The delivery of the Explora I cruise ship, the first units of the fleet of the company Explora Journeys of the MSC group under construction at the Monfalcone shipyard of Fincantieri, which in April had passed sea trials and the delivery of which should have taken place last Thursday, would be delayed by a few weeks due to installation on the stone wool insulation board unit of the Finnish Paroc who would not have passed the tests for the safety certification. The reason for the delayed delivery is was announced on Saturday by the economic newspaper "Financial Times", which highlighted how the problem could be common to 45 other cruise ships on which they would have been installed these panels.

According to reports received by our newspaper, further tests carried out in Italy confirmed the full compliance of the panels to safety requirements.

Explora I is the first of six ships ordered by company at Fincantieri.
