Eclipse On The Horizon

摘要

Late January saw the first block laid out of a total of 72 of the new 122,000gt passenger cruise vessel Celebrity Eclipse, for Celebrity Cruises in Meyer Werft's covered building dock II, which has been lengthened by 120m. Harri Kulovaara (executive vice president maritime and newbuilding), Christer Schoug (vice president newbuilding) and project director Jarmo Laakso of Celebrity Cruises put down the traditional 'lucky cents' in this new part of the dock of the shipyard before the first block of the new ship was lowered by an 800tonne capacity crane. This first block weighs around. 550tonnes, is 16m long, 36.80m wide and approximately 8.00m high. Meyer Werft was represented by Bernard Meyer (managing partner), Lambert Kruse (managing director) and Uwe Wulff (project manager). Celebrity Eclipse is the third ship in a series of five luxury cruiseships for Celebrity Cruises.
