Shipbuilding, maintenance & repair
They are entirely equipped with LED lights to reduce energy consumption, while the hydrodynamic design of the hull provides excellent performance with consequent fuel saving.” The Resilient Lady is set to follow in August 2022 and will once again feature the same design parameters. The vessel has just recently completed her sea trials, having sailed out from the Fincantieri shipyard in Genoa in order to test everything, from propulsion and maneuverability to safety systems and top speed. “We wanted to share that our third lady ship, Resilient Lady, has successfully completed her final sea trial, returning safely to Sestri Shipyard in Genoa, Italy,” said Virgin Voyages in a statement. “During the speed trial, she reached an impressive speed of 23kt – 26.5mph or 42.6km/h.”
Once outfitting and further testing have been completed, the Resilient Lady will prepare to launch from its new homeport in Piraeus, Greece, where it will visit the sought-after destinations including Santorini, Rhodes, Crete and Mykonos, as well as calling at Dubrovnik, Kotor, Corfu and Argostoli.
Full steam ahead As bookings for the Disney Wish, Valiant Lady and Resilient Lady reach record post-pandemic levels, the faith in the industry’s recovery seems to have been repaid already. That bodes well for other new- build vessels set to launch in 2022.
Among these are the Viking Octanis and Viking
Polaris – Viking’s first expedition ships – as well as Wonder of the Seas that debuted in March 2022, the Seaborn Venture, which takes to the sea in April, and the Celebrity Beyond. Norwegian Cruise Line also plans to unveil its Norwegian Prima as part of an all-new class of vessel in August, and MSC Cruises is planning to launch both the MSC Seascape and the MSC World Europa at the back end 2022. After two years in the doldrums, the cruise industry is back with a bang, and with bookings for new vessels soaring, it seems the shipyards will only get busier in the years ahead. ●
