ALMACO was awarded the turnkey contract to modernise the galley areas during the ship’s dry dock in Singapore, which got underway in January.

Scope of work

The scope of work included adding flight-type and rack-type dishwashers in the deck nine lido pot wash area, as well as replacing various equipment across the vessel. 

To access the pot washing area a hole needed to be cut in the bulkhead, which meant removal and replacement of the dining room interior that was located on the other side of the bulkhead.

Smooth and according to plan

Herve Touzard, deputy president of the lifecycle division at ALMACO, said, ‘The collaboration between Holland America Line and ALMACO made this project a success. 

‘The project went smoothly and according to plan; we at ALMACO would be happy to continue the collaboration and have future projects with Holland America Line.’

The work was completed in February.
