Danish Decoration to outfit areas on Freedom of the Seas ‘New clients, new markets’ for MJM Marine Four words that perfectly sum up MJM Marine’s year ahead are ‘new clients, new markets’. The marine outfitter is about to complete its first ever newbuild project which, according to Gary Annett, the firm’s CEO, is just the start of things to come. “MJM Marine has shown its capabilities in the newbuild market through a number of smaller contracts which we have completed, so we are delighted to have secured our first major contract this year,” Annett said. “This has already brought in more enquiries from this sector, which is very exciting for us.” MJM Marine has also expanded its customer base with a number of new clients. “We’ve just completed a four-ship contract for Oceania Cruises, and we have also just refurbished Windstar Cruises’ Wind Surf,” Annett explained. “This has brought a new dynamic to our portfolio with a strong blend of long-standing clients such as Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd.,” Norwegian Cruise Line and Carnival Corporation. We are building the foundations of long-term partnerships with these clients.” TVV Marine Lighting opens new tester lab TVV Marine Lighting has opened a new tester lab to control the quality of its lighting fixtures during their production.
