On Friday the 12th of April at 13.30 hrs. our Nb. 458 ‘Arklow Guard’ was launched at the Westerbroek shipyard.

Nb. 458 ‘Arklow Guard’ is the last in a series of 5 ships 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 Guard has one single hold and is propelled by a 1600 kW MaK engine with a single ducted propeller.
