Advanced Native 4K Projector Technology Hits the High Seas, As Panasonic Collaborates with Princess Cruises to Deliver Its First Immersive Entertainment Experience Advanced Native 4K Projector Technology Hits the High Seas, as Panasonic Collaborates with Princess Cruises to Deliver Its First Immersive Entertainment Experience Announcement made at the 2020 Consumer Electronics Show LAS VEGAS (January 6, 2020) – Gen Z and millennial travelers seek unique experiences and the tech- powered personalization they enjoy at home when they travel, according to the latest industry research. Princess Cruises and Panasonic are teaming up to deliver just that and much more with the first immersive entertainment experience in the Princess Cruises fleet. Sky Princess is the first cruise ship outfitted with Panasonic’s new PT-RQ50KU 3-Chip DLP® SOLID SHINE Laser Projector. It will be used for 5-SKIES — the most visually advanced production show in the Princess Cruises fleet. As part of this thrilling new show, Princess Cruises used Panasonic’s new 50,000 lumens 4K laser projector, featuring bright, crisp, vivid colors, superior resolution and dynamic contrast for an exciting, captivating and memorable entertainment experience. The 5-SKIES production show made its debut on Sky Princess in December 2019, and later will also be featured on Enchanted Princess in 2020. https://youtu.be/-AveSJTECpE Since weight and space are essential considerations, Princess chose the world’s lightest, most compact native 4K projector¹ in the 50,000lm class. Small but mighty, this latest Panasonic projection state-of- the-art technology enables Princess Cruises to develop, create and offer new forms of entertainment that will enhance its cruise line’s onboard guest experience, previously accessible only at the most advanced entertainment venues in the world. “We knew right away the new Panasonic PT-RQ50KU projector, the most advanced native 4k projection technology available, would help us push the boundaries of theatrical design so that 5-SKIES would wow our guests night after night,” said Denise Saviss, Princess Cruises vice president of entertainment experiences. The Panasonic PT-RQ50KU laser projector combines native 4K resolution at 50,000 lumens of brightness with separate red and blue SOLID SHINE laser-phosphor technology to deliver pure and powerful visuals. It provides significant workflow advantages with simplified transportation, quick and flexible installation and adjustment while its vibrant color capabilities and reliable operation delivers up to 20,000 hours of virtually maintenance-free projection. “We are very excited to work with customers like Princess Cruises who have ambitious visions of creating one-of-a-kind exciting entertainment experiences,” said John Baisley, Senior Vice President of Professional Imaging & Visual Systems, Panasonic System Solutions of North America. “The PT-RQ50KU is the ideal laser projection technology for cruise ships because it offers powerful visuals and advantages that maximize every aspect of a ship’s space and weight.” 1: For laser-phosphor projectors in the single-body 50,000-lumens-class or higher, as of June 2019.

  • Varata a Monfalcone La “Discovery Princess”
    27 Settembre 2021 - Livorno: Guardia Costiera “ferma” nave in porto LIVORNO – La Guardia Costiera ha disposto il “fermo” di una nave nel porto labronico. Nel quadro del più ampio progetto di tutela della vita umana in mare e dell’ambiente marino e costiero che vede fortemente impegnato il Corpo delle Capitanerie di Porto, nella giornata di ieri gli uomini della Guardia Costiera di Livorno – Nucleo Port State Control, hanno emanato il provvedimento di “fermo” nei confronti della nave da carico generale denominata “Saffet Aga”, ai sensi della Direttiva 2009/16 dell’Unione europea, recepita con il D.Lgs 53 del 2011. https://www.messaggeromarittimo.it/tag/nave/ | 27 Settembre 2021 - 27 Settembre 2021 - Il provvedimento è stato adottato al termine di una dettagliata ispezione dell’unità che, in base alle vigenti normative internazionali in materia di sicurezza della navigazione, è risultata essere in condizioni “sub-standard”. In particolare, sono emerse gravi carenze in materia di prevenzione degli incendi a bordo, in materia di prevenzione dell’inquinamento marino da idrocarburi, nonché in materia di preparazione e risposta alle emergenze da parte dell’equipaggio. Al momento l’unità risulta ancora ferma in porto, in attesa che vengano ripristinati gli standard minimi per poter essere nuovamente autorizzata a navigare. L’unità dovrà poi essere sottoposta a specifici controlli da parte degli ispettori dell’Ente Tecnico “Bureau Veritas”, responsabile del rilascio della certificazione di sicurezza per conto della bandiera Barbados. Giova ricordare che il Nucleo PSC della Capitaneria di Porto di Porto di Livorno, guidata dal contrammiraglio Gaetano Angora ha da sempre profuso notevoli sforzi nella lotta al fenomeno delle “navi sub-standard” che, in difformità alle convenzioni internazionali, navigano con gravissimo rischio per la sicurezza della navigazione e dell’ambiente marino nonché per la sicurezza e per le condizioni di vita delle persone che sulle navi vivono e lavorano.

  • Cruise Ship Locations 16 May 2021
    CRUISE SHIP LOCATIONS 16 MAY 2021 Compiled by Mike Pryce, Wellington NZ (Information believed correct at this date. Compiled from various sources and internet AIS, especially www.cruisemapper.com. Excludes ferries and cruise ferries. Many cruise ships have been in “warm” lay-up, when they have periodically moved from their berths or anchorages and gone for short voyages locally to give their engines and equipment “a run”, and including production of freshwater, before returning to lay-up. Ships at anchor periodically need to berth to take onboard fuel, food, provisions and other supplies. Some inter-ship crew transfers at sea are being made, outside port limits. With the resumption of “normal” cruising looking very uncertain in many countries in the near future, more cruise ships are likely to move to “cold” lay-up until the situation becomes clearer, whilst others go into shipyards for overhauls and surveys. Many cruise ships have been in lay-up for over a year, as the initial “pause” has been continually extended due to more Covid-19 outbreaks, and many financial assumptions made on the expectation of an initial two-months lockdown have needed reviewing. This has resulted in many recent sales of older ships, and limited cruising in the Mediterranean and Europe, where these areas are being affected by sporadic outbreaks in Covid-19 infections. The largest concentration of laid-up cruise ships is on the Bahamas Banks (east of Miami and south of Freeport) A large number of cruise ships are anchored off the south coast of England, west of Southampton. Another large group are anchored in the South China Sea, NE of Singapore.
