CRUISE SHIPPING REVIEW

James P. Colie & Assoc. Performs "Celebrity" Work up to four option ships, and would represent the largest U.S. cruise ships ever built. The endeavor has the proverbial leg up on previous "U.S. build" projects from the fact that it is the result of the U.S.-Flag Cruise Ship

Pilot Project Statute passed by Congress more than a year ago. Final contracts for the first pair of 1,900-passenger, $400-million ships is expected by April, with the first ship entering service in late 2002.

While many in the tight-knit cruise ship building family may question the ability of an inexperienced cruise ship builder to enter the fray profitably, Ingalls is uniquely positioned in its level of experience and facilities. Ingalls president Jerry St. Pe points to Ingall's "unique experience in designing and building sophisticated, highly detailed vessels." He also said that this, combined with the fact that

Ingalls built the last two U.S. produced cruise ships, makes the Pascagoula yard ideally suit- ed to produce AMCVs cruise ships.

The project also has the services of industry stalwart Jon Rusten, who sits as president of

Ocean Development Co., a wholly owned AMCV subsidiary that will manage the shipyard con- struction.

Rusten most recently served as the director of development and newbuildings for Disney

Cruise Lines, where he and the Disney team effectively launched a new cruise company with two high quality ships from Italy's Fincantieri.

James P. Colie & Associates, a specialist in turnkey marine interior outfitting, has quite a number of significant refurbishments in its portfolio, including recent work on Celebrity

Cruises' Horizon. The Horizon job entailed major interior renovation to almost 2,000 sq. m. of public spaces on four decks. The areas were outfitted with all new finishes and mate- rials, and some will require a complete demoli- tion and rebuild. The Martini bar interior was outfitted with a custom built bar and fine dec- orative items including fiber optics glass and custom hand painted bar tops. In the Rendez- vous Lounge, craftsmen installed a custom made bandstand and dance floor as part of the room's total refit. Michael's Club, a cigar bar, was outfitted with cherry woodwork and a dec- orative faux fireplace. Most areas were designed by Patricia Hayes & Associates, Inc..

The Horizon Spa was designed by Syntax

Group.

James P. Colie & Assoc. workers expanded and refurbished the cafe on the Lido Deck and added a children's center to the deck above.

The structural modifications of the cafe expanded its size to 10,000 sq. ft., and the seat- ing capacity to approximately 400. The new interiors were designed and configured by

Teresa Anderson of Princess Cruises and

Giacomo Mortola of GEM. The ship was dry- docked at Cascade General in Portland, Ore. for the work.
