Freeport, Grand Bahama – The worlds largest and most revolutionary cruise ship the “Allure of the Seas” has docked at the Grand Bahama Shipyard for repair work on propulsion motors.

The work will continue on a twenty-four seven basis for the expected seven days stay at the yard.

“To perform this technically challenging work in such a timeframe involves detailed planning and teamwork from the owners, the propulsion motor manufacturers and the yard,” stated Carl Gustaf Rotkirch, Chairman and CEO at the yard. He continued, “the facilities and skills we have readily available here in Freeport continually rise to the challenges posed by our customers, this type of docking has never been performed at any yard in the world; by successfully undertaking this project, we have once again proved we are a world leader”

“RCCL are a valued and repeat customer, with whom we have a very special bond, their confidence that the yard can deliver such projects will resonate around the shipping industry” concluded Rotkirch.
