Cruise & Ferry Review - Autumn/Winter 2022

1 2 6 FEATURE STI Marine has supplied MBD100 marine busbar devices on Disney Cruise Line’s new Disney Wish. Installed in the electrical service shafts, the busbar device significantly reduces the amount of steelwork and weight onboard the ship. The busbar device was developed in conjunction with the electrical design team at Meyer Werft shipyard, and was fire-tested and certified in five months. Installation time, inside a very narrow vertical shaft, was reduced from 6.5 hours to 30 minutes using the MBD100 device in comparison to traditional busbar penetration systems. The device also reduces vibration transmission and noise from the trunk to the decks, as well as contributing to fire safety due to its rapid intumescent expansion properties. Making electrical installs safer STI Marine’s busbar device reduces the risk of fires onboard Disney Wish Tritan Software provides a platform of integrated solutions, such as SeaCare and SeaSafe, to help cruise and ferry companies manage the entire spectrum of health and medical needs for crew and passengers sailing on vessels across their fleets.
