EVAC offers a quieter toilet

Leading cruise and ferry vacuum toilet specialist EVAC, has launched its latest system, the EVAC 910, which the Helsinki-based company claims is the quietest vacuum toilet available in the cruise industry today, with a discharge noise of just 4 dB and a peak noise of around 8dB.

The EVAC 910 has already been fitted aboard two river cruise vessels built by Germany’s Neptun Werft for operator Arosa, and delivered at the end of 2008. Meanwhile, 4,000 of the new vacuum toilets will be supplied to RCCL’s new Allure of the Seas, currently building at Finland’s STX Europe, and due for delivery in 2010.

From now on, all of Evac’s cruise ship newbuilding contracts will be fitted with the new EVAC 910 system.

Phoenix Seereisen buys Albatros
Germany’s Phoenix Seereisen has bought Holland’s Cruise Club’s Albatros, following the collapse of the Dutch owner. Albatros has been on charter to Phoenix for a number of years. Phoenix is also looking to buy another Club Cruise vessel it has on charter, the Alexander von Humboldt.

V. Ships Leisure, meanwhile, will handle the management of Albatros for the ship’s new German owner. Sphere: Related Content
