On Friday the 13th of October at 10.00 hrs. our Nb. 456 ‘Arklow Globe’ was launched at the Westerbroek shipyard.
Nb. 456 ‘Arklow Globe’ is the third 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 Globe has one single hold and is propelled by a 1600 kW MaK engine with a single ducted propeller.
