-

ing hands, the ship sailed on to Southamp-

ton for a complete a series of inspections.

THE BIG BREAK UP

Then, of course, it was time to party: eight

days of launch celebrations ensued in or-

der to give the ship a memorable send-

off. Nina Barough, founder of breast can-

cer charity Walk the Walk, christened the

ship by cutting a pink ribbon that triggered

the traditional breaking of a champagne

bottle. The upbeat black tie event, which

kicked off with buglers and a bagpipe and

drum corps performance, also included a

piano rendition of the Beatles’ Here Comes

the Sun.

During the festivities, Celebrity Cruis-

es President & CEO Dan Hanrahan praised

Meyer Werft for delivering Equinox only

eight months after Celebrity Solstice.

After the 8-day maiden voyage to

the Norwegian fjords, the ship started

a 10-night “Best of Europe” itinerary to

Rome, calling on ports in France, Spain,

Portugal and Italy, as well as Gibraltar in

August.

Until October, the ship will be busy

running a series of 13 and 14-night “An-

cient Empires” cruises. On 5 November

the ship will make the transatlantic voy-

age to Fort Lauderdale, Florida, where she

will begin a series of alternating 10- and

11-night “Ultimate Caribbean” voyages

until April 2010. ■

Yacht operators and officers: PREPARE FOR THE WORST!

O nboard-NAPA software is designed to meet the specific needs

of yacht operators and officers. It brings out the full poten-

tial of the NAPA 3D ship model. Together with the loading capa-

bilities, the software is a decision support system that can predict

a safe future. The accurate 3D ship model and flooding simula-

tion engine enable time domain simulations for a flooding sce-

nario. Are you interested to know how your vessel would survive

an accident, or how much time you would have for evacuation?

Onboard-NAPA provides a good overview of the yacht’s sta-

bility at any given time. Risks can be detected and pre-empted

already before departure. Loading conditions are easy to define,

and different damage scenarios can be investigated. Officers can

efficiently prepare how to handle potential emergency situations

influencing the yacht’s stability and floating positions.

NAPA software is used by major classification societies for

approval processes and emergency response services. With an of-

fice version, the support can also be given by designated person(s)

ashore. Onboard-NAPA enables fast and compatible loading con-

dition transfers from yacht to shore. ■

ICE TRIALS OF ILS DESIGNED ICE BREAKER TOBOY

T he ice trials of the ILS designed ice breaker Toboy – which was

delivered at the end of 2008 to Lukoil from the Singaporean

shipyard Keppel Singmarine – were carried out in Kara sea in mid-

sommer 2009. The trials were managed by ILS, propulsion power

measurements were carried out by VTT, the ice data and meas-

urements by AARI. The owners and Russian Maritime Register of

Shipping were supervising the tests. Experts from Keppel Singma-

rine, Keppel Norway, Wärtsilä and Steerprop were also onboard.

The tests were carried out in accordance with a test pro-

gramme including level ice performance tests in various ice thick-

nesses (a 1.4m thick level ice field was found) ahead an astern,

turning, ridge penetration, breaking out of channel ahead and

astern, turning in spot and channel widening tests. Toboy cleared

well the tests and all participants could confirm that the vessel

fulfilled the requirements with good margin.

The other vessel, ice breaker Varandey will be tested lat-

er this year. ■

MoonstruckAIDALUNA DEBUTS ON THE BALTIC SEA

Photos: Meyer W

erft

Take it from Dean Martin: “When the moon hits your eye like a

big pizza pie, that’s amore.” As the cruise ship AIDAluna has been

making the rounds all over the Baltic Sea, the “heavenly” ship

has certainly made an impact.

seatec 2/2009 29

A IDAluna took to the waters on 5 April

from the Port of Palma de Majorca

and headed to Hamburg. The journey con-

tinued to a first call in Kiel on 22 April, and

onward to Rostock-Warnemünde where

AIDAluna moored for the first time on 8

May.

Presently, she is busy making all-to-

gether 10 roundtrips in the Baltic Sea. The

ship will conduct 10-day cruises visiting

Tallinn, St. Petersburg, Helsinki, Stock-

holm, Gdansk and Mukran as well as

shorter trips with stops at Copenhagen

and Oslo.

In September, AIDAluna will head for

the Canary Islands.

AIDAluna is only the most recent ex-

ample of the continuous cooperation be-

tween shipyard Meyer Werft and AIDA

Cruises. As Meyer Werft delivered the

69,200-gt cruise ship to the owner in the

German port of Emden in March, this oc-

casion marked the third time the German

shipmakers had made such a delivery.

In fact, the AIDAluna is the third ship

out of a series of six the Papenburg ship-

yard is building for AIDA Cruises. The Mey-

er shipyard is to deliver the rest of the fleet

in 2010, 2011 and 2012, respectively.

FLY ME TO THE MOON

The christening of AIDAluna in April turned

out to be quite the spectacle, with Palma

de Majorca providing the perfect venue

for a lively party. International top model

Franziska Knuppe did the honours, smash-

ing the champagne bottle across the bow.

After the ceremony, Knuppe handed over

the bottle neck to Lutz Leitzsch, captain

of AIDAluna. According to tradition, the

neck will be framed and placed onto the

bridge as a lucky charm.

About 2,100 guests celebrated on

board the new ship under – naturally! –

the shining moon, marking the first time

the naming ceremony took place on board

an AIDA ship. The christening was topped

off by gigantic fireworks that illuminated

the night sky.

Also Internet users got in on the ac-

tion: the christening was broadcasted live

via satellite and twitter – another “first ev-

er”.

And what is it exactly that makes

AIDAluna so appealing? Well, to start

with, on this ship luxury interiors are com-

AIDAluna LED-display.

bined with state-of-the-art technical out-

fitting. Highlight of the AIDAluna is the

open-air cinema, which is installed on an

AIDA cruise ship for the first time: The LED

display contains more than 186,000 LED-

lamps and is 7.17 meters wide and 4.03

meters high.

UNDER THE HOOD

Both safety and entertainment meet the

latest technical standards ensured by the

diesel-electric propulsion system, interac-

tive communication systems and sophisti-

cated stage technology.

Four diesel generators, each having

an output of 9,000 kW, ensure power gen-

eration on board. The diesel engines can

be operated with both diesel oil and heavy-

fuel oil. What is new about the engines is

especially the reduced rate of pollution and

decreased consumption.

Control and monitoring of all techni-

cal plants and systems are integrated in the

ship’s automation system. Its structure is

redundant and de-centralised, and plenty

of work stations are provided where tech-

nical data can be retrieved or functions can

be implemented.

Furthermore, AIDAluna is operated

by means of an integrated navigation and

command system (NACOS 65-5 by SAM

Electronics).

FLOATING WONDERS

In total, the ship has 1025 cabins, 666 of

which are on the outside and 359 interior

seatec 2/2009 33

cabins. Some 65 percent of the cabins are

outside cabins, while most of them have

their own balconies. Apart from various

cabin categories, there are also 18 suites.

These are provided in the forward and aft

part of the ship on decks 6–9.

The ship has seven restaurants spe-

cialising in different cuisines, and 11 bars

that serve drinks, champagne and fine

wine. There is also a biking track found

on deck 11. There is also a library, money

exchange centre, conference centre and a

casino onboard.

The new ship also contains a great

deal of Oriental appeal and mystique. For

the first time ever, there is a wellness area

onboard with Indian design: the interior

is characterised by strong, sensuous col-

ours, classic sculptures and gleaming fab-

rics. Wooden façades with highly detailed

finishing are reminiscent of Indian palac-

es and temples.

Furthermore, the fitness and wellness

programmes are designed to blend with

the theme of India: Indian yoga masters of-

fer courses in yoga and meditation, while

Ayurveda therapists pamper the guests

with body massages.

NAMASTE!

This floating fitness and wellness centre is

not exactly small either: there are 2,300

square metres of space here, offering just

about everything to indulge the body and

soul. As soon as the guests enter the Body

& Soul Spa, they are immersed in a differ-

ent world: inspired by the sunrise, radiant

colours – such as sunshine yellow and or-

ange and – dominate the scene.

A passageway with Indian arches

leads the guests to the treatment cabins

on the AIDAluna. Each of the 14 cabins

is immersed in a different radiant colour,

progressing in a glorious play of colours to

convey a feeling of the setting sun.

The central point of the spa area is,

of course, the Wellness Oasis. Laid out like

an Indian jungle, it offers pure relaxation

with a giant Jacuzzi as well as the “ulti-

mate shower experience”. ■

Nor-Shipping 2009 enjoyed a re-

cord numbers of visitors and exhi-

bitor representatives. During 9–12

June, a total of 15,599 visitors ca-

me to the exhibition venue during

the exhibition, along with a total

of 17,780 exhibitor representatives.

I n comparison to 2007, there was a 15

percent increase in the number of Nor-

Shipping delegates. Nor-Shipping 2009

featured 22 national pavilions and five the-

matic pavilions in six halls. This redesigned

thematic exhibition layout was considered

a success, and Nor-Shipping 2011 will fea-

ture a similar layout.

Rallying the IndustryNOR-SHIPPING 2009 BROKE ATTENDANCE RECORDS, SPARKED DEBATE

Such a good turnout is especially

remarkable against the backdrop of the

harsh economic climate. Tollef Schian-

der, Director for Nor-Shipping, says that

he expects the market downturn to lead

the maritime industry to reconsider how

it reaches out to the market.

“Companies concentrate their re-

sources on those activities and marketplac-

es that get results. This year’s Nor-Shipping

was more popular than ever. In a time of

crisis, the market came here to rally, based

on visitor and exhibitor figures.”

BIGGEST EVER

Nor-Shipping 2009 was the largest in the

event’s history, dating back to 1967. This

year 1,105 exhibitors from 52 countries

participated. By comparison, Nor-Shipping

2007, which took place in the midst of

a market boom, had 830 exhibitors from

42 countries.

The Leading Voices conference that

opened Nor-Shipping 2009 on Tuesday, 9

June got the show off to a strong start.

Attended by Norway’s King, Harald V,

the conference featured leaders of global

stature – such as IMO Secretary-General

Efthimios Mitropoulos and Royal Carib-

bean Cruises Ltd. Chairman & CEO Rich-

ard Fain – discussing shipping’s role in the

fight against climate change. CNN’s Todd

Benjamin led round-table discussions that

led to lively debate about the industry’s,

and regulators’, efforts to contain green-

house gas emissions.

Furthermore, the Heyerdahl Award

winner was announced at the conference.

INTRODUCING:

CLEAN SHIPPING AWARDS

Another highlight of the fair was the first

ever Clean Shipping Awards, arranged as

a collaboration between Nor-Shipping and

DNV. Selected by an independent jury, the

Clean Shipping Awards covered three cat-

egories: Clean Sea, Clean Air, and Clean

Innovation. In total, 60 companies were

considered for the awards.

According to Tollef Schiander, the

Clean Shipping Awards will serve to sup-

port environmental efforts and reward any

company with the vision and expertise to

develop groundbreaking green solutions.

The Clean Sea Award winner was

Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. in recogni-

tion of superior efforts to limit discharg-

es from ship to sea. The company’s ‘Save

the Waves’ program ensures that the on-

ly discharge to sea from the world’s larg-

est cruise ship – the Oasis of the Seas with

a passenger capacity of 8,400 – is fresh

drinkable water. Its waste is treated to a

higher quality than that of the most strin-

gent global standard.

The Clean Air Award winner was

Teekay Corporation in recognition of out-

standing efforts to reduce the emission of

greenhouse gases. Its “Amundsen Spirit”

is the first in a series of shuttle tankers

with increased tank-design pressure and

a VOC reinjection system that will pre-

vent any emissions from cargo tanks dur-

ing voyage.

The Clean Innovation Award winner

was Stena Bulk in recognition of excep-

tional efforts to develop new products and

services that contribute to the environmen-

tal performance of the world’s merchant

fleet. The Stena E-MAXair gas-electric driv-

en chemical tanker project utilises features

such as an unconventional forward body

design and strategic use of air cavities,

potentially reducing CO2 emissions by as

much as 40 percent. ■

WatMan SWRO

S eawater Reverse Osmosis (SWRO) rejects typically 98.5–99.5%

of the salinity in one pass.

In large-scale production, energy consumption creates a no-

ticeable expense. In conventional SWRO systems, typical energy

consumption varies from 6 to 10 kWh/m3-fresh water, depending

on salinity, temperature and recovery rate among others. In state-

of-the-art systems with energy recovery the energy consumption

can be as low as 2...4 kWh/m3-fresh water.

On the other hand, 1-pass SWRO can produce fresh water

with 100–150 mg/l of chloride at its best. These high rejection

systems always need an average feed pressure of 55–70 bars. So

called 2-pass SWRO can remove even up to 99.9 % of the total

salinity, meaning 20–50 mg/l of chloride. These extremely high

rejections are sometimes needed to spare the metal piping from

corrosion.

WatMan SWRO Systems can help you to produce extreme-

ly low-salinity fresh water with very low energy consumption.

This means less energy, less maintenance, less down-time, less

costs and more customer satisfaction. Less is sometimes more. ■

I nternational Maritime Organization

(IMO) is toughening up its CO2 policies.

As a consequence, energy efficiency of the

ships is becoming more and more crucial.

In July 2009 IMO’s Marine Environment

Protection Committee (MEPC) agreed on

various technical and operational measures

to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from

international shipping. The agreed meas-

ures are intended to be used for trial pur-

poses until the Committee’s next session

in March 2010.

At this time, they will be refined, as

necessary, with a view to facilitating deci-

sions on their scope of application and en-

actment. One of these measures involves

setting interim guidelines on the method

of calculation, and voluntary verification,

of the Energy Efficiency Design Index (EEDI)

for new ships. EEDI is intended to stimu-

late innovation and technical development

of all the elements influencing the energy

efficiency of a ship from its design phase.

“There is some debate about how to

apply the Energy Efficiency Design Index

the right way, but there’s no denying the

fact that the present times call for more

energy-efficient ships,” says Johan Snell-

man from STX Europe.

Photos: STX Europe

Mr. Johan Snellman.

Johan Snellman,Vice President for

Sales (Cruise & Ferries) is a long-time vet-

eran in the maritime industry, having start-

ed his career in 1981 at the Rauma yard.

Energy issues have developed a great deal

during this period:

“Right now we’re working on a fer-

ry for next year that is at least 50% more

energy-efficient in comparison to a twen-

ty-year-old ship,” he provides an example.

SHAPE IT UP

There are a great number of things that

one can do to improve energy efficiency.

The shape of the vessel, of course, is one

key consideration:

“Long and slim is the optimal shape,

but it can be impractical also,” Snellman

says, adding that some ports – such as

Stockholm – do not take in ships that are

longer than 200 metres.

“Maneuverability is the issue here.”

In addition to the shape of the vessel,

one can be make the hull slicker, bringing

down water resistance. Then there are the

propulsion systems which are constantly

being developed. In the similar vein, the

new diesel engines have been fine-tuned

to specifically target lower fuel consump-

tion. Put all these elements together, and

the big picture can change – even dras-

tically.

“If one can achieve 3–5 % energy

savings in each of these areas, this would

mean that the total effect is considerable,”

Snellman says.

HEAT STILL WASTED

And that’s just the “outside” of the ship.

Internal energy consumption can be

trimmed down a lot too. Losses and un-

used energy on ships constitute big num-

bers. While a ship (a typical ferry) travels at

19 knots, heat and losses combined swal-

low as much as 53% of the energy in fu-

el. Propulsion losses account for 11% and

transmission losses around one percent.

“The ship generates plenty of heat

that is just being wasted at present. This

is something we still have to work on,”

Snellman admits.

In the coming years, he expects that

the energy efficiency can improve anoth-

er 10–20 % from the current situation. As

the price of energy keeps climbing, ener-

gy-efficient measures will start to bring in

increased savings.

BALANCING ACT

Of course, especially on cruise ships people

do not like to surrender their comforts very

easily. Air conditioning is one area where

improvements can be made only very care-

fully – otherwise there will be a host of

complaints from sweaty cruise customers.

“Lighting is a similar issue. Not eve-

ry ship has to look like a Christmas tree,

but cruise lines like to do things their own

way.” ■

STX Europe is set to launch Oasis

of the Seas – the world’s biggest

cruise ship – in October, with the

sister ship Allure of the Seas wai-

ting in the wings. The two giants

are the talk of the industry. Howe-

ver, the creative minds at STX Eu-

rope are already thinking about

the Next Big Thing – which, it turns

out, may not be that big after all.

L aunched in Miami in March, the new

cruise ship design concept is called xp-

Tray. The name reveals the plot (at least in

part): the idea is to serve rich experienc-

es on a tray and dazzle the cruise-goers.

Sauli Eloranta, Vice President, Prod-

uct Development & Innovation at STX Eu-

rope, explains that the new concept is

based on two things: simplicity and ver-

satility.

”Same space can be utilised for many

different purposes,” he says and provides

an example: under the concept, an in-door

theatre is replaced by an outdoors thea-

tre that is positioned on the sundeck. This

way, once the fun-in-the-sun is done for

the day, the space can host a gala dinner

and a show – with fireworks, if need be.

MAKE IT COMPACT

The starting point for the concept was

cost-efficiency and earnings – and against

this background, it is easy to see why the

cruise lines have been very interested to

learn more about the concept.

“Using this concept, the ship will be

more compact than previously – a reduced

GT/pax ratio is achieved without sacrificing

Smaller is SmarterSTX EUROPE UNVEILS A NEW CRUISE SHIP CONCEPT

the attractiveness of the concept. An im-

proved ratio results in a smaller price tag

for the ship and better earnings,” Eloran-

ta explains.

Due to the new, innovative space ar-

rangement one can operate the ship with

a smaller crew as well. Furthermore, small-

er gross tonnage constitutes power sav-

ings too.

”The size of the ship impacts the

need for power a lot more than the

number of people on board, for instance.”

A crude comparison: if the number

of people is reduced by 20% but the ship

size remains the same, the need for pow-

er is cut by less than one percent. If one

were to trim the size of the ship by 20%,

the need for energy is reduced by almost

the same 20%.

MAXIMISE THE EXPERIENCE

Eloranta acknowledges that one can not

fill the ship simply with passengers – the

cruise patrons climb onboard hungry for

experiences and one must not let them

down. The xpTray has about the same

number of services and activities as tradi-

tional luxury cruise ships, even if the size

of the ship goes down.

However, Eloranta says that the Age

of Giants is far from over.

“Bigger ships are and will always be

more efficient to operate per passenger

than smaller vessels.”

Still, Eloranta believes that the new

concept may well work in the new eco-

nomic situation where the cruise lines are

hesitant to place orders for billion+ dol-

lar ships.

“The biggest ships are simply so huge

as one-off investments, that only very few

cruise lines can afford them. xpTray can

provide the key functions of the big ships

efficiently within the compounds of a

smaller ship.”

DREAMING THE DREAM

STX Europe had been playing with the idea

for some time, but the actual concept de-

velopment is less than a year old. Eloranta

says that the company utilised an “Open

Innovation team” to really strive for some-

thing unique. With 25 people in the team,

only seven came from STX.

“We had expertise from all over –

architects and designers as well as people

from the world of cruising, catering and

hospitality business.”

The team did not hit a home run right

away: Eloranta reveals that the initial vi-

sions proved to be too technical in nature.

“It was only after we put user expe-

rience in the centre, and let loose our in-

dustrial designers, that things started to

click,” says Eloranta, a ship-building en-

gineer himself.

Development & Innovation of STX Europe.

STX is now eager to convince the in-

dustry that xpTray is the way of the future.

As a product, it is easy enough to manu-

facture since the structure is so straight-

forward.

“There is a separate hull segment and

hotel segment. One can go as far as to

build the hull and the hotel tower separate-

ly and put them together only in the final

stages of construction. Together with our

experience and our designers & builders

at STX Europe the xpTray will emerge as a

viable concept from a visionary dream.” ■

N ew programme is helping maritime players think out-

side the box. FIMECC Ltd. – Finnish Metals and Engi-

neering Competence Cluster – recently launched ‘Innova-

tion and Networks’ research programme that uses maritime

as the pilot industry. Programme manager Matti Nallikari

explains that the new innovation engine encompasses two

key elements.

“First of all, we work under the premise of Open In-

novation, developing ideas with a wide range of stakehold-

ers,” he says.

“And second, maritime is the designated industry that

will pilot those innovations we can come up with.”

Nallikari sees the basic role of the programme as a

bridge-builder of sorts – to bring different types of people

together in the name of creativity. Nallikari identifies two

camps out there that really need to get closer to each other.

“There is the academic research community with far-

reaching ideas and theories and the practical-minded indus-

try engineers who concentrate on the every-day operations.

The goal – and the challenge – is to bring these two sides to-

gether in a way that creates new innovations,” Nallikari says,

adding that the dialogue between the stakeholders should

come naturally, if only the proper framework is created.

The need to build tighter networks might sound sur-

prising given the background that the Finnish maritime clus-

ter has always drawn its strength from cooperation. Nal-

likari acknowledges that networks in Finland are already in

good shape, but that doesn’t mean there is no room for im-

FIMECC programme Innovation & Networks launched

provement in a changing world. He notes that Finns have tra-

ditionally put out prototypes while Asian players have con-

centrated on serial production – right now, we are seeing a

convergence in this area as well.

“In Finland, serial construction is seen as more attrac-

tive now and other players such as the Koreans and Chinese

are looking to get into the prototype market.”

Under the programme, the Finns are exploring a plat-

form ideology which means that profile products can be de-

livered to the customer with the efficiency of serial manufac-

ture. This means, in turn, that the prototype utilises solutions

that can be repeated effortlessly. The platform approach is

expected to result in better cost-effectiveness and improved

project management.

“The platform ideology is one way which helps us to

get to where we want to be, and improve competitiveness

at the same time.”

The aim of the parent organisation FIMECC is to increase

and deepen the cooperation between companies, universi-

ties and research institutes in the area of top quality research.

In addition to Innovation and Networks, there are four other

strategic research areas.

The Innovation and Networks programme has a budg-

et of about EUR 10 million for the first year of operations.

“All and all, we expect the programme to run for about

five years,” Nallikari says. ■

assume a more important role in such

systems as Beluga Sky Sails, for instance.

Beluga is suitable for vessels that have sta-

ble course for several days and travel in the

same wind direction.

Another new concept is the Rule

Note for the use of fuel cells on ships,

which was published in April 2009. Kalja-

la remarks, however, that such ships are

still a novelty at Bureau Veritas.

“Today we still deal mostly with tra-

ditional diesel-powered ships.”

Modern diesel ships of today, of

course, have a considerable green edge.

Bureau Veritas has been collaborating with

e.g. Tallink from day one:

“All Finnish-built ships of the compa-

ny have been classified by us.”

The latest arrival to the fleet is Baltic

Queen which took to the waves in April

2009 as the maiden voyage took place

S TX Europe delivers two vessels subscribed by P&O Fer-

ries. These car ferries are planned to operate in the Eng-

lish Channel and will be delivered during the years 2010 and

2011. Both vessels will be built in the Rauma shipyard start-

ing in June 2009. These vessels are designed to represent lat-

est environmental technology. The length of the vessel is 210

meters and their load capacity is 49,000 gross tons, respec-

tively. They have room for 180 trucks and 195 cars and the

passenger capacity will be about 2,000 people.

Both vessels will be insulated with ULTIMATE products

excluding car deck. Total consumption for two vessels will be

approx. 70,000 m2 in fire protection, thermal insulation and

acoustic insulation.

Products which are planned for use are mainly:
