Ci-Ta revitalizes aging marine vessels through expert interior restoration services, transforming worn workboats, ferries, and fishing fleets worldwide. Leveraging our global workshops in Yalova, Miami, and London, we blend advanced materials with naval architecture expertise to deliver renewed interiors that exceed contemporary safety regulations while enhancing onboard comfort and functionality.
Marine Interior Renovation Services
Our comprehensive restoration process breathes new life into tired vessels:
- Structural integrity assessments using 3D scanning
- Corrosion remediation with marine-grade alloys
- Custom fabrication matching original craftsmanship
- Complete system rewiring with water-resistant conduits
When restoring a 1980s Istanbul ferry last winter, our team discovered original teak paneling beneath layers of laminate. We preserved these historical elements while integrating modern fireproofing – creating a perfect marriage of heritage and safety that brought tears to the captain’s eyes during the reveal.
Restoring Boat Cabins and Lounges
We transform deteriorated living spaces into ergonomic retreats:
- Moisture-damaged bulkhead replacement
- Vintage upholstery restoration using marine-certified fabrics
- Climate control system modernization
- Acoustic paneling for noise reduction
The restoration of the “Mermaid’s Song” trawler’s crew lounge became legendary in our London workshop. After replacing mildewed bunks with ventilated berths, the owner reported his crew’s seasickness incidents dropped by 70% – proving comfort directly impacts operational readiness in heavy swells.
Modernizing Outdated Vessel Interiors
Ci-Ta upgrades obsolete layouts with contemporary functionality:
- Reconfiguring inefficient galley workflows
- Retrofitting LED lighting with circadian controls
- Installing space-saving modular furniture systems
- Integrating touchscreen control stations
During a Miami-based tugboat modernization, we replaced analog gauges with digital displays in the wheelhouse. The veteran captain initially resisted until navigating a night storm – “Feels like trading bifocals for eagle eyes!” he radioed mid-voyage. Some traditions deserve evolution.
IMO-Compliant Interior Upgrades
All restorations meet stringent maritime safety standards:
- Fire-retardant material certifications
- Emergency egress path re-engineering
- SOLAS-compliant signage installation
- Bilge alarm system integrations
After upgrading a Norwegian trawler’s interior, inspectors discovered our bulkheads withstood 200°C longer than required during safety tests. The owner framed the compliance certificate with the note: “Ci-Ta doesn’t meet standards – they redefine them.”
