Cathelco wins orders for new cruise vessels
Cathelco has won orders to supply equipment for a number of cruise and commercial vessels which are being built in European and Far East yards in the months ahead. Impressed current cathodic
protection (ICCP) systems (pictured) will be supplied for a total of five cruise vessels which are being built by Fincantieri, in Italy.
One of the systems will be
installed on the latest Princess Cruise vessel, which is being purpose-built for the Chinese market with the capacity to accommodate 3,600 guests. The 143,000grt ship, scheduled for delivery in 2019, will be identical to the Royal Princess, Regal Princess and Majestic Princess. The Cathelco ICCP system will
protect the wetted surface of the hull against corrosion. In operation, the reference electrodes measure the electrical potential at the hull/seawater ‘interface’ and send a signal to the control panel which automatically raises or lowers the output to the anodes. In this way, the hull receives the optimum level of corrosion protection at all times.
Cathelco is also supplying ICCP
systems for two 135,500grt cruise ships which Fincantieri is building for Costa Asia and P&O Cruises Australia. The hulls of both vessels will be protected against corrosion with 200 amp forward systems and 400 amp stern systems. Viking Ocean Cruises already has
Cathelco ICCP systems installed on six of its latest ships ordered from Fincantieri. It has now ordered a further two vessels from the Italian builder which will be installed with ICCP equipment. The sister ships, scheduled for delivery in 2021 and 2022, will be of the same design as the current vessels with the capacity to accommodate 930 guests in 465 cabins.
