Cruise & Ferry Review - Autumn/Winter 2022

1 2 3 That’s where Magicman comes in. Having won Sustainable Product of the Year in 2020 at the Cruise Ship Interiors Awards, we continue to push the boat out and bring exceptional standards to our in-situ repairs. We can repair damage while the ship is in dry dock to ensure minimal waste is created and keep our ecological footprint low. With a history stretching over 30 years, Magicman has largely created and led the way in on-site damage rectification across the construction, insurance and marine markets. Our research and development department seek out, test and introduce new sustainable initiatives for the benefit of all. Partnership is key to our success, working closely with clients and understanding their needs to provide solutions that fit in real and not ideological terms. Regional and international sourcing means less stock being shipped long distances by road or air. We have also developed new technology to enable the restoration of clarity and preservation of glass, which reduces the amount of fresh water needed to wash it down. These are just a couple of the many ways in which Magicman has added further sustainable benefits to the range of core services it provides. Passengers want to make responsible choices, and they expect the same from cruise lines. At the same time, they still want a premium experience. With improved technology, there doesn’t have to be a choice between delivering the best passenger experience, saving money or the environment. Operators can even go above and beyond by offering services like PressReader to give passengers a little piece of home through premium newspapers and magazines. Not to mention, it will save thousands on physical newspapers and magazines and shrink their ecological footprint.
