Western Marine vessels on way to Germany

The two vessels built by Western Marine Shipyard for a German Shipping company sailed for Germany Thursday, said a press release. On July 29, 2011, the Western Marine handed over the two vessels to the German shipping company Grona Shipping GmbH Co. KG. All the formalities for the final delivery have already been completed at the head office of the Western Marine Shipyard Ltd. The two vessels-- EMSWAVE and EMSTIDE-- are the fifth and the sixth of the series of eight sister ships that was built by Western Marine for Grona. Managing Director of Grona, Ebbe Prins and Managing Director of Western Marine, Md Sakhawat Hossain signed the vessel acceptance and delivery deals on behalf of their respective organizations. The fleet manager of Grona Markku Vedder, Managing Director of class-GL Bangladesh AKM Masud Karim and the representative of the shipyard in Europe, Lars Brenneke were present among others during the signing ceremony. Western Marine has been successful to export six vessels of the same series in nine months -- the shortest span of time as no shipbuilders has so far been able to deliver within this time.
