MSC Armonia Goes under the Knife
MSC Armonia is now more than 24 meters longer than when it arrived at the Fincantieri shipyard in Palermo (Italy) at the end of last month. As part of MSC Cruises' Renaissance Project, the ship is being lengthened by way of inserting a 24-meter section in the middle. The cutting completed on Monday, it was pulled apart today on the rails in the dry dock, and the new midsection will be in place tomorrow.
