Fourth award for FSG

摘要

Last year completions of ships delivered from German yards unfortunately decreased once again. Container ships, the lion's share of newly built vessels of the decades before, ran out and probably the last two German-built came into service in 2011. Special-purpose vessels like cruise ships, ferries, mega yachts, offshore or naval ships are the products of the future. This trend is also evident when looking at HANSA's »Ship of the Year« award list, with no cargo ship having received this title since the year 2000.
