Sance-Sandelin Consulting and Engineering in Finland says it has been awarded a contract concerning the refit project of Carnival Destiny. Destiny will be refit to Sunshine and Sance participates to the project by providing engineering support for technical interior design. Contract participants are Sance and Kaefer Ltd and the contract concerns spa, gym and serenity outside area.
"We started our engineering work concerning this Destiny project in the beginning of this month and we are delighted to continue our partnership with Kaefer Ltd. The previous cooperation project with Kaefer was a development project concerning the construction sector (mobile apartment module) and now we will continue our cooperation relationship on marine sector," says Sance’s CEO, Mr. Kalle Sandelin.
In addition to this engineering contract, Sance is having other projects on marine, offshore and construction sectors at the moment. But this doesn’t prevent Sance to have eyes on the future and be prepared for possible challenges.
"Although the workload of our company is currently very good, it is always important to have a vision for the future and develop issues. Because of this, among other things, we have started our company’s ISO 9001 certificate process, which will open new doors for the client side. We have used our own quality management system, which clients have found very useful for monitoring the project phases and the quality. But because in some cases the only thing which has been the obstacle for starting cooperation with bigger companies is not having this ISO 9001 certificate, we decided to start this process", describes Mr. Tommi Sormunen, Sance’s Quality Manager.
Carnival Destiny refit will be carried out at Italian Fincantieri shipyard. The refit project is planned to accomplish in 49 days. The original Carnival Destiny was built in Italy and delivered in 1996. At that time this ship was the largest cruise liner in the world by its 101,353 gross tons size.
