Fire not expected to affect Norwegian Joy delivery

Norwegian Joy

A fire over the weekend in the construction shed where the Norwegian Joy is being assembled should not impact the delivery of the ship next spring, a spokesman for the Meyer Werft shipyard said.

The blaze took the yard’s fire brigade about 30 minutes to extinguish, spokesman Peter Hackmann said.

“Lucky us, it was no big deal. Damage is very limited,” Hackmann said.

The 3,900-passenger Norwegian Joy is the next Breakaway Plus ship to be delivered to Norwegian. It is being designed for use in China.
