Cruise vessel – for family-owned cruise company

A leading German company which provides service offerings to the cruise sector required upgrades to a vessel built in 1991, which has been operating under various owners over the years. The ship, which can accommodate up to 1,400 guests, was upgraded with emission reduction technologies in order to comply with IMO Tier III exhaust emission regulations. C-Job provided the concept design for the exhaust gas treatment system, and basic and detail design for the modification.
About the project

Minimum invasive modifications to ensure compliance

To adhere to the strict Tier III emission standards of the West Norwegian Fjord, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the ship needed to undergo upgrades to its engine and exhaust system. C-Job first performed a 3D scan as part of our feasibility study for the client, in order to outline and discuss possible solutions in the market which could achieve Tier III compliance with minimum invasive impact. A selective catalytic reduction (SCR) system proved to be best possible option for the vessel’s operational profile, and to upgrade the configuration of two of its engines.

Scanning of relevant areas in 3D was also used as input information. This ensured up-to-date information was used to optimize the vessel’s layout planning, including placement of equipment, foundations and pipe routing. C-Job helped to determine which piping was to be removed or temporarily removed and reinstalled, and how new equipment would be transported to its location in the vessel.  
 
All concept, basic, and detail engineering work was completed in this 3D environment to minimize clashes on-board during installation. To support our client and the yard, C-Job provided assistance at the yard and guided the installation on board. On completion, we updated the stability booklets with all new modifications. The Tier III upgrades now enable the vessel to sail in environmentally protected seas.
