THE SPECULATIVE GAMBLE THAT PAID OFF -AND PROMISES MORE

摘要

In January 2016, Bibby Marine Services took a leap of faith, signing a contract with Damen shipyards for the construction of an innovative custom-designed walk-to-work vessel. The company says the vessel, which launched in March 2017, is likely just the first in a series. "When we convinced the board to invest tens of millions of euros in this vessel, we had no contract," said Stephen Blaikie, Bibby Marine's former chief executive and the initiator of the Bibby Wavemaster 1 project.
