Høglund successfully completes complex retrofit project of Color Fantasy

Høglund has successfully delivered an all-inclusive retrofit of Color Fantasy, the world's largest cruise ship with a car deck (alongside its sister, Color Magic).

This project, carried out between January 8 and 30 at Fayard in Denmark, involved 25 Høglund experts at various stages, collaborating closely with the Polish partner Remontowa, who provided 12 electricians for cabling support.

The 22-day retrofit, a complex turnkey operation conducted while the vessel was dry-docked, included Høglund's Alarm & Monitoring System, Automation & Control System, Power Management System (PMS), and Ship Performance Monitor (SPM), aiming to enhance the operational efficiency and safety of Color Fantasy.

Morten Madsen, Høglund Project Manager, said:

"This was a big project, one of the biggest we ever had. With 56 IO stations, it required extensive engineering, software development, planning, and documentation. I am proud of the team effort and the successful collaboration with Color Line, our partner Remontowa and especially the crew."

Ståle Korsmo, Electrical Superintendent of Color Line Marine, expressed satisfaction with the partnership, stating:

"We are very happy with the outstanding work accomplished by Høglund. Høglund's expertise has significantly contributed to the ship's modernization."

Color Fantasy, with a passenger capacity of 2,800 and a crew of 250, offers a wide range of amenities, including multiple restaurants, bars, a spa, a fitness center, and a casino.
