Madrid, 23/06/2009. Holidays at sea. That is the passion that every day seems like and more convincing now that the summer. A few boats, that regardless of the type that are (small for approximately 500 occupants, medium for about 1. 000 people or big for more than 2. 000 passengers), are to operate in vertical transport is regards to, to perfection. Passengers must always be able to navigate and transported by different levels of how fast, safe and comfortable boat, explains Francisco Pardeiro, director of major accounts and works new KONE Spain.
A need that as added Janne Sorsa, Manager of People Flow of KONEm becomes more imperative now that begins the summer and large cruise ships operated as if they were big hotels. The use of these elevators is even more intensive that in other times and nothing it can fail in situations of intense traffic, such as when passengers leave the ship for hiking or to dinner, or when all go at once to cover where the elevators are that answer them. Passengers cannot expect queues and times of opening and closing operation of escalators or doors always have to be excellent. But, how you manage to avoid the jams?. According to said Alejandro Garcia, head of sales and product at KONE Marine all starts from the design of the ship. It is here when you have to determine the best options for transport and what are the places in which are in locating the elevators all this will then depend on the service offered. An example of this is the Oasis of the Seas, the cruise ship bigger and extraordinary world that KONE is building. It is 40% larger than the earlier the world’s largest cruise ship. It has 16 floors and houses up to 5400 passengers in its 2700 cabins, a number of passengers until now unthinkable, adds Garcia.
