The keel-laying ceremony, which traditionally invites good luck in the construction of a ship and throughout her life, marked the beginning of her formal build at Hyundai Mipo Dockyard in Ulsan.
The first of 36 mega blocks were laid in dry dock number 4, which forms part of the forward engine room, weighing 215 tonnes. Two further blocks also joined the first in the dock, with welding and connecting able to commence.
