Independence Dry Dock location?

[sotong]

IOS arrives in Southampton in the morning before departing for dry dock until early May. Does anyone know where the work is being done, presumably not Southampton? But somewhere else on Europe??

 

Will be able to check to tomorrow on AIS to see where it has sailed to but thought would ask the knowledgable CC team first!

My understanding is Hamburg, Germany over a 12 day period.

Makes sense, thanks, Gillian.

Indy will be doing her drydock in Hamburg, Germany.

Thanks I was also curious about that.

She'll be going to the same place that Freedom went to repair her azipod bearings when she came out of the shipyards after she was built. :)

I remember the Discovery channel show on the building of the Freedom and the bearing problems they discovered during trials. I think they wanted to repair them in Finland at the shipyard where it was built but the dry dock wasn't available because the Liberty (or was it Indy??) was occupying it so they had to go to Hamburg.

I just watched that show again because I wanted to show my DH the ship and knew the Freedom and Indy were the same class.
