Italy. Double Keel Laid for two new Seabourn sister ships
Monday, 30 June 2008
Today at the yard of CI.MAR (Cimolai-Mariotti) in San Giorgio di
Nogaro (East Italy) Seabourn and T.Mariotti have confirmed their good
relationship with a spectacular double keel laying of two new ultra
luxury sister ships.
Present at the ceremony were: Pamela Conover President and CEO of
Seabourn, Marco Bisagno
Chairman of T.Mariotti shipyard Genova and Luigi Cimolai a leader of
the Pordenone Group and President of CI.MAR. Costruzioni Navali,
together with the Companies’ top management and Pietro Del Frate the
Mayor of San Giorgio di Nogaro.
At CI.MAR yard in San Giorgio di Nogaro (East Italy) Pamela Conover
(President of Seabourn, the luxury brand of Miami based Carnival
Corporation & PLC) and Marco Bisagno (Chairman of the Italian Genova
based T.Mariotti Shipyard) placed their coins on each of the two
blocks that will become the hulls of the new buildings MAR063 and
MAR064. Two welders have been employed to fix the coins simultaneously
on the steel to underline that those ships are twins.
The double ceremony, with two keels laid and four coins welded,
symbolize the confidence in the segment of cruising of that class and
express satisfaction with the progress of the work carried out on the
first new Seabourn flag ship thus far.
The yet un-named cruise ships scheduled to be delivered in 2010 and
2011, follow Seabourn Odyssey, whose sleek hull arrived at Genova
T.Mariotti’s quay at the end of May for the cruise ship’s
construction. Odyssey’s hull is now completed with steel
superstructures and will be outfitted for delivery in 2009.
The three ultra luxury cruise ships are triplets designed to become
the ultimate innovation in the cruise industry. The Euro 550 million
order confirms T.Mariotti as a world leader in the field of ultra
luxury shipbuilding.
The new 32.000 GRT ships (650 feet long, with a beam of 84 feet and
draft of 21 feet) will feature the intimate comfort that is Seabourn’s
hallmark in 225 luxury suites (ninety percent of which will offer
private verandas), and boast among the highest space per guest ratios
in the cruise market.
Safety on board, air and sea protection are the primary aspects of the
project.
All the three Green Ships comply with the latest IMO (International
Maritime Organization) safety standards for damage stability that come
into force in 2009, even though construction will begin before the new
rules take effect.
Green Star is the highest rating for ships employing advanced
wastewater treatment technology to minimize pollution and protect the
air and sea environment.
The ships will be powered with two fully independent propulsion
systems for safe travel even in case of emergency.
