Launching Galloway Express

17 April 2013

Last week, Vroon’s first newbuilding livestock carrier - Galloway Express – was launched at the Cosco Shipyard in Guangdong, China.

The launching took place in two stages. On 6 April the vessel was pulled from the slipway to the floating dock, a process that took six hours. The second stage, on 9 April, was to lower the ship into the water by filling the floating dock.

Galloway Express is the first of four livestock carriers being built for Vroon at the Shipyard. We look forward to her delivery this summer.
