Shares in Royal Caribbean Cruises were holding firm today as analysts began running their numbers following the collapse of a shipyard crane onto one of the company’s flagship vessels.
Eight people were injured after the 225,000-gt Oasis of the Seas (built 2009) was struck by a crane and damaged at the Grand Bahama yard.
Analysts at UBS suggested the shipowner could face lost revenue of around four weeks on the vessel and speculated the shipyard’s insurance would pick up the repair tab.
