The corporate-wide Maritime Asset Strategy Transformation (MAST) program, which is looking to standardise the way we manage all of the assets on our ships across the entire fleet, has achieved second phase funding approval.
This initiative, jointly driven by Corporate Shipbuilding’s Asset Management team and ABG Sourcing, now moves into design phase, involving some 50 colleagues from various departments across all brands within the Corporation.
Once this initial design and build phase is complete (expected Q1, 2020), a pilot program will run on 6-8 ships, from various brands, before implementing across the entire fleet.
Implementing a standard and optimised way of working across the Carnival Corporation will not only provide great benefits for our company, but has the potential to change the way the cruise industry designs and operates the assets. This is both a hugely exciting, and busy, time for the teams involved and we’ll keep you updated as we make progress.
