"It sounds like a title for a show of David Copperfield, David Blaine or Criss Angel. But it isn't. It's the latest practice that big shipping companies do to their fleets. Why build a new ship, when you can extend the old one. Such measures may seem extreme, but the €40 million cost of the job is just a fraction of the €650 million - and years of labour - needed to launch a new ship." - bob via Bookmarklet
I was on that ship a few months ago. Really interesting stuff. They kept looping the video of it being extended on the television. - Benjamin Golub
