Change of engine for the Norwegian Epic

On Friday, March 26, damage to one of the six diesel engine had forced the postponement of the transfer of Norwegian Epic lock-in the form Joubert. "The failure of mechanical parts," which has caused serious damage, according to management.

After review, a decision has finally been taken to move the giant ocean liner in dry dock around April 12, to painting. With a big difference, however, since it will also replace the damaged engine. A maneuver "very delicate" that requires the extraction of the boat.
"You really open a breach in the hull," says Eric Breux HRD. A similar exercise has been carried out to sites, including the Millennium. The cost was not disclosed. "It is the subject of discussion between insurers."

The only certainty is perhaps the most important, this remedy should not "disrupt the planning of all work aboard". The delivery to the owner NCL remains kept on June 15t.
