Asuka II refit project
Sembcorp Marine Repairs & Upgrades will also spearhead the makeover of ASUKA II – Japan’s largest cruise ship – for NYK Cruises Co. Ltd. To be executed over 45 days at the Admiralty Yard from January 2020, the project includes installing a sulphur oxide (SOx) scrubber unit on the vessel to comply with new environmental regulations effective next year.

Sembcorp Marine Head of Repairs & Upgrades Mr Alvin Gan said: “As Asia’s top solutions provider for cruise ship repairs and upgrades, we are attracting major projects from new customers such as NYK Cruises. Refitting their showpiece Asuka II cruise ship is an extensive makeover within a short time frame. We are confident of completing the work on time and within budget.”
