The ship «LJUBICA», 89.8 meters in length, is designed for Cintranaval-Defcar S.L. and will have a storage tank capacity of 2,000 m3. The vessel is scheduled for delivery during the fourth quarter of 2014.

The vessel with construction number C-739 from the shipyard is a fine example of the degree of specialization achieved by Zamakona Yards in building ships for the fishery sector.

Zamakona Yards is currently building another tuna fisher with similar characteristics for the company Hartswater Limited Ltd. Delivery is scheduled for January 2014.

In addition, Zamakona Yards is developing two projects for Sølvstrans to build live fish transport vessels (well boats) with a loading capacity of 3,000 m3(*).

This latest order strengthens Zamakona Yards’position as one of the Spanish leaders in shipbuilding. This latest contract adds to the five vessels currently under construction at the shipyards.

(*) The order was for one vessel with options for further two, designed by Rolls-Royce Marine. The price for the first one is about NOK 240 million. The vessel will be outfitted with diesel-electric propulsion system.
