Re-equipment of passenger ships

Well-timed repair and re-equipment of ships is the key to a successful business in sea and river passenger transportation.

What can a passenger ship be converted to?

Re-equipment of a ship does not always imply its modernization. In particular, a ship designed to carry passengers can easily be converted into another type of vessel. Most often, old boats and yachts are turned into small floating restaurants. To achieve this, the new erections are installed, and a second-tier is added, as well as a kitchen and premises for staff are equipped. In addition, the old ship can be converted into a floating hotel.

Also, crafts are often converted from passenger’s vessels to small cargo or fishing ones. For this, the passenger part is shortened, and special equipment for fishing, storage, and processing of fish is installed on the vacant space. If a small vessel is in poor condition and is no longer suitable for further operation, it can be turned into a barge.
