It's all about the tides, sea conditions, and wind.

Great - thanks for that!😊

I don´t think there´s any specific reason for the time - the harbor basin can be closed by a lock and Papenburg is way up the Ems river - no tide there. Weather and wind are ususally the only reasons for delays as the way through the door of the buiding hall is let´s say very tight.

 

The only reason I can think of is that they simply need til Monday to work on the ship inside the hall and get everything ready for the float out. On one of the recent NDR videos it´s mentioned that two thrusters and some hull paint was still missing by the time of the video (this week).

The tide is a critical factor in Papenburg. Monday is more favorable with low tide at only  -0.04m and high tide at 3.99m

The basin next to the hall has a 12 ft tide?

Yes i too am watching the shipyard give birth to the newest Quantum ship.

I will be on the Ovation in May in Alaska.

 

Anyone know what the black boxy area on back of ship is for. Tug not using.

[Steff79]

tug not using now but when they bring the ship to the ocean  they have one tug at the front and one at the aft.

The loft suites & lounge all moved to the top of the Solarium, in the space that's the fitness center on other Quantum class ships.
