Resurfacing of large-scale synthetic deck coverings for a cruise vessel.
For the Marella Discovery, Herculan and ARF carried out a large-scale resurfacing of synthetic deck coverings using the Eco Teak system. The project focused on restoring performance, appearance and durability within an intensively used cruise vessel environment.

Challenge & Context
The Marella Discovery underwent a refit in which existing deck surfaces needed to be renewed without compromising functionality or appearance. On a cruise vessel, decks are exposed to intensive daily use by passengers and crew, combined with changing weather conditions.
The challenge was to deliver a consistent and durable solution across a large surface area of 2,840 m² within the constraints of a drydock schedule. The solution had to restore technical performance while also contributing to a refreshed and high-quality appearance.
