Milestones 20 In the mid ‘80s, the yard turned its hand to building cruise ships with the “Homeric”. Through to 2012, Papenburg will have witnessed the construction of more than 34 luxury liners ranging in size from 40,000 to more than 124,500 GT. Laying the keel: in spite of all the ultramodern technology, shipbuilding still cultivates its old traditions: a „lucky penny” is placed under the new keel before work begins. Although today it is a “lucky cent”. Docking out: the ship meets its new element. The last polish for the inner fittings is completed at the fitting-out quay. On trial: the new ship and all its many systems are put to the test. The ship is put through its paces, from top speed via braking distance to a wide range of navigational tests. The ship is only Laying the keel of the Norwegian Gem. handed over to the owners if all systems work perfectly and in compliance with all international regulations. 1995: the Oriana docks out. Good luck fairies: a lucky penny is placed under the steel block when laying the keel.
The captain bears the responsibility for the entire ship. The handover of the ship: after a two-year construction period, technical optimization of many detailed aspects and sea trials, the ocean liner is handed over to its new owners. The first crew members come on board already a few weeks before the delivery date to become acquainted with the new ship. The transfer 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. Transferring the AIDAdiva to the North Sea up the river Ems.
