Fire safety fears are delaying the launch of the world’s newest luxury cruise liner, report says
The launch of a highly anticipated luxury cruise ship has been delayed by safety concerns, the Financial Times reported on Friday.
The Explora I, run by cruise giant MSC, lost a crucial safety certification over faulty fire-resistant panels, per the newspaper, which cited unnamed sources.
Paroc, a Finnish supplier of the panels to the shipbuilder Fincantieri, informed the Italian company that a second type of panel had also lost its certification, the sources told the FT.
