🚢 Lifting the Lifts 🚧 ⬆️ The passenger lifts that will connect all three decks of the world’s largest electric ship – ensuring maximum accessibility - have been craned onto Hull 096. And in true 096 fashion, these aren’t just any lifts – they’re the largest we’ve ever installed on a vessel. Getting them in place took some serious planning, including removing a section of the roof from our main production hall to make it happen. But as always, our crews got the job done! 👏🔧 37 days until launch!
