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

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.

CELEBRITY EQUINOX BY THE NUMBERS
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

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:
UMFV 36 roll which is mainly used in A60 Deck solutions
and fire protection to metal ducts
