Project

Costa Smeralda

Finland

The Costa Smeralda is the largest cruise ship operated by Costa Cruises and the only one in the world powered by Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) fuel. In commissioning this ship, the Italian company was interested in developing a means of transport with the minimum environmental impact, practically eliminating particle and sulfuric acid emissions and reducing nitrogen oxide and CO2 emissions. It was the Finnish shipyard Meyer Turku that was commissioned to build the Costa Smeralda, Costa Cruises' new flagship.

To equip this 180,000-ton, 337-metre long, 42-metre wide floating city with laminated glass of the highest quality, the also prestigious Finnish company Kaune Oy relied on the combined power of EVALAM and Hornos Industriales Pujol. With over 100 years of history in the glass sector, this company was aware of the guarantees and the solvency of Evalam solutions as a world leader in laminated glass interlayers.

For this large-scale project, some 3,500 square meters of decorative glass were installed, along with a further 500 meters of glass for use in balustrades distributed throughout the ship.

Every part of the Costa Smeralda was designed down to the millimetre, with a view to showcasing Italian refinement by using high quality products throughout. That is why the choice had to be Evalam Visual, whose characteristics and proven performance surpassed those of PVB, such as its maximum transparency, resistance to fragmentation after breakage, acoustic insulation, and its ability to ensure the safety of people and property as well as its superb resistance to moisture in open-edge elements. Everything that a project of this magnitude and characteristics could ever require.
