A decision about the schedule is expected Monday at noon.

The Royal Caribbean International ship originally was scheduled to depart the Papenburg harbor at approximately 2 p.m. Sunday, then delayed for an indefinite time due to external conditions.

Quantum's transit to Eemshaven, Netherlands, on the North Sea, will be broadcast live on Meyer Werft's webcam.
