thermal insulation and acoustic insulation.
T
he car ferries are planned to operate in the English Channel and will be delivered during the years 2010 and 2011.
Both vessels will be built in the Rauma shipyard. The vessels are designed
to represent latest environmental technology. The length of the vessel is 210 meters and their load capacity is 49,000 gross tons, respectively. They have room for
180 trucks and 195 cars and the passenger capacity will be about 2,000 people.
Products mainly planned to be used:
UMFV 36 roll which is mainly used in A60 Deck solutions and
fire protection to metal ducts
UMFN 24 roll which is mainly used in A30 Deck solutions and
in sound reduction
UMPN 66 flexible slabs which are used in stiffeners and
A 60 Bulkhead solutions
ULTIMATE solution gives also the advantages in quick installation KT rolls
(glass wool products) will be used in thermal insulations in the upper
decks due to their thermal performance and lighter weight.
P&O and STX decided for ULTIMATE because of its benefits in light weight
solutions: that results in reduced fuel consumption and operation costs
and, consequently, reduction of emissions. This is all about being an
environmentally friendly company. ■
