Blu Marine is delighted to be working with ferry operator Wightlink, on the refurbishment of their flagship, St Clare.
The ferry, which sails on the Portsmouth to Fishbourne route, is undergoing the refurbishment during May. Blu Marine has been responsible for the design as well as the manufacturing and installation works and the end result will mean spacious and luxurious accommodation on deck 5 with comfortable new chairs and sofas with great views. Lighting will also be improved to save energy and create a relaxing environment and there will be better access to the outside decks for disabled customers who use wheelchairs. An onboard Business Centre will include tables where commuters and other business people can work easily, equipped with charging points for mobile phones and laptops. There will also be more charging points near the popular Costa coffee shop.
Ross Welham, Blu Marine’s Design Director, said: “We are excited to be working with Wightlink on creating a luxurious modern environment and delivering this project from initial design concepts right through to installation. The ship will be cosy on chilly winter crossings but fresh for hot summer days, and will offer unrivalled views of the Solent from every seat.”
A 15 man team will complete the works in less than two weeks whilst the ship is in service.
