GLOBAL DESIGN OF CRUISE SHIPS BASED ON COMMERCIAL, SAFETY AND SECURITY FRAMEWORK Andrés Molina Martí Director General de MARFORCE SL ex COO Pullmantur Cruises (Grupo RCCL)

GREAT PASSENGER ROUTES ON BOARD Dining Room bars and shops Main Theatre. Cabin bars and shops atrium/main street excursion ashore. Cabin bars and shops tender embarkation. Buffet/Self Service SPA- Fitness Swimming Pool. Cabin bars and shops (Main Street) casino dining room theatre. Swimming Pool open air activities. A good combination and arrangement of free areas (services included in the ticket price) should push guests to money spending areas, normally placed between two major free spaces. For guests orientation and ship s offer visibility, the Atrium and the Main Street in Silja Line and RCCL ship, dramatically improved this commercial approach to define the GA of the vessel

Safety basic concepts. Fire and watertight divisions Main stairways Fire Bulkheads Watertight bulkheads Green Zone: Watertight Blue Zone, Semi-Watertight Red Zone: Life appliances embarkation area White Zone: Fire Zones Watertight Deck
ATRIUM
VERTICAL ATRIUM CONCEPT = MORE THAN TWO DECKS, SPRINKLERS, ADJACENT ESCAPE WAY, LIMITATION IN COMBUSTIBLE MATERIAL VERSUS SIZE AND SMOKE DISPERSION SYSTEM HORIZONTAL ATRIUM CONCEPT DOES NOT EXIST IN THE REGULATIONS. REQUIRES HORIZONTAL A-CLASS DIVISIONS AND CLASSICAL BIG SIZE SLIDING FIRE DOORS. NOVEL DESIGN
NOVEL DESIGN = RISK ASSESSMENT = SAFE RETURN TO PORT + DAMAGE STABILITY
CASUALTY TRESHOLD FLOODING: A SINGLE COMPARTMENT FIRE: IF WITH SPRINKLERS IN THE AFFECTED AREA: ADJACENT AREAS ARE NOT AFFECTED IF WITHOUT SPRINKLER IN THE AFFECTED AREA: ALL ADJACENT AREAS ARE AFFECTED THROUGHOUT THE NEXT BULKHEAD A- CLASS.

REQUIRED INDEX FOR PROBABILISTIC AFTER DAMAGE STABILITY CRITERIA N = N1+2N2 N1 = NUMBER OF PEOPLE FOR WHICH LIFEBOATS ARE PROVIDED
ATTAINED INDEX (SOURCE BV)
A CALCULATION i = Group of compartments p = Probability for the damage to happen along the length r = Probability for the damage to happen transversally V = Probability for the damage to happen vertically S = Obtained after the calculation for each corresponding case of the damage stability results in final and intermediate flooding stages
ALTERNATIVES IN EMERGENCY SHIP S ABANDON (30 MINUTES AND 3 HOURS OF ENDURANCE FOR THE REQUIRED EQUIPMENT FOR EVACUATION AND SURVIVAL) OR SHIP S RETURN: THE SHIP MUST SAIL FOR ABOUT 1,000 MILES AND PEOPLE MUST BE SAFE AND PROTECTED ON BOARD FROM THE EXTERNAL CONDITIONS

WITH ACCOMMODATION, TOILETS, FOOD AND REASONABLE A/C THE SHIP MUST BE ABLE TO SAFELY SAIL FOR 1,000 NM, AT A MINIMUM SPEED OF 7 NOTS, AND WITH PEOPLE IN SAFE ZONES
