Rijkaart: Eurodam Construction on Schedule

Pieter RijkaartENB recently participated in an interview with Pieter Rijkaart, director of newbuilds for Holland America Line and Blog Board member. He had just returned from the Marghera shipyard and we were eager to hear his impressions of how the construction was progressing:

Well, I actually arrived back in Seattle yesterday, and the day before I left the yard I had a walk over the ship … not only for looking at how far along the ship is, but also the standard of the ship. And I must say, I’m quite satisfied with both the standard and the progress of Eurodam.

The progress is very important for us in order to determine if the ship will be ready on the date that she’s supposed to be delivered to us. I’m actually extremely satisfied. They’re moving very fast and I’m quite optimistic that the ship will be finished on the date of delivery.
