On May 6, 2006, Queen Mary 2 was docked at Blohm + Voss Repair's dry dock Elbe 17 with a 13 hours delay on the masterplan because of the weather conditions on her trip from New York to

Southampton. The ship was docked to dismantle one of two fixed propulsion units from the stern that was damaged when exiting Port Everglades earlier this year. On Monday afternoon, the damaged propulsion unit was already dismantled. A floating crane lifted the unit for transport to the workshops of

Blohm + Voss Repair for inspection and repairs, approximately 39 hours after being drydocked. The job was complet- ed after 56 hours.
