Viken Group’s new Navigator service simplifies shipbuilding process Viken Group, which comprises Tillberg Design of Sweden (TDoS), Hot Lab and Thalia Marine, has created ‘The Navigator’ service, which offers a new way to manage the entire shipbuilding process. The Navigator and the combined services of the Viken Group ensures that the investment is kept on course and the outcome is optimised. “We have been in the industry for 60 years, we have seen the same patterns repeating, and we have therefore been able to identify a number of areas where we can improve the process,” said Fredrik Johansson, co-founder of Viken Group. “We have boiled down our accumulated experience into ‘The Navigator’. It will help our clients to simplify the complex and very layered procedures up to contract, and to keep costs under strict control throughout the newbuild process. It also ensure that the client receives a superior end product, and, eventually, an improved return of investment.” CFI CURATED Pocadel’s fireproof glazed doors and partitions, which help to prevent fires spreading onboard ships, can be customised to meet the specific design requirements given by architects and interior designers. “Our customers are often surprised when they hear about the versatile decorative and glass options for fire doors and walls,” said Alex Vainio, sales manager at Pocadel, a company that specialises in designing strategic fire-resistant aluminium and glass structures for marine use. The light aluminium frames can be treated with various paints and colours, or they can be given an anodised, mirrored, gilded, stone or wood finish to match the surface materials used onboard the ship. In addition, the glass itself can be coloured, patterned or sandblasted, and customers can also choose smart glass or LED lights inside the glass. This enables ship operators to customise the products to meet their specific needs. All types of vessels are using customised fireproof doors and partitions in their interiors
