Passengers require a safe and pleasant atmosphere
Article Abstract:
Cruise lines need to develop adequate air conditioning systems to accomodate the specific needs of their customers. Consequently, it is essential for shipowners, shipbuilders and air conditioning designers to cooperate in developing appropriate air conditioning systems. Designers and shipbuilders need to conform to the unique needs of the shipowners, particularly in terms of air conditioning requirements for individual cabins and public areas. Moreover, designers should also considered the effects of cigarette smoke and cooking odors in planning the optimal air conditioning system.

Thruster replacement during a cruise
Article Abstract:
A cruise liner was unable to replace one of its thrusters before the ship could leave for a cruise and staying longer would have meant cancelling the cruise and disappointing the passengers. As the installation of thruster can be carried out during short stays in port, the operation needed to be spread over a period of two weeks and accordingly the steps for installation were initiated.
