Norway: Propellers Mounted on Simek’s Newbuilding 126

Earlier this week, after the block No.4 for PSV Newbuilding 126 of UT 755 LC design was placed in correct position at Simek Yard, the propellers were also mounted to the rest of the hull. The hull is getting more and more ready for the sea-launching scheduled for 12th May 2012.

After the launching remaining block No.5 will be assembled by a floating crane.
