Safmarine second new owned MPV
SHIPPING: The Safmarine Sahara - Safmarine’s second newly-built, owned multipurpose vessel - was officially named in Savannah, Georgia, USA. The vessel, built at the Wuhu Xinlian Shipyard in China in 2010, is currently deployed on Safmarine’s MPV trade between North America and West Africa
“I am delighted to be the Godmother of this new vessel, which is a symbol of Safmarine’s long-term commitment to the MPV trade and to supporting our business”, said Mrs Anita Edmondson, Director of International Logistics at M-I SWACO, had the honour of naming the vessel.
“MPV is a Safmarine differentiator and our investment in new vessels not only allows us to meet our customer’s requirements and partner more closely with them, but it also tells them we are here to make the difference – and that we are prepared to invest in making that difference”, says SCL’s Chief Financial Officer, Rob Harrison.
The naming of the new MPV vessel also coincided with the delivery of Safmarine’s first new WAF MAX container vessel, the Safmarine Chilka.
