Thanks for all your comments: yes, indeed, not a great advert for quality control from this shipyard!
AS of today, 25/01/2015, vessel is still alongside at Las Palmas, apparently under repair.

Hi Rick. Nice shot. This kind of new design but old style bows looks let's say strange...jeje and the condition of this almost brand new ship..well, a lot to talk about. Congrats. for the shot Rick.

Aerodynamic bow design. For a relative new-build (in addition to apparent mechanical issues), she is showing some signs of exterior wear & tear.

Nice one! Interesting bow - I'd guess soon these will be a common feature on many more ships.
