Jumbo has installed the world's largest underwater restaurant, located in Hurawalhi (Maldives).
At The Maldives, Jumbo moored the transport vessel Fairlane alongside a shallow coral reef where the acrylic and steel structure for the underwater restaurant was lowered onto pre-installed concrete piles at a depth of about 10 metres, further below sea level than any other underwater restaurant in the world.
The restaurant will welcome its first guests in August this year.
The Underwater Restaurant
On 23 July 2015, GAC Sweden AB awarded Jumbo a contract for the transportation and installation of the underwater restaurant. The restaurant consists of an acrylic dome on a steel structure, has a weight of 410 metric tons and is the second one of its kind.

The assembly yard of this sensitive cargo was in New Zealand, where Jumbo picked it up earlier this year. The project preparation and execution resulted in the smallest possible impact on the sensitive environment.
