Overview
Objectives:
The MAESTRI project aimed to overcome the existing design and technological obstacles for the construction of cruise ships with a higher number of passenger cabins with the same tonnage of the ship. MAESTRI aimed to develop new modular self-supporting housing solutions, grafted onto an innovative ship structure, which allows the systematic reduction of the inter-decks height, thus allowing the addition of a cabin deck (about 250 cabins or 500 beds) for the same-sized vessel.
Methodology:
The project identified and developed design and construction innovations to apply to the next ships, following a technical-economic feasibility analysis.
