Keel laying of Color Line's second cruise ship at Aker Yards
The keel of the cruise ship to be named Color Magic was laid today at Aker Yards. Both Chairman of the Board Olav Nils Sunde and CEO Trond Kleivdal from Color Line were present, hosted by Yrjö Julin, President of Aker Yards, Cruise & Ferries.
The contract of building this vessel, worth EUR 325 Million, was signed on May 27, 2005 and secures work at the yard for about 1,200 man-years, and about the same number for outside sub-contractors and still more for suppliers of material and components.
MS Color Magic will be built partly at the yard in Turku, and partly at the yard in Rauma. Delivery will take place in Rauma in autumn 2007.
The vessel to start traffic the route Oslo - Kiel as from the fourth quarter 2007 will be Color Line's second cruise ship with car deck. The sister ship Color Fantasy was delivered from Aker Yards in December 2004.
Color Magic will be built for short cruises on the same lines as Color Fantasy, offering a wide range of entertainment and shopping facilities. As on the sister ship, guests can relax in the ship's SPA section and enjoy a wide choice of restaurants. All cabins on board will be of high standard with TV and minibar. Color Magic will be able to offer more cabins in the higher categories.
The conference facilities on board Color Fantasy have attracted a great deal of interest in the market. Color Magic will also be equipped with an ultramodern conference centre with all technical facilities and the capacity to organise large-scale conferences. The over 75,000 BRT vessel will be 223.7 meters long and 35 meters wide.
