The St. Nazaire-based STX Shipyard (formerly Chantiers de l’Atlantique) has confirmed that an inquiry has been launched to determine if arson was the cause of a small fire that damaged the nearly complete 150,000 gt MV NORWEGIAN EPIC late Monday night. Wiring was damaged on the ship’s aft Deck Four before the blaze was contained by firefighters, although it remains unclear why the ship’s extinguishing system was not functioning. STX claims the ship’s June 15 delivery will not be affected.
Maybe it is the ghost of the Norway getting back at NCL.
I like that Jeff ! Or maybe its the Norway trying to set fire to her ULGY new sister. The Epic is the UGLIEST ship I have ever seen. And can we discuss TOP HEAVY !!!!
Might just be history repeating itself. A few French built ships have been damaged or destroyed by fires of various causes: L’Atlantique, Georges Phillipar, Bianca C., Paris, Normandie .
