Turku shipyard has seen a rebound in its fortunes since being acquired by Germany’s Meyer family in 2014.
The Finnish yard has a long, distinguished history of building cruiseships. But it passed through the hands of various owners and identities — Aker Finnyards, Aker Yards and finally STX Finland — before being bought by Meyer.
Internal problems with owner STX in South Korea had led to uncertainty among shipowners and a decline in the orderbook.
