The German ship Bottsand splits its hull in two halves in the middle of the ocean to swallow spilled oil on the surface, separating the oil from the water inside a 790 cubic meter tank and then closing again. It is the only ship in the world factory-designed to split in half as part of normal operations, and the crew of six people who operate everything is civilian.
The slide was inspired by the trees of Gardens by the Bay in Singapore, integrating scenographic design into the indoor leisure area aimed at intense passenger circulation.
Other attractions include basketball courts, a skating rink, and bumper cars, providing a diverse entertainment offering throughout the journey.
