Gibraltar shiprepair yard Gibdock reports completion of a complex containership crane refurbishment job, which called for strict certification of welding procedures by Lloyd's Register, which approved all materials used. Aldebaran, a 2008-built 2,785TEU containership owned and managed by Reederei Horst Zeppenfeld, underwent a multi-faceted package of works. The ship is on charter to CMA CGM and was redelivered on schedule after a 23-day project. The yard has handled a succession of vessels for German owners during 2012, attracting ships operating in the Mediterranean and West African trades, with owners drawn to Gibraltar in part by minimal route deviation.
