Hello Francesco,
Yes great news at last, fantastic work by the company to get her afloat,
More so the work fitting those float tanks to the Starboard side of the ship considering how much damage was done on that side.
Cheers,
Roger.

Completely agree Dave. Until I saw her sister in Sydney I had no idea how massive she actually is. Just awesome engineering.
