TTS wins another project to install side-shell door onboard NCL's cruise vessel Norweigan Star
Following the successful installation of a TTS-designed side shell door onboard Norwegian Cruise Line’s (NCL) 75,338 grt cruise vessel Norwegian Spirit during 2005, NCL, headquartered in Miami, has again turned to Sweden’s TTS Ships Equipment, Gothenburg, for similar work onboard the 91,740 grt Norwegian Star. This will be the third such refit project carried out by TTS for NCL during the past 18 months.
The 1 m x 2 m side shell door is of a watertight design for the connection of shore power to the vessel when she is in port, thus meeting all the necessary environmental standards for such an operation, especially in the United States. The door will be delivered with a complete coaming for quick and easy installation and will include a new power pack and electrical control system.
The installation work will be carried out in San Francisco Dry Dock during the vessel’s next scheduled drydocking operation in March this year (2006). The supervision of the installation will be done by the new Miami based TTS Marine Inc.
