Installation work is usually handled by a separate subcontractor.” In late 2015, Lautex’s last shipments for the ’Harmony of the Seas’ were underway. The very last ones had been scheduled for December. ”The ceilings have some new types of decorative surfaces, but we have delivered largely similar kinds of ceilings to other ships in previous years. Lautex suspended ceilings have been certified to fire resistance classes C, B-0 and B-15, thus meeting the requirements of the official authorities,” explains Välimaa. Aboard the ship, the spaces with Lautex ceilings include the Jazz Club, Comedy Club, Diamond Club, Park West Gallery, the Cardroom, and all of the public toilet facilities. For Lautex, ship ceilings add up to more than 50 percent of the annual turnover. Currently, the bidding competition for the ceiling deliveries for the next ship Oasis-4 is ongoing. Lautex is taking part in the bidding. Contracts will be finalised during the spring of 2016. ”The shipbuilding markets abroad are on the rise,” Välimaa rejoices. n seatec 1/2016 19
