With over 20 years of industry expertise, Ci-Ta is a global leader in marine interior design and turnkey application services. Operating from our London, Miami, and Yalova offices, we deliver integrated solutions for passenger ships, ferries, and commercial fleets – from concept sketches to final onboard installation. Having both design and application managed by a single expert team ensures seamless integration of aesthetics and technical compliance while reducing project risks by up to 40%.
Integrated Marine Interior Design Process
Ci-Ta’s holistic approach balances operational realities with creative vision through every project phase. Our comprehensive process includes:
- Operational flow analysis and 3D spatial modeling
- Material selection compliant with IMO and SOLAS regulations
- Prototype testing and user experience simulations
- Modular design strategies for cost optimization
Designing the lobby for an expedition ship in Norwegian fjords taught us how sunlight dances with window placements – nature remains the ultimate designer. On a Mediterranean superyacht project, we discovered even a 3% incline difference can cause critical furniture installation errors. When our design and application teams collaborated in the same shipyard for a Caribbean cruise vessel, it shortened production time for 126 cabins by two weeks.
Ship Cabin Outfitting & Turnkey Application
Ci-Ta’s turnkey outfitting services transform design concepts into technically flawless realities. Our specialized capabilities encompass:
- ISO-certified modular cabin manufacturing
- Space-optimized installation techniques for confined areas
- Integrated ceiling systems with ventilation and electrical routing
- Vibration-resistant mounting solutions for marine environments
Working on a Baltic ferry project at -25°C showed how shared challenges strengthen team bonds. Installing a superyacht sauna in the Pacific revealed how traditional Finnish wood joinery could marry modern composites. The electromagnetic integration of a 360-degree captain’s chair taught us that even 1mm tolerance matters profoundly in moving parts.
Specialized Design & Application for Passenger Vessels
Ci-Ta redefines maritime comfort and safety through vessel-specific design protocols. Our tailored solutions feature:
- Motion-responsive furniture systems for wave compensation
- Aesthetically integrated fire-rated partition walls
- Custom-engineered surface coatings for high-traffic areas
- EMC-compliant lighting and technology infrastructure
Seeing passengers smile in our seats during an Istanbul ferry inauguration remains our proudest professional moment. During storms on a North Sea Ro-Pax vessel, we engineered restaurant counter mechanisms that prevented plate slippage. Working on an Antarctic expedition ship, we felt constant responsibility toward nature while developing -50°C resistant rubber composites.
