Hermann’s delivered an embarkation portal solution for NIT Oy. The same solution was implemented across all three Icon class cruise vessels, ensuring consistency and high-quality execution throughout the fleet.

Scalable Solution Through Modular Thinking

The embarkation portal was developed using a modular approach, enabling efficient production, repeatability, and consistent quality across multiple vessels.

This modular thinking allowed the solution to be replicated seamlessly while maintaining precision, durability, and a high-end finish required in cruise ship environments.

Engineering and Manufacturing in One Process

Hermann’s scope included both engineering and production of the embarkation portal. By combining these phases, the solution was optimized for manufacturability and smooth project execution.

The integrated approach ensured that each unit met the same high standards across all three vessels.

The refit project of Norwegian Cruise Line’s Epic in Marseille required a fast and high-quality solution for renewing the vessel’s wet areas. Hermann’s met this need by delivering pre-designed wet units ready for installation on board. The modules were manufactured in Raisio and shipped in flatpack form directly to the site.

Speed, quality, and efficiency to meet the refit schedule

This was a demanding project with a tight schedule, where smooth installation and high manufacturing quality were key. Hermann’s solution relied on precise pre-engineering and thorough preparation, enabling quick and error-free installation on board without extra adjustments or delays.

Production in Raisio – precise design enabled smooth installation in Marseille

All wet units were manufactured at Hermann’s own production facility in Raisio. Accurate 3D design ensured the modules were built to exact measurements, eliminating the need for adjustments on site. One module was pre-assembled at the factory to verify quality and structural functionality. After this, all units were packed in flatback form and delivered to Marseille, where they were assembled efficiently according to the plans.
