SembMarine completes 12 cruise ship upgrading projects in 2015

This is the most number of cruise ship repairs on record.

SembMarine has been busy with cruise ship refit and refurbishment works this year, with the shipbuilder completing 12 such projects in the past eleven months.

It has recently completed the upgrading of the Pacific Eden, formerly known as Statendam, and the Pacific Aria, formerly known as Ryndam, at its Admiralty Yard.

The concurrent drydocking of these two cruise vessels at the same shipyard was a first for its Australian operator P&O Cruises, which is part of the Carnival Corporation and a
long-term partner of Sembcorp Marine. 

With the sailaway of the Pacific Aria last week, Sembcorp Marine has set a record of 12 cruise ships repaired, upgraded and refurbished in a single year. Besides P&O Cruises
(Australia), the customers for these projects were Carnival Cruise Line, Holland America Line, Princess Cruises, Star Cruises and SkySea Cruise Line.
