Sapsis Rigging teams with Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines

Bill Sapsis, president of Sapsis Rigging announcea that Royal Caribbean Cruise Ltd. has chosen Sapsis Rigging to conduct safety inspections on all of Royal Caribbean International and Azamara Club Cruises ships.

The combined fleet numbers over 24 ships.

"Needless to say," commented Sapsis, "It's a huge honor and we're thrilled that Royal Caribbean has chosen Sapsis Rigging for this project. It's a terrific opportunity for us and serves as recognition of the commitment we have made to safety in the entertainment industry and the years of experience our inspectors bring to each venue. While the size of the fleet is formidable, our teams of inspectors, all of whom are ETCP -ertified, are well prepared for the challenge. The equipment, especially on the newer ships, is state of the art but getting to them will be a bit of a challenge. As you can imagine, there's not a lot of wasted space on a cruise ship."

The scope of the inspection program includes safety inspections of the performance spaces on each ship. Most ships have two venues but the Oasis class of ships which include Oasis of the Seas and Allure of the Seas have three to four.

Sapsis Rigging has been conducting safety inspections since 1983 and has inspected venues in 49 states as well as venues in Latin American and Canada.
