built passenger ships German shipbuilder Meyer Werft contracted the Dutch deck specialist Bolidt Kunststoftoepassing BV to install decking on a 130,000gt passenger ship that was delivered last month from Meyer Werft’s Papenburg shipyard. The project saw the ship fitted with 15,500m2
of Bolidt material for
the outdoor decks. Te majority of the deck areas, as well as the
stairs and steps, have been covered using Bolidt’s environmentally friendly Bolideck Future Teak, a composite decking product that replicates the look and feel of traditional teak decks, but offers further benefits through reduced installation times and easier onboard maintenance. Other products used in the outdoor deck areas
include Bolideck Select Soſt, for some of the more colourful design features onboard, and Bolideck Select Hard for inside the pool wading areas. Bolidt has also supplied a special pool coating system and bespoke base design for the bottom of the pools. Te vessel also features more than 3400m2 deck coverings and in excess of 3500m2
of indoor of C-Rail
from Bolidt. Two further cruise vessels at Meyer Werſt due for
delivery this year will also feature Bolidt products. For Celebrity Reflection and AidaMar, the fiſth and sixth in their respective series, Bolidt is supplying all the outdoor decks using Future Teak, as well as Bolideck Select Soſt in colourful areas, while the balconies will feature Bolideck 525.
