Close Call for Queen Mary 2

With a vessel the size of Queen Mary 2 there are always going to be some tight squeezes. Still in its first year of operation, Cunard s flagship luxury liner came up against its closest call thus far on the maiden visit to Norway. It was necessary to sail under the Askoy Suspension Bridge, the largest bridge of its type in the country, and initial estimates had suggested that clearance for the vessels funnel would be only one metre.
