Almaco’s complete food handling solutions for galleys, provision stores and refrigeration machinery will be featured onboard the two new ships[ds_preview] for Star Cruises, which will be built at Meyer Werft and are scheduled for delivery during fall of 2016 and 2017 respectively.
The scope of work for the two new ships includes design, supply and installation of all catering-related equipment in the galleys, bars, buffets, pantries, provision stores and refrigeration machinery. Additionally, Almaco’s delivery includes the latest energy-saving and monitoring technology through ICM, or Integrated Catering Management system. This system incorporates the galley energy savings from GEM 2.0, the control and monitoring capabilities for refrigerated equipment from REM, as well as data retrieval from ovens and dishwashers to allow for comprehensive management of all aspects related to the food handling areas.
The galleys will be equipped with Almaco GEM 2.0 (Galley Energy Management). According to the company this system enables ship owners to reduce the power consumption of the cooking equipment in the galley areas drastically. The newbuilds will also feature the so called Almaco REM (Refrigeration Equipment Monitoring) system that controls and monitors the refrigeration plants, provision stores and the galley refrigerators with one single system. This enables a full overview of the hundreds of cold consumers of the vessel.
