ALMACO to provide Provision Refrigeration plant for TUI Cruises’ vessels at Fincantieri Monfalcone
In November 2020 ALMACO was contracted to deliver engineering, supply, and commissioning of our Provision Refrigeration Plant including chiller units and air coolers to TUI Cruises’ vessels 6312 and 6313. The vessels are to be built at Fincantieri Monfalcone.
The project is a joint venture between TUI AG and Royal Caribbean Cruises. Fincantieri has developed the prototype for the energy-efficient concept used to build the vessels. The green targets of the projects are to minimize fuel consumption and the environmental impact of the vessels that are run completely on LNG (liquefied natural gas).
Joseph Kerebel, VP of Special Projects at ALMACO, says “We are looking forward to working together with Fincantieri on this inspiring project and to making our high-end technology refrigeration machinery system part of the catering solution onboard the vessels.”
The vessels are expected to be delivered to the owner in 2024 and 2026.
