Aker Yards France is in a dispute with cruise vessel operator Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL) over the costs of the ongoing construction of the vessel currently named C 33.

Jacques Hardelay, president of Aker Yards France, said: "In projects with this magnitude of complexity, we have in this industry several examples that discussions arise during the project execution. We regret that we have a situation with a dispute. “While we are in the middle of this process, it would not be correct to speculate on the outcome, or on possible alternatives.
