Refurbishment projects have been impacted by the world-wide pressures on availability of raw materials, and distribution constraints, with cruise owners frustrated by lack of product available and struggling to execute projects on time. This session aims to raise awareness of the challenges facing stakeholders today in large refurbishment projects and the global project pinch points all stakeholders are currently facing.

There are so many possibilities for suppliers to gain and promote green credentials, but with credentials covering different criteria and for both suppliers and buyer, it can be confusing and overwhelming to make an informed decision. This session seeks to cut through the noise and establish how green certifications can best be used and understood. Capt. Antonio Prestigiacomo, Business Development Director, Head of Maritime Academy, Region Americas, DNV Trond Sigurdsen Chairman YSA Design
The lifespan of a cruise interiors space is currently determined by the vessel’s drydock program. Designing to Last looks beyond these parameters and asks – what if cruise interiors were designed to last beyond the next refurbishment window? This sustainability keynote session will explore sustainable leadership, improvements and diversity of materials and technology and the broader considerations to consider when designing for longevity.
