The first of Norwegian Breakaway’s external blocks of steel have arrived at Meyer Werft. These two blocks were transported 80 miles via the North Sea and up the Ems river from Bremen, Germany before arriving to the shipyard in Papenburg, Germany. Block 33 weighs 700 tons and Block 34 weighs 500 tons, totaling the weight of 141 elephants! Block 33 stretches 130.2 feet wide, the full breadth of the ship. These are the two first blocks that will be lifted into the building dock to be the foundation of The Waterfront and 678 Ocean Place!
