The first of Royal Caribbean's 200-gross-ton Icon-class ships, Icon of the Seas, is under construction at Meyer Turku. It will be Royal Caribbean's first LNG-powered ship, and as such one of the main internal features, the gas storage tanks are just being installed. Each of the two of these weighs 307 tons and is 90 feet long.
Royal Caribbean has just released the video construction update below showing the installation of the first tank.
The video tells you a lot more about Icon's unique energy-saving features. The facts go by fast. Yes, you can play it twice (or even three times.)
Icon of the Seas is scheduled to enter service in the fall of 2023.
