CRUISESHIP TECHNOLOGY
Hi-Fog hits the heights on Genesis project M
ARIOFF’S high pressure water mist system Hi-Fog is once again the preferred
fire protection choice for the very largest of cruiseships. The Hi-Fog 2000 system has been selected for the
Genesis project. The system will include more than 13,000 sprinklers and cover all accommodation, public and service spaces. In the machinery spaces Hi-Fog will offer a
significantly higher level of fire protection than required by the regulations of the International Maritime Organization, at RCCL’s request. In addition, Hi-Fog nozzles will be installed to
protect the laundry and galley ducts as well as the deep fat fryers. As a special feature, the Hi-Fog system will be commissioned into use as the ship is being built.
Lifts for world's largest cruise ship
and installation of all lifts on the 220,000gt Genesis project ship, which is building at Turku for Royal Caribbean International (RCI). Finland-based Kone will supply the giant cruise ship with a total of 41 customised models, serving the vertical transportation needs of both passengers and crew. The units will be hoisted and lowered by
A
Kone EcoDisc machinery and based on either the Kone MiniSpace or the machine-room- less Kone MonoSpace platform. Delivery of all lifts is scheduled for autumn 2009. Meanwhile, in the second quarter of
2006, production of lift doors for the North American market got underway in Kone's purpose-built facility in Torreón, Mexico. Kone has now decided to transfer the current lift component manufacturing activities in McKinney, Texas, to Torreón by the middle of 2007.
Koja’s landmark deal
H
EATING, ventilation and air conditioning systems aboard the ship being developed
under Project Genesis will be supplied by Finnish company Koja Marine. The supplier said the vessel would feature
numerous innovations in its HVAC and HVAC automation systems, without going into further detail. Koja will deliver air handling units, technical
space cooling units, a new type of integrated cabin fancoil and public area fancoil, all air devices, HVAC pumps and heat exchangers, as well as undertaking electrification, HVAC automation and commissioning.
THE NAVAL ARCHITECT FEBRUARY 2007 MA N O E U V R I N G
CONTRACT has been won by Kone, from Aker Yards, for the design, supply,
As soon as a section has been completed, it will be connected to the active HI-FOG system. Thus the system will provide fire protection for the ship during construction. Marioff said its current order book included
multiple orders from all four major shipyards building cruise vessels in Finland, Italy, Germany and France. The Hi-Fog approach involves millions of water
droplets and uses up to ten times less water than a conventional spraying system, increasing the capability of the system to fight fires, while at the same time minimising damage.
13,000 Hi-Fog sprinklers will be installed on the ship that will emerge from the Genesis project.
