VIKAND has recently partnered with TUI Cruises to provide specialized biomedical services to 11 of the company's cruise ships.
VIKAND will be responsible for the acquisition and maintenance of the fleet's biomedical equipment, as well as investment forecasting and lifecycle management.
“I am delighted to welcome TUI Cruises as a partner,” said Peter Hult, CEO of VIKAND. “Our biomedical technicians around the world take a hands-on approach, enabling rapid global response 24/7. Our experienced team ensures reduced downtime for life-saving equipment, while improving asset management lifecycle through preventative maintenance, resulting in reduced health risks.”
TUI Cruises' decision to contract VIKAND was based on the company's ability to provide comprehensive support with a team of experienced biomedical technicians who truly understand the importance and value of functioning biomedical equipment in a remote environment, far from shore-based assistance. This gives onboard medical teams the peace of mind of knowing they can rely on a team to assist them when a vital piece of equipment breaks down.
Christian Lerche, Corporate Captain of Fleet Operations and Health at TUI Cruises, said: “We are very pleased to begin cooperation with VIKAND and take the maintenance of our biomedical equipment to a higher level.”.
VIKAND's biomedical services include device installation, monitoring, repairs, retirement monitoring, comprehensive maintenance, OEM parts supply, and much more. For TUI Cruises, there are numerous advantages to having critical medical equipment managed by VIKAND's experts.
First, it allows onboard medical staff to focus on patients, knowing their medical equipment is properly calibrated and maintained. It also gives management peace of mind, knowing that onboard health risks are reduced, compliance requirements are met, and capital expenditure needs are monitored by biomedical equipment experts. Together, this partnership fosters a safer and more cost-effective fleet.
