 SISHIPCIS PAX for a "DIVA"


68500- ton luxury cruise liner “AIDA Diva” delivered in April 2007
Owned by Aida Cruises, branch of P&O
Built by Meyer Shipyard, Papenburg, Germany
 

With the first new cruise liner in a series of 4 Aida Cruises is expecting to expand its leading position in the German cruise market even further. Each vessel will be 249 meters long, 32.2 meters in beam and, with a gross tonnage of 68,500, will be able to carry 2030 passengers.

Siemens Marine Solutions Hamburg delivered the complete Systems for Power Generation, electrical Propulsion and Automation.
With this new reference Siemens Marine Solutions again combined latest environmental friendly propulsion technology with highest standards of reliable and fail to safe ship automation to a completely integrated solution (CIS). This configuration lead into following main advantages for the owner:

Reduced costs at all levels by innovative solutions with inter-process control technologies
Increased reliability and higher levels of efficiency by intelligent networking
High level of comfort for the passengers by innovative Drive Solutions
Increased transparency, safety and consistency by comprehensive control systems

 SISHIPCIS POWER

principle of  high redundant propulsion system

Each of the diesel-electric main propulsion systems supplied by Siemens will have an output of 2 x 12.5 MW. Key features of the two propulsion motors will be their extremely low levels of noise and vibration. The diesel-electric propulsion systems will also be exceptionally eco-friendly in that harmful exhaust emissions from the engines when running at their rated load will be drastically reduced. Safety is always the key issue for the operator. With the SISHIP DRIVE MV System AIDA Diva fulfills the latest classification notation RP3 50%.
This innovative propulsion concept will ensure

Medium Voltage (11 kV) Switchboard with SIPROTEC protection device

always a availability of 50 % propulsion power even at flooding of one watertight section.
In addition, the energy management system will also incorporate an open interface for linking to the “SISHIP IMAC” marine automation system.

4 Generators, each 12.000 kVA
2 Main switchboards, medium voltage 11 kV
4 Ring main units 11 kV
8 Distribution transformers 1.000-3.500 kVA

Propulsion system:
2 synchronous motors with each 12.500 kW for
  main propulsion, 130 rpm
Frequency Converter 48-pulse Load Commutated
  Converter (LCI)
2 Bow  thruster motors, each 2.300 kW

 SISHIPCIS IMAC, a high end monitoring and control system

Engine Control Room

SISHIP IMAC in a very large configuration  provides all the technical preconditions to operate the machinery of such a high sophisticated ship like the AIDA Diva.

This system is based on SIMATIC components and will undertake all supervisory, alarm and control functions on board.

  The process control system will employ distributed units linked together by means of local area networks. This will reduce the amount of cabling required while at the same time providing a higher level of fault tolerance. SISHIP IMAC also incorporates the safety management system, air-conditioning control and the self-contained emergency shut down system (ESD).

 

System configuration in detail:

10.800 I/Os for machinery automation
2.850 I/Os for Heating, Ventilation and AC
21 Operator Stations,  2 mobile OS, 5 WEB OS
1 Engineering Work Station
Hot Stand-By IMAC Server
1 SMS Server, 1 Archive Server
1 redundant Infrastructure Domain Control Server
Safety Management System
Emergency Shut Down System
redundant Process Control Units
redundant High Speed BUS Systems

 OSRAM Marine Lighting – setting course for the future
Most of the luminaires on the AIDA DIVA are equipped with OSRAM lamps and electronic control gears.

The lighting design includes state-of-the-art light management system DALI which offers the most innovative and energy efficient lighting currently available.
