On July 10, the naming ceremonies for the two 57,000-dwt bulk carriers, being built by COSCO (Guangdong) Shipyard for the Greek owner Golden Union, were held simultaneously. The vessels were named “Flag Gangos” and “Loannis G”.
More than 150 people, including the owner’s representative, Mr. Markopoulos Gerasimos, the general manager of Class NK Guangzhou Branch, Mr. Luo Yudong, the owners site representatives, the yard’s leaders and the shipbuilding division staff, co-witnessed the moment.
The cooperation between Golden Union and COSCO (Guangdong) started 19 years ago. COSCO (Guangdong) has already built and delivered four vessels for Golden Union.
