The Instalco company, Mesab has been engaged by Royal Caribbean Group and Carnival Corporation & PLC for comprehensive technical installations on five cruise ships. At the same time, other installation projects that had been put on hold during the pandemic will be resumed. The work involves installation of flue gas treatment plants on the Queen Victoria, Celebrity Equinox and Celebrity Reflection vessels, along with comprehensive technical updates on the Celebrity Eclips and Celebrity Solstice vessels.

The total order value is approximately SEK 200 million. Mesab will deliver an overall solution for each of the vessels, which includes a feasibility study, design and installation of complete systems. Work is already underway and expected to be completed during the second quarter of 2022. Most of the installation work will be done during normal operations when ships are in the Caribbean, along the west coast of the USA, in France and the UK.

The project on the Queen Victoria is being carried out in collaboration with two other Instalco companies. HP Welding is responsible for delivery of hull bushings in high-grade steel and NCE (Nordpipe Composite Engineering) is responsible for delivery of the fibreglass reinforced plastic (GAP) components.
