According to Meyer Turku, the shipbuilder of what is expected to be the world’s largest and most technically advanced cruise ship, the construction is progressing at a good pace and preparations for her sea trials have already started.
“As the world’s largest prototype ship, Icon’s early sea trials are important to ensure that all the ship’s main equipment such as propulsion equipment, main engines and power plant, thrusters and fin stabilizers are working as they should”, Meyer Turku said in a social media update on 5 May.
The Finnish shipbuilder started construction on the Icon of the Seas in June 2021 and installed an LNG fuel tank in November 2021.
