Cullys was proud to carry out specialised electrical services aboard the Crystal Swan, one of Perth’s most unique and prestigious charter vessels. Known for delivering over a decade of exclusive luxury on the Swan River, the Crystal Swan is a purpose-built, award-winning function venue that hosts everything from intimate celebrations to large-scale events for up to 200 guests—including weddings, corporate dinners, school balls, and cocktail receptions.
With a fully enclosed, temperature-controlled interior and open-air deck access offering 360-degree views of Perth’s stunning skyline, this dual-level vessel is a true standout in maritime hospitality. The key electrical on-board systems, including lighting, power distribution, and control systems, ensure that the venue remains not only visually impressive but also technically sound for every event it hosts.
In 2015, we completed a series of electrical upgrades aboard the Crystal Swan to enhance system reliability, safety, and integration. The works involved the supply and installation of generator protection and instrumentation to improve monitoring and safeguard the vessel’s onboard power generation. We also upgraded the Lighting & Small Power (L&SP) chassis bus contactor, improving electrical distribution efficiency throughout the vessel.
To enhance system integration and safety, we performed control circuit modifications, including correct interlocking with the shore power supply, helping prevent unsafe power conflicts during transitions. Additionally, we installed a phase sequence reversing switch for the shore supply, along with interlocking of the shore supply breaker (MN trip)—ensuring correct phase alignment and further protecting critical systems.
Cullys’ specialised marine electrical knowledge and attention to detail help vessels like the Crystal Swan continue delivering premium experiences, backed by dependable onboard systems.
