Trimline Converts Jazz Clubs to Smoke-Less Casinos on 3 Royal Caribbean International Ships
Royston Completes New Engine Overhaul Work for Tidewater Marine Fleet
AIS and Armacell Form Joint Venture for Insulation Jackets
AIS is proud to announce a joint venture in the USA with Oklahoma- headquartered company, Armacell, a global leader in flexible and engineered foam. Both the joint venture, Armacell AIS LLC, and the manufacturing of insulation jackets will be based in Yukon, Oklahoma.
Leading interior outfitter Trimline has recently completed the conversions of jazz clubs into smoke-less casinos on three Royal Caribbean ships – Harmony of the Seas, Oasis of the Seas and Allure of the Seas. Ride on squads transformed the areas concurrently and while the ships were in service around the US, with each ship taking approximately 2 weeks to complete the transformation.
Trimline’s team of demolition and removal experts, joiners, electricians, decorators, and labourers worked closely with data, IT, and casino commissioning specialists to ensure that their work was completed efficiently and with minimal disruptions to guests and crew. With a focus on safety and customer satisfaction, Trimline’s team carefully handled materials around the ship and adjusted their work patterns to accommodate passenger and crew movements.
Despite these challenges, Trimline’s team of highly skilled tradespeople were able to bring their expertise to the table and deliver a first-class transformation on all three ships.

Marine engineering and propulsion specialist Royston has completed the rapid overhaul of a diesel power plant system onboard a Tidewater Marine operated platform support vessel.
Drawing on its extensive capabilities and resources, Royston engineers undertook the 18,000 running hours service of a Scania DI12 harbour generator, which is onboard the 80m length Highland Chieftain, while the vessel was moored in Aberdeen.
The work involved the generator being disassembled with manifolds, turbo, rocker gear, critical pumps, pistons, liners, oil cooler, fan and belt guards all being stripped out along with the camshaft for inspection and where necessary, either repaired or replaced.
All parts including the engine block, were cleaned while the aftercooler was also stripped down at Royston’s specialist test and repair centre in Newcastle upon Tyne before being cleaned and rebuilt. New turbo, water pump and thermostat units were also fitted as part of a comprehensive package of engineering work and support before the whole power plant was reassembled and tested for operational performance.
Utilising AIS design and Armacell production expertise, the partnership will manufacture insulation jackets for the North America HVAC (Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) market, as well as acoustic and passive fire protection jackets.
Ciro Ahumada, Armacell’s Vice President Americas commented: “Both companies have a long track record in the insulation and energy conservation industries. We offer a local presence in the USA in terms of facilities, management and business development. ‘Made in USA’ coupled with AIS design and Armacell production expertise will make our JV valuable to clients in the region.”
Armacell has led the energy-saving foam insulation market since 1954. With over 27 manufacturing facilities worldwide, the company’s insulation materials are made for technical equipment, and high-performance foams are tailored to high-tech and lightweight applications. These attributes are complemented by the quality of AIS ContraFlex® jackets, an exciting prospect for customers in the region.
