AV systems for cruise ships, ferries and specialist vessels
Salt, humidity and vibration break down equipment that works reliably on land, and maritime safety regulations require type approval for a ship's GA/PA system before it can go into service. Audico has delivered AV and lighting systems for more than 40 cruise ships and specialist vessels for international shipping companies, from design through installation to long-term maintenance.
Maritime AV technology: entertainment, safety and passenger information
Maritime AV covers a wide range of systems: passenger entertainment and hospitality, crew information, safety communication and operational AV. Every system has to keep working in an environment that standard equipment is not built for.
GA/PA systems are a maritime speciality of their own. The general alarm and public address systems used on board require type approval from the relevant maritime authorities before they can be installed. That requirement does not flex, and the system has to be specified correctly from the first drawing.
Audico has delivered more than 40 cruise ship projects for international shipping companies, together with AV systems for Finnish specialist vessels. That experience spans both newbuilds and the retrofit of existing ships.
Entertainment and event systems
On a passenger ship, entertainment technology is part of what guests are paying for. Sound, video projection and LED systems have to perform without fail in high humidity and constant vibration. Audico designs onboard entertainment AV built entirely for maritime conditions.
GA/PA systems
A ship's GA/PA system is safety-critical equipment that must carry type approval and work reliably in every situation. It covers emergency announcements, general information and crew communication. Audico supplies type-approved GA/PA systems and integrates them into the vessel's wider system architecture.
Lighting solutions
Lighting on board serves several purposes at once: atmosphere in passenger spaces, corridor wayfinding, safety lighting and exterior illumination. Audico designs lighting systems that withstand maritime conditions and support the vessel's energy efficiency targets.
Digital signage and passenger information
Schedules, route information, restaurant signage and advertising all need to reach passengers across the entire vessel. A digital signage system integrates with the ship's IT infrastructure and centralises content management. Audico delivers these systems for cruise ships and passenger ferries.
AV systems for meeting and multipurpose spaces
Larger vessels often have conference rooms and multipurpose spaces used by both crew and passengers. These spaces need their own dedicated AV systems. Audico designs and delivers systems that account for maritime conditions and a ship's specific requirements.
