“The demand is there in the market. We are already getting a large number of enquiries, particularly as we take care of all the engineering work associated with chartering the vessel,” Lars Rolner, founder and managing director of United Heavy Lift, said in a release.
“At the same time, the markets in Africa and the Near East are developing strongly. For the waters and ports there, a shallow draught is of crucial importance for a deck carrier,” Rolner added.
