It was Mein Schiff that tested the new Berth 5 which was constructed to allow for the handling of two mega ships simultaneously. It did so successfully, home-porting both Men Schiff 3 and MS Britannia during the last winter season. https://www.barbadostoday.bb/2016/11/18/european-ships-sail-into-barbados/
