The impressive Ciudad de Valencia ferry has a light, resistant and high-performance ceramic heart. A big heart: 2,700 square metres of surfaces covered by Cotto d’Este, including thin, large-format porcelain stoneware ceramic slabs. These light, weather-resistant, very hygienic slabs guarantee the highest quality and performance standards for the shipping industry, which has strict and essential requirements.
Ciudad de Valencia, which recently travelled along the Tartaro-Canalbianco-Po di Levante river to the delight of spectators, is a real technological gem: built in the largest private shipyard in Italy, Cantieri Navali Visentin, it is one of the most cutting-edge boats of its type. It was therefore only natural that when it came to the choice of ceramic surfaces, the ferry’s engineers selected a partner that could guarantee exceptional performance and total safety in terms of antibacterial protection.
The project’s standout feature is the large Kerlite slabs, an extraordinary addition to any architectural and interior design project, which in this case are perfectly suited to the shipping industry since they are ultra-thin, extremely light surfaces that offer excellent performance and uncompromising aesthetic quality. Thanks to the fibreglass reinforcement, they guarantee extra resistance, while the exclusive Protect® technology transforms them into effective antibacterial shields for constantly protected spaces.
