It is reported that Genting Hong Kong's wholly-owned German shipyard MV WERFTEN will install Evac's complete Cleantech solution for two new "global-class" cruise ships of the Star Cruises, the leading shipping company in the Asia-Pacific region. The contract also includes the priority of two other ships of the same class. .
Star Cruises' "global" cruise ship is specifically designed for the growing Asian market, and the two new ships will be delivered in 2020 and 2021. With a length of more than 340 meters and a total tonnage of 201,000 tons, this type of vessel will be the largest ship built by the MV WERFTEN shipyard. Similarly, the contracted Evac waste management system is also the largest system installed on the ship.
As a waste and water management system, Evac's complete Cleantech program includes vacuum collection, wastewater treatment, dry and wet water treatment, freshwater generation, and desalination units. This fresh water treatment unit is based on reverse osmosis technology and produces over 3,000 cubic meters of fresh water per day. Evac's complete Cleantech solution significantly simplifies the implementation and coordination of shipyard shipbuilding processes.
According to Jarmo Laakso, General Manager of MV WERFTEN Shipyard, “We chose Evac because of its extensive experience in the shipping industry. The company has completed more than 20,000 ship projects and is the only complete system package supplier. These are environmentally friendly. And the energy efficient system meets all the needs of these new cruise ships and is the largest such system in the world."
