The order will be pass to fincantieri or Chantiers de l'Atlantique.

You are correct Christophe. In the Italian media on Friday they mentioned that only Fincantieri and Alstom Marine are the contenders for this contract. In actual fact even earlier than this I read that it wasn’t a forgone conclusion Fincantieri would get the project. Anyway, the media are leaning towards Fincantieri as Carnival Corp Plc has “that” preferential deal with the Italian yard.
As for MSC Crociere ordering two more ships at Alstom, that is good news for the French yard and great news for MSC in their expansion plans. This may also mean that the negotiations for two ships at Fincantieri may be off. Maybe it could be because Fincantieri is aiming for the Pinnacle project and there would be no future slots for MSC. Does that sound right?
Also the Pinnacle project may end up being a 200,000gt and not a 180,000gt ship. Any confirmation on this?

It's OK I gotcha covered, Micky and I have had long talks about this ship and I'm happy to announce it will indeed have indoor go-kart tracks and stern-mounted bungee jumping.
