Joseph L. Meyer Werft, the German privately owned shipbuilder that is a leading builder of cruise liners, is close to winning an order for two major cruise ships, a German media report says.
“It concerns options for the construction of two further cruise liners. Therefore, the deal is not finalised yet,” the Ostfriesen Zeitung daily reported on its website. The planned vessels would be completed in 2018 and 2019.
The paper cited talks between the management and staff of the shipbuilder that were held earlier this week
At the moment, Meyer Werft is building two 163,000 gross ton Breakway plus class ships for Norwegian Cruise Line, the Miami based contemporary market operator, three 167,800 gross ton Quantum class vessels for Royal Caribbean International, the contemporary market unit of Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd (RCCL) and two ships for Star Cruises.
