In a marine vessel (ship, boat, etc.), marine interior has an important role in contributing to a good vessel’s overall performance.  Most marine vessels are operated by humans therefore a human friendly environment should be put into consideration when designing and building marine vessels.  When humans are happy in their environment, they can perform better.

Marine interior is not equal to luxurious and expensive investment. The amount of money spent is determined by the material specifications of the marine interior design concept.  The concept itself is the most important thing in marine vessel interior designing. It can be luxurious and expensive, but it also can be nice and cost effective.  It all depends to the client requirements and needs.

Unusual room shapes, limited spaces, marine safety rules and regulations, soundproof and vibration issues, corrosive environment, dynamic characteristic (marine vessel’s move, heels, heave, etc.), are things that do not occur in the home or building interior design field. Those issues have to be recognized and considered when generating a marine interior concept and design in ships, boats and other marine vessels and crafts.

In a past year Kakanoo has put marine interior as an important factor in the marine vessel design and building works.   It’s been an interesting field and we are happy to engage in this matter.  We have formed an alliance with our marine interior designer that has been involved in designing marine interior design projects in Indonesia since the early 90s. We now design our vessels’ general arrangement (GA) while taking into consideration the marine interior design factors.  We are able to develop visualization drawings (2D dan 3D) on our marine interior design ideas in order to have a clear picture of the idea for our clients, contractors and our own work.

A good marine interior concept has to be translated into designs and the designs (and specifications) have to be implemented by a marine interior contractor that understands the marine vessels characteristics. This must be done in order to actualize real marine interior work results that bring a human friendly, attractive, cozy atmosphere onboard a vessel.  Kakanoo also has collaboration with an experienced marine interior contractor in order to make your marine interior dream a reality.

We look forward to discussing your marine interior concept and design!

Skills, expertise, competence of every individual and organization involved are very important project components. However, without common goals, values/attitudes and also harmony nothing good will be achieved. A project is not about skills or expertise zero sum game competition; it’s about working as a team, guided by shared project missions. Every stake holder is important according to their roles, duties and responsibilities within the project.

Project politics still remain, however, and it’s normal for people like us…. but even politics have to be based on ethics (values/attitudes)…..

Kakanoo is currently in the process of upgrading our project management knowledge and skill so that we can be more efficient in achieving the main project goals (time, cost and quality).

We are holding an in-house project management training for our own team members. It is part of our learning process… a “must do” process in order to be a better Kakanoo than yesterday….

After some quite enjoyable discussions and arguments with our web strategist, NET, we are very happy to launch our new website.

Through this website we are trying to share our valuable learning process journey and what we have achieved so far…..

Our precious treasure is the mutual partnership, collaboration and networks between us and all stake holders (clients, professionals, boatyards, boat builders, suppliers and friends). So please send us any feed back that you might think of… any constructive thoughts will be useful to make us better and better each day in serving you….

Please enjoy!
