Single Cruiser Posted September 20, 2014 #26 Share Posted September 20, 2014 Tweeted by HD1080ide Conveyance of #QuantumoftheSeas delayed. Here it has to fit through: You'd think when they are building billions of dollars worth of ships they'd spend a few $ on creating a wider lock gate. Just cut out a few more Metres and add a new gate can't be that hard can it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterSchnief Posted September 20, 2014 #27 Share Posted September 20, 2014 (edited) You'd think when they are building billions of dollars worth of ships they'd spend a few $ on creating a wider lock gate. Just cut out a few more Metres and add a new gate can't be that hard can it? It isn't, so in the last months the lock was rebuilt and is now one meter wider than before. It is now about 47 meters wide. The yard doesn't need more space as the dock is just 45 meters wide.

Does anyone know when she is scheduled to arrive in Bremerhaven? I was told Thursday (if she leaves Papenburg Monday night). However, no info on the Brenerhaven port webside http://www.cruiseport.de.

Lloyd555 Posted September 21, 2014 #34 Share Posted September 21, 2014 After the sailing in the Eemshaven area, and the Quantum is moored for several days at Bremerhaven's Columbus Cruise Center, where is it going for its sea trials? Same area? And afterwards? Where to before heading to Southampton, UK at the end of October/November 1 for two-day cruise and its transatlantic?

hac82 Posted September 22, 2014 #49 Share Posted September 22, 2014 (edited) I think it is possible that the Quantum has now cleared the lock at the shipyard, is now completely on the Ems and the transmission is picking up again at 17.45 their time. I saw her as she was just about completely through the lock and the next time I went out I saw that message in German. On the main page that connects you to the live transmission there is the following German text message that is translated as "NDR.de transfers the transfer of live in the video stream. Currently our reporter on the spot change their location and log against 17.45 back with new images." Edited September 22, 2014 by hac82 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
