On Thursday the 6th of April at 10.00 hrs. our Nb. 454 ‘Arklow Gem’ will be launched at the Westerbroek shipyard.

Nb. 454 ‘Arklow Gem’ is the first in a series of 5 ships to be built for Arklow Shipping from Ireland.

With a maximized hold volume of 220.000 cft and a carrying capacity over 5000 deadweight tons, it still falls under the 3000 gross tons limit. Arklow Gem has one single hold and is propelled by a 1600 kW MaK engine with a single ducted propeller.
