Preparing an offer

Our sanitary cabins are tailor-made, which means that all the projects and respective quotations are prepared individually for each inquiry. You can either provide us with a complete and detailed design or we can prepare it on our own, basing on a deck plan of the ship. If needed, we will also try to adjust the project in order to increase the product’s utility or change its final cost.

What is more, they have gained experience in loading, transporting and unloading sanitary cabins which may be considered as an uncommon load. Thanks to this, wet units are always well protected during the transport and any potential damage to the cabins is avoided.
