A new cruise ship currently under construction at the Meyer Werft shipyard in Papenburg, Germany, will be supplied with a new special external lighting system.
The Dynamic Exterior Lighting concept developed by Project International Lighting Designers provides a stunning visual effect to the ship's exterior profile. It has been engineered and installed by Wärtsilä Funa. The technology is based on the use of customised LED RGBW lighting devices, all of which are individually controlled to provide colour, movement and video effects.
Genting Dream
The 335 metres long, 150,000 GRT Genting Dream is the first of two cruise vessels being built for Dream Cruises, part of Genting Hong Kong. It has been purpose-built for the Chinese and other Asian markets. It will accommodate 3400 passengers and 2000 crew, and is scheduled to be in operation from November this year. Its sister ship, the World Dream, is scheduled for delivery in late 2017.
Picture: 'This lighting concept will change the way people see a cruise ship arriving or departing the harbours of the world,' says Frank Meyer, Project Manager, Wärtsilä Funa International GmbH.
