20 SHIPBUILDING TECHNOLOGY Cruise shipbuilding <strong>Meyer</strong> <strong>Werft</strong> In the mid-80‘s, the shipyard started cruise shipbuilding with the Homeric. By 2016, nearly 40 luxury liners between 40,000 and approx. 170,000 gt will have been built in Papenburg. The Keel Laying – old traditions are still observed in shipbuilding despite the latest technology: a “lucky penny” was always placed under the new keel before the work started. Today it is a “lucky cent” and the tradition continues. When the ship floats out it is in its new element. The final touches are made to the interior in the fitting-out quay. The river conveyance of a cruise liner from Papenburg to the North Sea is always a really spectacular occasion for spectators and the media alike. Often more than 100,000 people gather to witness the event. In the early ‘90s, the depth of the river Ems had to be adapted to the constantly growing size of the ships built in Papenburg. During the laying of the keel, the lucky penny is placed underneath the first steel block

From the top speed to the “braking distance” and various nautical tests, the ship undergoes extensive testing. Only when all the systems are working smoothly and all international requirements have been met is the ship handed over to the ship owner. The handing-over of the ship – after two years of building, many detail optimisations as well as the sea trails, the ship is handed over to its new owner. Even a few weeks before delivery, the first crew members come on board in order to familiarise themselves with the new ship.
