On a cruise ship, the galley is one of the largest unseen areas on board, however it is a strategic area that must be designed in every detail to be able to support a non-stop working system and an extensive staff performing a large quantity of tasks.
Akuarena carry-out for you every taylor-made aspect, from single activities to complex projects, according to your instructions and criteria, and constantly report on progresses and costs.

DESIGN & ENGINEERING, STEP BY STEP :
Food flow concepts and lay-outs.
You have a new project and empty spaces for food handling areas: we design your project to optimize flow of provisions, flow of food, flow of plates and pots, flow of guests and flow of crew.
3D renderings.
Looking at 3D renderings helps to understand and validate the ergonomics of the working spaces. It is a great integration for architectural design.
Basic design 2D,
with budgets and specifications
for equipments and visual turn-key.
For a correct budget and project definition we prepare lists of food handling equipment and items, list of materials, descriptions of equipment and turn-key activities as well as listing of installation requirements.
Detailed engineering
2D, 3D, MEP, BIM modeling.
Once the concept is laid-out and the feasibility is confirmed, we can proceed with the detailed development of each area, the equipment and the connected systems, giving all necessary input data for sizing and routing pipes, cables, refrigeration fluids and gases, air exhaust.
Project interfaces and coordination
with detailed design follow-up.
We review each detail with concerned parties: architects, interior outfitters, different departments at shipyards. Face-to-face meetings, web meetings and files exchange and checks, all carefully scheduled, reported for a detailed follow-up.
Front of House interface
and follow-up.
Architects’ creativeness enhances guests experience. Perfect details are the result of close exchange and several technical meetings between all parties involved in the projects, creating the best possible combination of shapes and materials.
Ship inspection
and as-built drawings.
When a revamp of equipment or re-modeling of a catering area is needed, then we carry-out detailed measurements on board and report on the status and conditions of equipment, including suggested maintenance or replacement actions.
Tender documentation.
A professional package of documents for food service areas is essential for a fair and correct bidding process, both for a new ship or a modernization project. We prepare the full package, including drawings and specifications, and support in evaluating the technical alternatives and proposals.
