The float out of MSC Seashore took place earlier at the Fincantieri shipyard in Monfalcone, Italy.

This is a major milestone in ship building as it is the first time a new vessel touches water and sees the ship enter the next phase of construction.

MSC Seashore, which will be the longest ship in the fleet, at 339 metres, has now been moved to a wet dock until her delivery in July to allow for work on her interior.
