Accommodation, Hotel & Domestic Systems

Hot water calorifier

The ship's hot-water heater — a storage vessel warmed by steam or electricity — with circulation that keeps hot water promptly available at distant taps.

Provision refrigeration plant

The refrigeration machinery for the ship's food stores, holding meat, vegetable and dairy rooms at their different temperatures for months of provisions.

Accommodation AC plant (AHU / chillers)

The air-conditioning plant for the living quarters: chillers cool water, air-handling units (AHUs) condition the air, and ducts distribute it to every cabin and public room.

Galley & laundry equipment

The ship's kitchen and laundry installations — ranges, ovens, dishwashers, washers and dryers — hotel-scale on cruise ships, compact on cargo ships.

Elevators & lifts

Passenger and service elevators in the accommodation, plus stores and engine room lifts on larger ships — a major installation on cruise ships with thousands aboard.

Swimming pool & spa systems

The pools, whirlpools and their water treatment, heating and circulation plants on passenger ships — leisure systems with genuine engineering behind them.

Crew LAN & welfare systems

The crew's own computer network and internet access, entertainment and calling services — the connectivity that modern seafarers rightly expect on months-long contracts.

Passenger & hotel ICT systems

The information-technology backbone of a passenger ship's hotel side: booking, billing, point-of-sale, cabin management — a shore-hotel IT estate afloat.

Vacuum sanitary collection system

A toilet system that transports sewage by vacuum through small pipes, using far less water and allowing flexible routing — standard on passenger ships.

Cabin / hotel automation and room-control system

The in-cabin controls for lighting, temperature and do-not-disturb status, networked so the hotel side manages comfort and energy across thousands of rooms.

Passenger information, entertainment and digital-signage system

The cabin TV, announcements, wayfinding screens and event displays that inform and entertain passengers — and switch to emergency instructions when needed.

Medical / hospital and medical-gas system

The ship's hospital with its equipment and piped medical gases, sized from a treatment room on cargo ships to a small clinic with isolation capability on passenger ships.
