Prysmian Cables & Systems, Milan, Italy, supplied approximately 3,100 miles of energy and telecommunications shipboard cables for the largest cruise ship in history, the Oasis of the Seas. The ocean liner was built by STX Europe for Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd., and was unveiled November 20 in Florida. STX Europe also awarded Prysmian a contract for all of the marine cables for the Oasis of the Seas’ sister ship, Allure of the Seas, owned and operated by Royal Caribbean. The new agreement, which represents the second step of the Genesis Cruise Vessel project, covers the supply of power and telecommunication cables for a total value of approximately $6.7 million. Most of the supplied cables are manufactured at Prysmian’s Pikkala facility in Finland, but also in Italy and Germany.
