Insulating for Safety

Roland | April 25, 2008 at 1:16 pm | In Technical, Latest News |

Chief Officer and Blog Board member Andre van Schoonhoven sent us these behind-the-scenes shots of fire-proof insulation being installed on Eurodam.

Recently, the U.S. Coast Guard went on board to conduct the structural fire protection inspection. According to Andre, insulation is a very big part of that inspection. Because of the insulation material, the bulkheads will contain fires for up to 60 minutes.

Andre said that so far a total of 140,000 square meters (1.5 million square feet) of insulation material has been installed on the ship.

As I see the Eurodam in its final phase of construction, I can’t help but wonder if it will have a wrap-around promenade like other HAL ships?

William:

Yes, Eurodam will have a full wrap-around promenade called, appropriately, Promenade Deck.

Cane you give us more information about other safety measures a/b the Eurodam. Such as Sprinklers, life boats, water tight compartments etc. etc.

Greetings frome the home port Ben van Zeijl
