HVAC technology for three mega yachts
Aerius Marine has been contracted by MV
Werften to supply the climate technology
for three mega yachts of the »Endeavor«
class. As a system integrator, Aerius Marine
provides the complete climate control
systems including »turnkey« water
chillers. The package contains everything
from design to delivery / materials logistics
and assembly to commissioning.
The ships are built for the Crystal Cruises
shipping company belonging to Genting
Hong Kong. The prototype »Crystal
Endeavor« is scheduled for delivery
in 2019. The three luxury cruise ships are
equipped with ice class PC6 and allow
AXIKO
tours from the tropics to the polar regions.
With regard to climatic engineering,
the vessels are subject to the highest standards,
e.g. in terms of comfort and sound.
»We are very proud to be able to contribute
to these ships and to bring our experience
from the design and construction
of climate control systems for more than
50 complex passenger ships to MV Werften
now,« says Thomas Arlit, CEO Aerius
Marine. According to Stefan Schleper, Director
Passenger Ships Aerius Marine, the
cooperation between the shipyard and the
Aerius team has worked very well even in
the basic design for the Endeavor class. M
