The
cruise ship with name Oasis of the Seas is just one vessel in process
of building, but when come on water this vessel will be the largest
cruise ship of the world. Oasis of the Seas is one new page in maritime
transport, and I’m sure that the noise to this ship will be
even larger than to Queen Mary 2. The cruise ship Oasis of the Seas
is large and very luxury. The deadweight of the ship is 220,000
Gross Register Tons, while the displacement of the vessel is approximately
100,000 metric tons. The vessel Oasis of the Seas has a length of
360 meters (or 1,181 feet) and the beam of 47 meters (or 154 feet).
The height of the vessel Oasis of the Seas is 65 meters (or 213
feet), which is the dimension above the water line, and the draft
of the giant will be 9 meters (30 feet). Such large cruise ship
will need of strong engine, which should be economy, environmental
and safety. The builders installed eight Wartsila V12 engines, with
power of 17,500 horse powers each, which is giving a high power
pretty enough for such large vessel. And with this engine and propulsion
system of Asea Brown Boveri Azipod, which has a power of 3x20 MW
is giving the speed to the ship of 20.3 knots, which is even not
the maximum possible speed, but the economy one.
The
vessel Oasis of the Seas is one perfectly and very beautiful designed
ship. The vessel is building in the Aker Yards in Turku, Finland.
The maiden voyage of the vessel is planned for 12th of December,
2009. To this date there is a lot of time, so we will expect with
great interest the time, when the vessel will be put on water. And
the beauty of the cruise ship Oasis of the Seas, should be great,
in words of the ship-owner Royal Caribbean International. The passengers
capacity of the vessel is the incredible 5,400 guests. According
to the information the ratio between guests and crew on board will
be between 2.3 and 2.7, but even higher value of this number, will
not be in harm of the passengers. The cruise ship Oasis of the Seas
will offer 5 star luxury cruises, which is the main purpose while
the contract for this ship was signed. In press release of the ship-owner
the ship will have a large green area, nice parks and many entertainments
for young and old people. The innovation in entertainment is aquatheatre,
which is one very interesting idea of the builders of this vessel.
Also the ship will have library, theatre, 3 cinemas, many shops,
disco clubs and whatever you can imagine. This ship is one of the
most interesting and definitely many words will be written in the
next years about Oasis of the Seas. date: 8th September,
