In the Monfalcone shipyard of Fincantieri, with
the flooding of the dry dock,
Mein was launched
Schiff Flow, the second of two cruise ships for TUI Cruises,
joint venture between TUI and Royal Caribbean Cruises. The new ship of the
newly developed dual-fuel "InTUItion" class
(GNL-MGO), is the sister ship of
Mein Schiff Relax
delivered to the owner last February and will take to sea
in mid-2026.
With about 160,000 gross tons, Mein Schiff
Flow is based on a next-generation design
developed by Fincantieri and will be equipped with converters
catalytic converters (Euro 6 compliant) and a steam turbine
which exploits the waste heat of diesel generators, as well as a
electrical connection system to the quay. All
will ensure almost emission-free operation during
the stop in port (about 40% of the operating time). The ship will be
also equipped with an innovative and efficient
waste treatment capable of transforming substances
organic components that can be recycled through a thermal process.
