Marine noise and vibration
Acoustics are important for the comfort on ships e.g. cruise ships, luxury yachts and ferries. During your building process, our acoustics specialists help ensure low levels of noise and vibration.
Low noise and vibrations levels and good acoustics are key comfort parameters for passengers and crew on board ships such as luxury yachts, ferries, cruise ships, and commercial vessels. Although noise and vibration requirements may differ depending on ship type, in recent years, expectations have increased significantly, especially for the luxury segment.
