Company insight Water pumps: Trust matters


The Icon class represents a new era in the cruise industry, being the largest and most innovative cruise ships ever built.

n 1996, IRON Pump delivered the first water pump package for a Royal Caribbean cruise ship, marking the beginning of a partnership that would span decades and grow stronger with every new project. Today, with pumps installed on 27 Royal Caribbean ships, and further vessels under way, IRON Pump continues to play an active role in expanding the cruise industry.


When Royal Caribbean and Meyer


Turku initiated the construction of the Icon class, they envisioned a fleet of cruise ships that would deliver exceptional guest experiences while adhering to strict environmental criteria. As a long-standing supplier to Royal Caribbean, IRON Pump was the natural choice for the water pump packages – and ready to meet the challenge. The new collaboration began with Icon

of the Seas, which entered service in January 2024. Supplying 91 centrifugal pumps for the water package on board Icon of the Seas, and 98 pumps for the second ship, Star of the Seas, IRON Pump worked closely with Meyer Turku’s engineers to ensure every pump was tailored to


perfection. As the vessel design evolved, IRON Pump adapted and fine-tuned the solutions to fit seamlessly into the vessels’ complex systems.


As the third and fourth ships in the


series are under way, IRON Pump continues to work closely with Meyer Turku. This collaboration extends beyond simply providing equipment; it’s about building trust and working together to overcome challenges. With a dedicated service manager and a responsive spare parts team, IRON Pump helps ensure that Royal Caribbean’s vessels stay operational, no matter where they are in the world. IRON Pump’s ECO-series pumps have been the preferred choice for the Icon- class cruise ships. Designed to comply with efficiency standards, these pumps deliver outstanding performance while reducing energy consumption. It’s a win-win for both the environment and the ship operators, perfectly aligning with Royal Caribbean’s sustainability goals. ●
