Sembcorp Marine’s wholly-owned subsidiary Sembawang Shipyard has been awarded the Favoured Customer Contract (FCC) from Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. (RCCL) to provide ship-repair, revitalisation, upgrading and related marine services for its fleet of 41 cruise ships.
"This milestone long-term maintenance and refit contract with Royal Caribbean will further boost Singapore’s status as a major Asian cruise hub and reinforce Sembawang Shipyard’s reputation as one of the world’s leading shipyards in the highly specialised segment of cruise ships repair, refurbishment and conversion,” Sembawang said in a statement.
The contract commits the repairs, revitalisation and upgrading of RCCL’s fleet of passenger ships cruising in the Singapore region to Sembawang Shipyard. It also commits to joint planning, information and experience sharing, thus leveraging complementary resources to achieve sustainable targets in the areas of HSE (Health, Safety and Environment), logistics management, quality, cost-efficiency and on- schedule deliveries, which are key performance indicators for high quality cruise vessels maintenance.
