VSI-TEMIS On-Site at Meyer Turku for One of the World’s Most Complex Cruise Retail Logistics Operations
Our team traveled personally to the Meyer Turku Shipyard in Finland to oversee logisƟcs
coordinaƟon and regulatory alignment for the final delivery of retail goods supporƟng the
onboard duty-free retail operaƟon aboard the upcoming vessel Legend of the Seas.
One of the most advanced cruise vessels ever constructed, Legend of the Seas represents a new
benchmark in scale and onboard experience — including a fully integrated retail and duty-free
shopping ecosystem operaƟng at sea.
VSI-TEMIS was selected as part of the internaƟonal logisƟcs network supporƟng the retail
supply chain for this onboard operaƟon, working in coordinaƟon with the global operator
responsible for duty-free retail stores across the vessel.
On-Site Mission in Finland
This week, our team was present at Meyer Turku Shipyard in Turku, Finland — one of the
world’s most advanced shipbuilding faciliƟes and the same yard responsible for some of the
largest cruise vessels ever built.

Our mission on-site was clear: to verify and oversee that all logisƟcs procedures, customs
coordinaƟon, and final delivery requirements for the onboard retail operaƟon were fully aligned
ahead of final installaƟon.
This included ensuring readiness for the secure, Ɵme-sensiƟve movement of goods desƟned for
retail environments at sea.
“Final delivery to onboard retail environments is not only about transportaƟon — it is about
precision, Ɵming, and absolute control at every stage of the supply chain.”

On-site at Meyer Turku — vessel and shipyard infrastructure · Turku, Finland · 2026
Beyond coordinaƟon, our team was physically present at Meyer Turku to ensure every
operaƟonal detail was executed according to plan. For projects of this scale, on-site presence is
essenƟal to guarantee precision, compliance, and Ɵming accuracy
A Project of Global Scale
Being part of this program reflects the trust placed in VSI-TEMIS by global partners operaƟng
within highly complex retail logisƟcs environments.
The vessel will debut in the Mediterranean in July 2026, before reposiƟoning to North America
later in the year, where it will operate Caribbean iƟneraries. Our presence at Meyer Turku
represents a key milestone in the final phase of preparaƟon for the onboard retail supply chain
— ensuring full readiness ahead of launch.
VSI-TEMIS conƟnues to support large-scale internaƟonal logisƟcs projects where precision,
compliance, and execuƟon at global scale are criƟcal.
If your organizaƟon is managing complex supply chains involving shipyard delivery, retail
operaƟons, or high-value internaƟonal cargo coordinaƟon, our team is available to support
end-to-end execuƟon.
