WMS Starts Sea Trials for Danish RORO Ferry

Western Marine Shipyard (WMS) started, a few days ago, sea trials for a 50m Danish RORO Passenger Ferry, owned by Danish ferry operator Hundested Rorvig Faergefart. This newbuilding project is supervised by the French classification society Bureau Veritas (BV).

Western Marine was nominated for this newbuilding by Danish Maritime Authority (DMA), which is known for maintaining & following the stringent maritime safety rule in the world. The ferry is expected to be handed over to her owner by July 1st 2013.

Denmark has a huge global fame in building the best quality ferries, in-fact several inland ferries in Bangladesh were imported from Denmark once. After decades the time has changed, Bangladesh is going to export ferries to Denmark. Therefore this is the beginning of a new chapter in the shipbuilding industry of Bangladesh.
