They have cut in half the MSC Armonia, MSC cruise ship group, separating the bow from aft and have materially lengthened by 24 meters, creating the interior space for the insertion of a central section of new construction of 2,200 tons. It is the first intervention made by the workers of Fincantieri in Palermo as part of the Renaissance program launched by MSC which involves a total investment of 200 million and work in four cruise ships.
A work of complex and highly engineered that achieved on the MSC began Sept. 2, the day when engineers Fincantieri have marked the cut line to allow thorough sanding of the area, continued to Sept. 3 with the deactivation of the electrical installations of the ship and completed Monday with the final cut, with two days in advance of the scheduled date. Finally, the forward displacement of 30 meters on the rails of the prow of 14 thousand tons. Interventions under the Renaissance program aimed at significantly reducing the environmental impact of Msc Armonia whose work should be completed by November 17 when the ship will return to service for the inaugural cruise in the Mediterranean from Genoa November 19 direct to the Canary Islands For the new journey the ship will rely on 193 new cabins that will be added thanks to the total refit that will be realized. “It was a long time that Msc Cruises – said Emilio La Scala, general manager of MSC Cruises Technical Department -voleva give course to such an ambitious program, but we wanted to be sure to choose the best partner. Fincantieri has the proven expertise and experience in this type of transaction. “

Still on the subject of reducing the consumption of fuel the company that provides the propellers MSC Cruises is considering a new propeller to maximize efficiency. Investment program for the use of the technological equipment led in all the common areas of the ship with the goal of reducing energy consumption on board and will be installed an inverter for variable speed drive, a system that reduces the power consumption of the ship and adjust the base operating conditions.
