Cruise and Ferry Review - Summer/Spring 2020

4 7 Putting the spotlight on great design Product picks 4. The Seabed by PearsonLloyd The Seabed is an L-shaped lounge sofa that can be converted into a bed, which will be featured as part of PearsonLloyd’s new cabin concept onboard Virgin Voyages’ Scarlet Lady. The patent-pending design allows the cabin layout to become more versatile and spacious, encouraging both socialising and relaxation depending on its configuration. 1,408 of the newly designed cabins featuring the transformable cabin bed will be available onboard the ship. 3. TDL 88 LED downlight by TVV Marine Lighting TVV Marine’s TDL 88 LED downlight has a light source that uses the Zhaga Consortium’s standardised interface. This ensures that ship operators can easily upgrade the light by simply replacing the LED module with another that shares the same interface. The LED downlight meets B0, B15, IP-rated and USPH requirements, allowing it to be used anywhere onboard the ship that requires high safety standards. The design of the light also allows cruise lines to make considerable energy savings, reducing costs and environmental impact. 2. Mundus by Wanzl The Mundus chambermaid trolley, used by housekeeping staff to carry supplies while they keep cabins clean, is specially adapted for the conditions onboard a cruise ship. The fold-out push handle and locking brake allows for better manoeuvrability and greater stability, making work onboard a moving ship much easier. The trolley is also customisable, with a choice of design and facilities that can be adapted to suit different requirements. 1 2 3 4 CFR highlights some of the innovative products being used onboard cruise ships 1. Lightweight panoramic glass sliding roof by Brombach + Gess: Made from composite materials that are resistant to both corrosion and wear, Brombach + Gess’s panoramic glass sliding roof system can enable the use of pool areas in all weathers. The new system has a semi-circular crosswork support structure and a simple modular design, which has increased the glass area by 18% and improves the appearance. The use of composite materials also reduces the weight by 43% compared to an aluminium roof, a net weight reduction of 20.1 metric tonnes . MARKETWATCH
