SeaKing sets sail with Thomson

NORTH West marine engineering specialist SeaKing Electrical has completed a major international contract on holiday company Thomson’s flagship cruise ship Thomson Dream.

Teams from the Birkenhead company spent four weeks working on the vessel in Tenerife and Hamburg.

SeaKing Electrical delivered a complete electrical upgrade to the vessel’s beauty salon and health club areas to drive energy efficiency.

It also installed a special mood lighting scheme on the vessel’s leisure deck to improve passenger experience.

SeaKing Electrical Group business development manager Neil Mellenchip said: “We understand the demands faced by the cruise industry. Each element of our work was planned and designed to complement the schedules of other contractors working on the upgrade.

“This enabled us to plan an efficient installation programme with minimal disruption to Thomson’s luxury service.”

The Thomson Dream can hold more than 1,500 passengers and is the largest and best equipped in the Thomson fleet. It currently operates on the travel specialist’s luxurious Caribbean and Mediterranean cruise routes.
