First ULTIMATE project in Finland will start in STX Europe Rauma shipyard
 
STX Europe delivers two vessels subscribed by P&O Ferries.
These 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 starting
in June 2009. These 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.
Both vessels will be insulated with ULTIMATE products
excluding car deck. Total consumption for two vessels will be
approx. 70,000 m2 in fire protection, thermal insulation and
acoustic insulation.
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.
