Built with Purpose – Episode 2 Every ship has a story long before she meets the sea. As EXPLORA III prepares to launch this July, we look back at the journey that brought her to life. Site Director Mimmo Lubrano reflects on the milestones that shaped her construction - from steel cutting to the final moments before delivery. Behind every stage was the dedication, craftsmanship and passion of the people who built her. And when the time comes to watch her leave the shipyard, pride is matched by the emotion of letting her go. #ExploraJourneys #OceanStateOfMind

People on deck #5 My name is Mimi Lubrano. I work for MSC since 12 years. I'm the director of said office. So in short, together with my team, I'm in charge to build the ship. Just like to compare with the human being. So the steel cutting is just the beginning of the constructions. So it represents the first step. You start giving a shape to the vessel and then we have the flute out. It's like you start giving a sound. The delivery of the vessel is the final step. The new baby is born. When we see the ship leaving, it's a bit of a, you know, said of course, feeling all the works done, all the activities carried out during the construction will be ended in one go. After the delivery or better during the delivery of the vessel, all the works that are very passionate because we all think that all our efforts become true.
