AKER YARDS: Cruise & Ferries business area benefits from industrial synergies

Aker Yards, Cruise & Ferries business area combines the long tradition
of Finnish and French shipbuilding, benefitting from a unique design
competence and strong industrial synergies. The integration process
was named 1 + 1 = 3.

Since January 4, 2006 when the news of joining forces of the two giants
in cruise ship building was published, the traffic between the cities of
Saint Nazaire in France and Turku in Finland, where the two Aker Yards
post-panama yards are situated, has been busy.
