New Dry-Cargo Ships
Will Be Constructed
Volgo-Baltic Company and the Korean
Corporation Hyundai signed the contract
for the construction of four maritime drycargo
ships on February 05, 2009 in Moscow.
Last spring the companies entered
into the contract on the construction of six
ships of this type. Therefore, the Korean
company will construct ten multi-purpose
dry-cargo ships of 5280 t deadweight for
Russia.
The new project of Maritime Engineering Bureau is initially the maritime ship of unrestricted navigation area with the corresponding margin of strength. The project is truly innovative as this is the first time when deadweight of over 5000 t has been achieved for the modern dry-cargo one-hold ship with the estimated length of up to 85 m.
The first ship under the Korean contract will be delivered to the Volgo-Baltic Сompany in March 2010.
