Passenger Ships
On board of a fun ship passengers like a
comfortable and relaxed atmosphere. They want to see
individual areas and exotic destinations. For a
cruise ship that means the necessity of a silent
machinery with a low vibration level. But you can't
run a cruise ship only in slow mode to avoid noises.
To reach the desired ports, maybe across the whole
Atlantic, speed is required. So a cruise ship very
often has two very different modes: Top speed for
long distances and a slow cruise speed in the
vacation area with partial load ranges for the
machinery. With diesel-electric propulsion you can
avoid all the problems of partial loads of diesels.
And last, but not least, diesel-electric propulsion
systems are very convenient for the user because of
excellent dynamic response from zero to maximum
propeller speed. Especially with the most modern
Siemens-Schottel-Propulsor (SSP), you can combine
the all the characteristics of a diesel electric
system with the manoeuvrability of an azimuth drive.
So it's easy to offer your passengers exotic ports,
where no tug boats are available.
All the complicated shipboard operations need
continuous control, maybe as an overview for the
bridge personnel or a more detailed insight for the
engineers. It's absolutely necessary to know what's
going on onboard, so the right decisions can be
taken, either by the helmsman or by an engineer.
With an integrated monitoring, alarm and control
system these requirements can be fulfilled.
Cruise ship passengers today have high expectations
for streamlined onboard services at their
fingertips. This includes Intra-/Internet access,
email systems, web based information systems, games
and video on demand. Cruise ship owners go to great
lengths to enhance passenger benefits with regard to
safety, the environment, entertainment and
information services. They show a great interest in
future-proof investments and increased ship
availability. - A Service-Integrated Network offers
a wide range of innovative solutions and is designed
to go beyond the above mentioned requirements:
Mainly reduction of total system costs while
utilizing innovative technology, thus achieving
customer benefits. The entire Service-Integrated
Network is designed to assist ship owners and
