GE Marine Powers, Propels and Positions Cruise Shipping Miami 201

Built on a wealth of experience across GE, the newly consolidated GE Marine organization will be putting the spotlight on its offerings for the cruise industry at the Cruise Shipping Miami 2015
exhibition, booth 2447.

GE’s continuous effort to improve technologies and bring innovation to our cruise industry customers ensures GE’s solutions can meet even the most stringent needs.

Fuel consumption and reliability of cruise operations are brought together through more efficient and better integrated solutions, enabling a smooth journey for cruise passengers while bringing cost savings for operators. It comes as no surprise that GE is a trusted and reliable partner for major cruise liners and shipyards when it comes to equipping the latest cruise vessels.
Innovative technologies enable GE Marine to be a trusted partner

Chosen repeatedly for more than 10 years by Fincantieri shipyard to equip in-board propulsion for Carnival and Costa vessels, GE Marine has helped the shipyard successfully deliver the Costa Diadema cruise ship to the Carnival Corporation on the 28th of October 2014. Constructed at the Marghera Shipyards near Venice, Italy, the cruise ship has the capacity to carry up to 5,000 passengers. The Costa Diadema cruise ship benefits from GE Marine’s latest technology and vast experience in the cruise industry including better optimization of fuel consumption, enhanced safety and reliability of the vessel’s operation. GE’s capability to meet customers’ tough requirements has sustained this valuable relationship with the Carnival Corporation for more than 10 years.

GE Marine has also recently been selected to lead the Italian consortium that will power two additional cruise liners to be delivered in 2017 and 2018 by Fincantieri for MSC Crociere’s planned ‘Seaside’ platform. The two new cruise ships will join the existing fleet of 12 vessels, all of which use electrical propulsion from GE. Fincantieri is employing sea proven technology from GE Marine that offers improved safety and enhanced reliability among other benefits. The GE solution will also use a less complicated installation and cabling process while the reduced weight on board ships brings fuel savings and altogether lowers MSC’s operating costs.
