Services
We install and refurbish cabins, corridors and public areas on cruise ships – walls, ceilings, floors, wet units and furniture – in newbuild yards, in dry dock or on board while the ship is in service.
Wall & ceiling panels
We install and renew wall and ceiling systems in cabins, corridors and public areas: marine panel systems, gypsum works, suspended and lighting ceilings, and the cut-outs and service hatches that the other trades need.
- Marine wall and ceiling panel systems
- Gypsum works and painting
- Public-area ceilings and features
- Dismantling and reinstallation during refits
Floors & wet units
From the floating floor to the final covering: we build floating floors, lay carpet, vinyl, wood and stone, tile wet areas and install and repair prefabricated wet units, including ADA-compliant bathrooms.
- Floating floors
- All types of floor coverings
- Ceramic tiling
- Wet units and ADA-compliant bathrooms
- Plumbing connections
Joinery & furniture
Our carpenters and joiners install cabin and public-area furniture, built-in units, bars and counters, and repair furniture and doors on board so that areas can stay open to guests.
- Cabin and public-area furniture
- Bars, counters and built-in units
- Furniture and door repairs on board
- Stainless-steel and galley fittings
Upholstery
We re-upholster chairs, sofas and banquettes in restaurants, lounges and theatres, on board during the voyage or in a workshop ashore, in batches that keep the venue open.
- Chairs, sofas and banquettes
- Work on board or ashore
- Batches planned around the venue
Insulation & draft stops
Behind every finished area there is insulation and fire protection. We install thermal and acoustic insulation and draft stops to the drawings and class requirements before the panels go up.
- Thermal insulation
- Acoustic insulation
- Draft stops
- Insulation of exhaust and pipe systems
Refits in service
Much of a refurbishment can be done while passengers are on board: corridor by corridor, at night, to the cruise line’s rules. What has to wait for dry dock is prepared in advance, so the dock days go to the work only a dock allows.
- Night and section-by-section work
- One foreman for all trades in the area
- Dry-dock work prepared in advance
- Daily progress reports to the ship
Where we work
Our teams work for shipyards, outfitting contractors and cruise lines on:
- Cruise ship newbuilds
- Cruise ship refits
- River cruise ships
- Ferries and coastal ships
- Yachts
Frequently asked questions
Which trades do you bring?
Interior installers, carpenters and joiners, flooring specialists, ceramic tilers, plumbers, painters, insulators, upholsterers and cable pullers – under one foreman for the whole area.

Yes. We work corridor by corridor, at night where needed and to the cruise line’s rules for noise, dust and access. What has to wait for dry dock is prepared in advance.

Within two working days of receiving the ship, the areas, the work period and, if available, the drawings. You get a team, a schedule and a price.
Do you supply the materials?
We can work with the materials supplied by the yard or the cruise line, or source them ourselves to the approved specification. We agree this in the proposal.
