China’s Yangzijiang Shipbuilding Holdings increases its orderbook and reveals today the delivery of Slavyanka to its news owners.
Yangzijiang´s joint venture Yangzi-Mitsui Shipbuilding (YAMIC) successfully delivered the 31,800 dwt ship Slavyanka to Navigation Maritime Bulgare (Navibulgar), Bulgaria’s largest shipping company.
