Four RCCL Ships

Cegelec was selected by Kvaerner

Masa-Yards to supply the electrical package — including all equipment for on-board power generation and main electrical propulsion with the synchrodrive solution — for a sec- ond cruise ship for Royal Caribbean

Cruise Line (RCCL). The first order was last spring. Per ship, Cegelec will provide two 17MW -143/145 rpm synchronous motors associated to 12-pulse synchroconverters.

Cegelec was also awarded a con- tract from Chantiers de 1' Atlantique for the electrical package for a pair of cruise ships (one firm, one option) also for RCCL.
