Deerberg Offers Brochure

On Waste Handling,

Interior Design

Through Deerberg-Trading, out- fitting and interior design special- ists, and Deerberg-Systems, a com- pany specializing in waste-handling treatment, the Oldenburg, Ger- many-based Deerberg family of com- panies is able to provide the cruise ship and luxury ferry industry with a wide variety of services.

For example, Deerberg-Trading is able to offer high standard cabins, including bathroom units and fur- niture. The Clip In System (CIS) 600 model accommodation unit pro- vides simplified installation—no screws are needed. The cabins also have excellent sound absorption qualities and offer substantial weight savings. Technical assis- tance, planning, design and turn- key installation are all available from Deerberg-Trading.

Other products available through the company include: guest safes, ships signs and marine auxiliary cranes.

For shipboard waste handling,

Deerberg-Systems provides the cruise industry with the "Deerberg

Concept." Designed around the size of the cruise liner, ship's operational area, and existing and forthcoming environmental regulations, the new

Deerberg Concept is a total waste management plan under which all types of garbage (glass, tin, paper, cardboard, food waste, etc.) are fed unsorted, after the shredding pro- cess, into an incinerator. The burn- able waste is reduced to ash.

Some of the advantages of this waste handling concept are: no pol- lution of the cruising area; optimal volume waste reduction/disinfected residuals; quick disposal of waste to the shore; simplified handling for the receiver; and recycling in shoreside facilities.

Both Deerberg-Trading and

Deerberg-Systems have U.S. repre- sentatives located in Florida to pro- vide customer support to the cruise industry.
