  • Nieuw Pinnacle Class Schip Van Holland America Line Krijgt De Naam Ms Koningsdam
    CONTACT: Marieke Koudijs PHONE: +31 20 654 1565 FAX: +31 20 623 0151 EMAIL: [email protected] Nieuw Pinnacle Class Schip van Holland America Line krijgt de naam ms Koningsdam Vorstelijk nieuw design en rijke Nederlandse historie verenigd in de naam van het nieuwe schip Rotterdam 15 september 2014 - Holland America Line heeft de nieuwe naam van het, in februari 2016 op te leveren, cruiseschip onthuld: ms Koningsdam. Waar de naam enerzijds eer doet aan de diepgewortelde Nederlandse historie van Holland America Line, weerspiegelt het ook een nieuw tijdperk met een voor Holland America Line gedurfde naam. Het nieuwe, 99.500 ton metende, in design vooruitstrevende, Pinnacle Class schip kan 2.650 passagiers accommoderen en wordt gebouwd op de Italiaanse scheepswerf Fincantieri Marghera. Sinds 1883 eindigen alle namen van de passagiersschepen van Holland America Line op het woord ‘dam’ en met het nieuwe ms Koningsdam wordt deze traditie voortgezet. Met de toevoeging van het woord koning, verwijst de naam van het nieuwe schip naar Zijne Majesteit Koning Willem-Alexander, de eerste koning van Nederland sinds meer dan honderd jaar. Holland America Line heeft een lange en trotse historie met Nederland. Alle 15 premium cruiseschepen varen onder de Nederlandse vlag, naar meer dan 400 havens wereldwijd. De rederij deelt haar rijke verleden op jaarbasis met bijna één miljoen gasten. Bovendien telt de cruisemaatschappij veel Nederlandse werknemers, waaronder het merendeel van de kapiteins en officieren. Veel van de schepen van Holland America Line zijn gedoopt door leden van de Koninklijke familie de afgelopen 75 jaar. Het meest recente schip, ms Nieuw Amsterdam is in 2010 gedoopt door toenmalig Hare Koninklijke Hoogheid Prinses Maxima der Nederlanden.

  • Scubber FAQ.Pdf
    FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT HOLLAND AMERICA LINE’S SEAWATER SCRUBBING TECHNOLOGY DEMONSTRATION PROJECT What is seawater scrubbing? Seawater scrubbing is a technology that has been used successfully for many years at land-based, oil- and coal-fired power plants to reduce emissions of sulfur dioxide and particulate matter. It is simple technology that uses the natural chemistry of seawater to neutralize the acidic emissions and capture particulates emitted from large engines. While this technology has been used ashore for many years, it is just now being considered as a potentially viable method to treat emissions from diesel engines on large, ocean-going vessels. Why is HAL investing in this sea water scrubber technology demonstration project? This innovative project is intended to demonstrate how seawater scrubbing can be used on large oceangoing vessels. We will attempt to determine whether this technology can be successfully designed, installed and operated within the tight confines of a vessel, and ultimately whether it could be retrofitted onto existing vessels, or built on-board new ships. Holland America Line is committed to environmental protection and we believe in being proactive in solving environmental issues. We are extremely proud to be working to develop this technology in the maritime industry and understand that it is important to collaborate with key partners to find practical and cost effective solutions that solve today's global environmental challenges. Where and when will this technology demonstration project take place? In April 2007, HAL will install a sea water scrubber in the stack of one of five diesel generators on the ms Zaandam when she is in drydock.

  • This Is a Daily Compilation of Media Articles Concerning the Covid-19 Impact to the Global Cruise Industry
    1 THIS IS A DAILY COMPILATION OF MEDIA ARTICLES CONCERNING THE COVID-19 IMPACT TO THE GLOBAL CRUISE INDUSTRY. Please note this isn’t a complete listing of media articles but a snapshot only. 29 March, 2020: PASSENGERS TRANSFERRED FROM VIRUS-STRICKEN CRUISE SHIP OFF PANAMA Passengers on a virus-stricken cruise liner stranded off Central America were transferred to another ship Saturday, after the US-bound vessel was given permission to pass through the Panama Canal. The Zaandam had been stuck in the Pacific Ocean since March 14 after dozens of the 1,800 people on board reported flu-like symptoms and several South American ports refused to let it dock. The ship's Dutch owner Holland America said Friday four passengers had died and two more had tested positive for COVID- 19. Panama on Saturday reversed its decision to block the Zaandam from its canal, and said it would be allowed to pass "to provide humanitarian help." Another ship, the Rotterdam, has since arrived off the coast of Panama from San Diego carrying food, medical staff, testing kits, medicine and food for the beleaguered vessel. Passengers showing no signs of the virus were ferried from the Zaandam to the Rotterdam on Saturday, a French tourist told AFP by telephone. "It's like emptying a bathtub with a teaspoon," she said. "The boats can hold about 100 people, and they are putting about half in at a time. That's why it's going slowly." The Zaandam cruise liner left Buenos Aires on March 7 and was supposed to arrive two weeks later at San Antonio, near Santiago in Chile.
