First ever cruise ship to be repaired in the Port of Cartagena

A new milestone has been reached at the Port of Cartagena as the first ever cruise ship to be repaired there docks this week.

This is the cruise ship Marella Discovery 2, belonging to Marella Cruises and consigned and managed by Agencia Marítima Blázquez, which will remain in wet dock for the next five days for repairs and renovations of the ship’s equipment and facilities.

The Marella Discovery 2 is 264 metres long and has a capacity for more than 2,000 passengers and 900 crew members. Work began yesterday on the maintenance and renovation of the ship’s flooring, carpets, equipment, painting and more.

The Port Authority of Cartagena has been working for some time to be a base for cruise ship repairs, and the city aspires to make this an important new service offered by the port.

In addition, the Cartagena dock is home to the Navantia shipyards, which specialise in the repair and maintenance of ships, as well as an auxiliary company, which offers a wide range of services.

Marella Cruises always stop off in Cartagena, and this year the port has also welcomed the Marella Voyager.
