technical equipment for the The pools is usually stored in a special engineering room on the lower deck. The hardware is completely pre- assembled on a steel framework at the E & S aqua plant and transported as a single unit to the Meyer dockyard in Papenburg. The steel framework has the size of a small container. At the dockyard, a crane lifts the unit with the technical equipment onto the ship, where it is welded to the hull and connected.
