Seatrium and Carnival Corporation have renewed their cruise ship maintenance agreement until 2029, continuing a strategic collaboration that dates back to 2010. The new contract will allow the Singapore-based shipbuilding group to continue carrying out repair, maintenance, and modernization work on ships belonging to the eight cruise lines that make up Carnival Corporation's portfolio.
The agreement stipulates that various ships will arrive at Seatrium's shipyards over the next few years for regulatory inspections, maintenance, and technical upgrades. The companies included are AIDA Cruises, Carnival Cruise Line, Costa Cruises, Cunard, Holland America Line, Princess Cruises, P&O Cruises, and Seabourn.
The first planned renovation work will take place during the last quarter of 2026. The Royal Princess and Carnival Luminosa, while the Seabourn Encore will follow in November. These interventions will be complemented by further repairs and work on Carnival Corporation ships between 2027 and 2029.
The agreement, called the Favored Customer Contract (FCC), allows Carnival Corporation to secure ship repair dates in advance. Seatrium, in turn, can better plan facility occupancy and optimize available resources. The company currently has 22 partners in this program, including cruise ship operators and owners, LNG carriers, offshore, military ships, and power generation vessels.
Vera Lannek, Vice President of Strategic Sourcing and Machinery Lifecycle Management at Carnival Corporation, highlighted Seatrium's technical expertise, reliability, and commitment to quality and safety. She also emphasized the importance of working with partners capable of meeting industry demands, managing complex projects, and adhering to deadlines. She expressed her desire to maintain this collaboration to further enhance the operations of the group's brands and ships worldwide.
Seatrium is one of Asia's leading providers of cruise ship repair and modernization services. Since 1978, the company has worked on more than 442 such ships, a track record that also contributes to strengthening Singapore's role as an international hub for the cruise industry.
