· Another first for Princess to supply sustainable power and better maneuverability to save fuel, Sun Princess will be outfitted with two Azipod propulsions for forward and backward movements and the four largest Controllable Pitch Propellers, known as bow thrusters, on the market for sideways navi...
The Two70° and Vistarama venues aboard Quantum of the Seas were designed by 5+design. The Azipod XO thrusters for the ship were provided by ABB. ABB also supplied a complete electrical system for the two new ships.
The Marquette cruise ship will do things differently than other cruise ship condos. The extraordinary vessel won’t be all-inclusive. The Marquette will offer the usual amenities, listed above, but if her residents want other special perks, such as an arranged golf event, watercraft rental, stor...
The vessel has 1,020 staterooms, including 28 outside suites; 26 outside demi-suites; 564 outside twins; 383 inside twins; and19 inside upper and lowers. The ship’s vast six-deck atrium and promenade were embellished with floor-to-ceiling columns and finely crafted classical reliefs. On ...
The next design (by Aker Arctic) is of an expedition ship ordered by the UK-based company Polar Cruise Enterprises Ltd. The vessel has LOA length of 135.5 m, Beam 17.8 m, Draught 5.5 m, Propulsion 2x 3.5 MW azimuth thrusters, Engines 4x MAK 6M32C (2,88 MW each) allowing max cruisi...
Use all horizontal thrusters while moving forward or in reverse to cruise quickly from dive site to dive site. During the entire dive with a Cruise Sub the seating platform can be turned in any desired position in order to get the best view....
When a ship is in the push-pull mode, an interacting force is induced by complex turbulent flow around the ship generated by the propellers and side thrusters. In this paper, three degrees of freedom equations of the motions of crabbing are derived. The equations are used to apply the ...
Rooms that are low at the front of the ship will be closer to the bow thrusters and the anchor. What Cabin Amenities Matter to You? Butler on Crystal Serenity during World Cruise (Photo: Chris Gray Faust) All cabins come with basic amenities, such as housekeeping and turndown servic...
things might have turned out differently. One of the Titanic's downfalls was its inability to turn quickly to avoid the iceberg that ripped the bow open. Traditionally, cruise ships rely on rudders and differentiating propeller speed to turn, but ships equipped with azimuth thrusters turn much ...
The cruise ship’s engines and propulsion Allure of the Seas features six Wartsila 46 diesel engines with a total power output of 97,020kW. It is propelled by three electric azimuth thrusters of 20MW each and four bowthrusterseach with 7,500hp. The ship can travel at a cruising speed of...
