In October 2023, ALMACO successfully delivered a project for the newbuild Carnival Jubilee at Meyer Werft in Papenburg. The catering project consisted of a full visual turnkey delivery of all the ship’s provision stores. Additionally, ALMACO supported the yard with manpower for work consisting of fixed furniture installation in over 1000 cabins. This second project was delivered in December 2023.
Meyer Werft and Carnival Cruise Line chose ALMACO to plan, design, build, supply and commission all the provision areas onboard Carnival Jubilee. Frédéric Vasseur, President of the Catering division, emphasized the significance of high-quality provision stores for Carnival Jubilee, stating, “The provision stores comply with the strictest USPH sanitation and safety requirements. The system is also highly efficient and has a patented door solution that has been developed together with a preferred partner of ALMACO.”
In May, 2023, ALMACO's team of 26 skilled carpenters and electricians was contracted by the Meyer to support the yard with catch-up work in the accommodation areas. The team mobilized boarded the ship in only 2 weeks and achieved an installation speed of 15 cabins per day. The total amount of cabins installed by ALMACO is over 1000. The project later extended beyond furniture to include air supply connections, additional electrical works, ceiling enhancements, and cabin finishings. With a workforce of at most 55 individuals, including a site manager and an electrical supervisor, ALMACO ensured the project's smooth execution.
Jean-Pierre Lepage, VP of Accommodation Modernizations at ALMACO, notes, "Our team's commitment allowed us to meet our targets. The completion of this project underscores ALMACO's dedication to delivering quality solutions and agility to mobilize a large site team in a very short time.”
