The latest engine technology, the diesel-electric pod drive system,improved hydrodynamics as well as effective energy saving, heatrecovery or ballast water treatment guarantee an eco-logicalcruise experience at significantly reduced operating costs. Inaddition, the ship was designed according to the latest securityregulations.

STARTED TRANSATLANTIC CRUISE

The building of Norwegian Breakaway was supported by theFederal Ministry of Economics and Technology and the federalstate of Lower Saxony with an aid for innovation for a ship typedesign and the first use of innovative components.

Following the handover, Norwegian Breakaway left the port ofBremerhaven in Lower Saxony, heading for Rotterdam.Following several inaugural events, she started her transatlanticcruise from Southampton to New York. On 12 May 2013 sheheaded to Bermuda for her seven-day cruises.

SUCCESSFUL SEA TRIALS

Norwegian Breakaway,successfully completed hertechnical and nautical seatrials which took place offthe coast of Norway and Denmark. Over the course of severaldays beginning on March 25, Norwegian Breakaway underwenta series of stringent tests to assess various nautical and technicalelements, including the ship’s speed, maneuverability, and more.

In order to assess the ship’s speed, the Captain, navigationalofficers and representatives from the shipyard tested all of thevarious power outputs for the propellers. The speed was thenadjusted to various levels at each power output level.

To demonstrate the agility, the ship performed a “Williamson’sTurn,” to determine how well she would be able to turn around inthe event of an on board emergency. The “Zig Zag” test was alsoconducted to demonstrate the ship’s ability to rapidly maneuveraway from danger ahead, while still maintaining its forward course.

Norwegian Breakaway also executed a successful “TurningCircle” test that is conducted by powering the ship at full speedahead and then quickly turning on the azipods, the ship’spropulsion units, to monitor the behavior of the vessel. Whenconducting the Turning Circle test, a certain minimum diameteris required in order to prove the ship’s seaworthiness.

A “Crash Test” was also performed. This test is conducted byrunning the ship full steam ahead and then quickly reversing theazipods in order to assess the ship’s stoppage capabilities. Thestoppage is monitored in terms of time and distance andNorwegian Breakaway exceeded all of the standards set.

Finally, noise and vibration tests were performed to ensure thatthere is proper insulation between all staterooms, corridors andpublic areas. Wind levels on Norwegian Breakaway’s pool deckand The Waterfront, the ship’s outdoor dining and recreationalarea, were also assessed.

Norwegian’s nautical team reported that the conditions forNorwegian Breakaway’s sea trials were extraordinary, and thatthe ship successfully completed all of the very important testsand trials that were conducted.

Çevikli¤ini tespit etmek amac›yla “Williamson Dönüflü” testi ger-çeklefltirilerek, geminin acil bir durumda geri dönebilme kabiliye-ti denendi. Gerçeklefltirilen “Zikzak” testi ile geminin ileri yönelikseyrini muhafaza ederek tehlikeden uzaklaflmak için h›zl› manev-ra yapma kabiliyeti tespit edildi. Ayr›ca “Dönüfl Dairesi” ad› veri-len test de baflar›l› bir flekilde tamamland›. Tam h›zda seyir esna-s›nda azipodlar› devreye sokularak geminin davran›fl› gözlemlendi.Bu test esnas›nda geminin denize elverifllili¤inin gösterilmesi içingerekli belirli bir asgari çap›n söz konusu olmas› gerekiyor.

Bir “Çarpma Testi” de yap›ld›. Bu test, geminin tam h›zla seyirhalinde azipodlar›n h›zla geriye do¤ru devreye sokulmas› yoluylagerçeklefltiriyor ve geminin zaman ve mesafe aç›lar›ndan durmakabiliyeti de¤erlendiriliyor. Norwegian Breakaway tüm standarttestleri geçti.

Son olarak gürültü ve titreflim testleri gerçeklefltirilerek, tüm lükskamaralar, koridorlar ve ortak alanlar aras›nda uygun bir yal›t›molmas› temin edildi. Norwegian Breakaway’s havuz güvertesi veWaterfront ad› verilen aç›k yemek ve dinlenme alanlar›ndaki rüzgar seviyeleri de de¤erlendirildi.
