Imola Express - Delivery and Namegiving Ceremony
8 June 2010
We are pleased to announce that, after successful delivery, the Namegiving Ceremony of MV Imola Express took place today, Tuesday 8 June 2010, at Hyundai Mipo Dockyard, Ulsan, Korea.
The vessel is a PCTC (Pure Car and Truck Carrier), with a capacity of 3,700 cars, and is the last in a series of four vessels to be delivered to Vroon during 2009 and 2010. The vessel is able to carry both standard cars and 'high and heavy cargo', thus offering the necessary flexibility to charterers.
The Imola Express was christened by Mrs. Joke Vroon, wife of Mr. Coco Vroon, Managing Director of Vroon Group B.V.
The vessel is now proceeding to Japan for loading its first cargo of new cars.
We wish the vessel and her crew safe voyages.
