Pressure solutions for Icon Class cruise ships

Royal Caribbean International’s Icon Class cruise ships, including Icon of the Seas and Star of the Seas, are among the largest cruise ships in the world. With vessels of this scale, exterior cleaning and maintenance require reliable systems that can support demanding daily operations in a marine environment.

Salt, moisture and other impurities accumulate quickly on exposed surfaces at sea. Regular washing is therefore an important part of both appearance and long-term maintenance. For vessels operating in demanding conditions, the washing system must be dependable, serviceable and suitable for continuous professional use.

Royal Caribbean International needed durable high-pressure water pumping units for its vessels. The systems had to support efficient washing operations and be serviceable as part of the vessel’s normal maintenance routines. As a critical part of the washing system, the pumping unit plays an important role in ensuring smooth and safe day-to-day work.

After a thorough selection process, Finfinet was chosen as the supplier. The solution was tailored to the customer’s operational needs, with attention to reliability, long service life and ease of maintenance.

Finfinet also carries out modernisations of washing systems for older vessels. Being involved in the construction of some of the most advanced cruise ships built by the Finnish shipbuilding industry has been an important milestone for the company.
