The ship sailed its second sea trials Aug. 18, making its way back to Marghera Aug. 22. There the finishing touches will be completed.
Tests on systems, machinery, engines
Nieuw Statendam underwent a series of performance tests on systems, machinery and engines. The shipyard’s team of nautical officers, naval architects and builders tested maneuvering characteristics and safety systems.
