RINA Opens Its New Cruise House in Miami

RINA has opened Cruise House Miami, a new hub intended to strengthen its connections with cruise operators and ship managers across the Americas.

Launched on October 28, the facility will present RINA’s classification and statutory services, digital solutions and infrastructure, alongside ship design and engineering expertise from Foreship. The opening follows the launch of Cruise House Southampton earlier this year and builds on RINA’s North American presence and Foreship’s Fort Lauderdale office.

Michele Landro, RINA’s vice president and head of the passenger ships segment in North America, said the space is designed to give clients and industry stakeholders a place to meet specialists, discuss sector challenges and explore ways to support the industry’s development.

Landro attended the launch with Cristina Melado, president of RINA North America; Andreas Ullrich, global market director for passenger ships and ferries; and Benjamin Sward, Foreship’s regional president.

Cruise House Miami will also host workshops, training sessions and discussions on regulatory developments and operational challenges. It will form part of RINA’s international network supporting the global cruise industry.
