53 “True turnkey outfitting requires control over the supply chain, from the initial rendering to the final onboard weld. Decon has built its reputation on this exact synergy, combining integrated design, in-house manufacturing and specialised installation crews. This unified model was on full display during the rapid three-month refurbishment of Celestyal Cruises’ Celestyal Discovery, where Decon transformed 4,000 square metres of public venues, spanning dining, entertainment and wellness zones. Leveraging experience from outfitting Royal Caribbean International’s Oasis-class, MSC Cruises’ World-class, Celebrity Cruises’ Celebrity Edge Series and the newly christened Orient Express Corinthian, Decon applies advanced planning, certified fire-rated materials, and factory-produced custom joinery to ensure efficient execution under demanding timelines. This enables Decon to support shipowners with reliable, high-quality refurbishment solutions across complex passenger vessel projects.” “As refurbishment complexity scales, GMHI Europe tackles the challenge through elite personnel and collaborative problem-solving. We bridge the gap between design and execution by embedding our teams alongside client representatives to develop adaptive installation strategies. Our focus is on mitigating technical bottlenecks before they delay operations. By combining on-site decision-making with rigorous adherence to safety and class standards, we optimise workflows and eliminate unnecessary rework. This proactive approach ensures that even the most sophisticated outfitting projects remain cost-controlled, sustainable and delivered within the narrowest windows of vessel availability.” “Modern interior outfitting is increasingly defined at the planning stage, where scope definition, trade coordination and logistics sequencing are essential to delivering refurbishment within limited maintenance and dry dock windows. Passenger ship refurbishment programmes are becoming more complex due to compressed maintenance windows, operational pressure and sustainability requirements. Magicman supports operators through a repair-first outfitting model, delivered by highly experienced master technicians, restoring stone, flooring, joinery and sanitary surfaces in-situ to reduce replacement, downtime and waste. This is enabled by Reflex 360 for Marine, coordinating planning, logistics and resource scheduling to support refurbishment programmes and extend asset life.” Mark Henderson CEO, Magicman Florentina Mitroi Business Manager, GMHI Europe Theodoros Kioukas CEO, Decon
