QM2 Arrives in Germany for Repairs

Posted by Michael in Cunard Cruise Lines

For the fourth time this year, Cunard’s Queen Mary 2 pulled into Hamburg, Germany for repairs at the Blohm and Voss shipyards.

The ship arrived on Sunday the 12th, and mooring was almost delayed due to severe weather conditions.  However the weather improved enough for the ship to moor safely at 9 PM local time.

While in Hamburg Queen Mary 2 will spend 5 days in dry dock while sprinklers are installed on the ship’s balconies and the bridge wings will be extended 2 meters.  In addition the Mermaid propulsion pod damaged earlier this year and subsequently removed for repairs will be re-installed what the ship is out of the water.
