Various media outlets in Japan and Germany have reported that yesterday, while finally being outfitted at the Mitsubishi Heavy Industries yard in Nagasaki, Japan, there was a fire in an electrical compartment onboard. The fire was quickly extinguished due to the quick actions of the local fire personnel at the yard. Not surprisingly, this will push back delivery of the prototype ship yet again.
No new handover day was given.
Back in 2002 fire swept through the original Diamond Princess (currently Sapphire Princess) during construction also at Mitsubishi Heavy Industries.
