Shipping News and information / Transfennica now to get 8 new ships

« on: December 08, 2005, 04:43:33 PM »

Just been reading through the Transfennica website, and they are now to get 8 new ships built in Poland. They have been ordered by Transfennicas owners, Spleithoff.

Any ideas where they are going to be sailing, or if Transfennica are going to be expanding?

Shipping News and information / New ships to be built in Poland

« on: August 05, 2005, 08:28:31 AM »

A new ship for Caledonian Macbrayne shall be built in Poland, Stacznia Remontowa. She shall be the sister ship of the MV Bute which was completed there earlier on this year.

Also a fishery protection patrol boat shalll be built at the same yard for the Scottish Fishery Protection authority.

Both of these ships had been hoped to be built in Fergusons Port Glasgow, but have gone to Remontowa instead, possibly leading to the closure of one of Britains lst commercial shipbuilders.
