How to Build the World’s Largest Cruise Ship (or One of Them, Anyway) In a Finnish shipyard, the 250,800-ton sister of Icon of the Seas, the world’s largest cruise ship, is in the final stages of construction. We got an inside look. The valves were opened and more than a thousand workers gathered at the Meyer Turku shipyard in Finland to watch the “float out” of Royal Caribbean’s Star of the Seas. The nine-hour process — which involves flooding a special dock with more than 92 million gallons of water to push the 250,800-ton mega-ship onto a pier for the final stages of construction — had begun. Like its sister ship, Icon of the Seas — the world’s largest cruise ship — the Star measures 1,196 feet long and towers 20 decks high. Capable of carrying nearly 8,000-passengers, the behemoth is scheduled to launch on Aug. 31, 2025, from Port Canaveral, Fla., and will have many of Icon of the Seas’ features: eight “neighborhoods,” six water slides, seven swimming pools and more than 40 dining, drinking and entertainment venues. In response to demand, the company has started construction on the third Icon Class ship, which will be completed in 2026, and plans to order a fourth for 2027, with options for a fifth and a sixth. https://lnkd.in/graJsDYd

Risky Business: Entering enclosed yacht spaces by Capt. Jake DesVergers. Courtesy of TRITON News. Entering enclosed spaces aboard yachts during a shipyard refit can be a hazardous task that requires proper training, planning, and safety precautions. These spaces, such as tanks, lockers, and bilges, can pose serious hazards to those who enter them. Despite their small size, these locations can contain dangerous levels of toxic gases — such as carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, and hydrogen sulfide — that can result in asphyxiation and death. It is important to follow established procedures, including the use of proper equipment and ventilation systems, to ensure a safe and successful entry.

The marine market is known for being a unique and complex environment, however, for the insurance sector this complexity is starting to progress at a rate of knots.
