The Ship Of The Future - an industry celebration

[ 45 ] A wide range of Foshan Daxiang Marine Equipment’s products has been procured by GSI for P&O Ferries’ game-changing Fusion-class. Besides the mooring equipment, this includes the ships’ anchors and anchor chains. By virtue of the double-ender design, the positioning of the anchors is different to that of a single-ender which typically requires anchors on either side at the bow. The P&O Ferries pair has one anchor on each end, positioned forward on the starboard side of the sailing direction. As a testament to the high quality it offers, P&O Ferries also selected Foshan Daxiang Marine Equipment to supply the Fusion-class’s ceiling panels as well as the reclining seats in the dedicated quiet lounges and Commercial Drivers’ Lounge. Quiet lounges with comfy reclining seats are a new offering on P&O Ferries’ Dover–Calais flagship service, implemented following a customer survey. Foshan Daxiang Marine Equipment today offers a multifaceted product mix exceeding 50 different products installed on all types of passenger and cargo ships, including vessels that operate in the harshest weather conditions such as ice breakers. The products fulfil the requirements of IACS and other class societies as well as the ISO 9100 quality management system. Foshan Daxiang Marine Equipment is also active outside of China through its subsidiaries Liverer (Singapore) Co Pte Ltd and Lavender Shipping Services Ltd. SHIPBUILDING
