Girbau Tunnel Washers: The Ultimate Choice for Cruise Ship Laundry Solutions 

Laundry operations onboard today’s mega cruise vessels must combine high-capacity throughput with flawless hygiene, all while operating in the harsh maritime environment. With thousands of guests and crew depending on a constant supply of clean linen, efficiency, sustainability, and reliability are critical. This is why Girbau tunnel washers, when delivered through ALMACO as part of a turnkey solution, remain the gold standard for marine laundry systems.

Optimal Efficiency and Capacity 

Girbau’s continuous batch washing technology is specifically engineered to meet the massive laundry demands of large cruise ships without compromising space.  

The design is a perfect fit for lower-deck laundry spaces, allowing cruise operators to save room while maintaining maximum output. With fewer operators needed and fully automated sequences, onboard teams benefit from simplified workflow and reduced physical strain. 

Marinized for Life at Sea 

At sea, equipment must withstand constant vibration, high humidity, while maintaining operational integrity during severe movements. Girbau leads the market with the highest degree of marinization available today. Certified for pitch & roll, even heavy seas do not interrupt washing operations. Cruise lines today are under pressure to embrace sustainable operations, and Girbau technology makes it possible. 

Regulatory Compliance Guaranteed 

Girbau equipment is designed to meet owner’s requirements and specifications for marine standards. Hygiene integrity is supported by programmable, monitored wash cycles with full temperature control and compartmental processing, providing traceability that satisfies the strictest inspection requirements. 

Girbau tunnel washers are built for longevity and performance, designed to operate continuously with minimal maintenance intervention. This robust design results in fewer breakdowns and minimal spare parts consumption, ensuring consistent performance and predictable operating costs. 

Turnkey Delivery and Global Support 

Through ALMACO, operators receive a comprehensive solution encompassing every stage of the process, from pre-development, procurement, installation, and commissioning.
