MES builds on speciality

摘要

The way a new order unfolded for four liquefied petroleum gas carriers to be built at Besiktas Gemi Insaa Sanayi for €60million, to a design from Trieste-based Marine Engineering Services, is typical of the environment facing the industry in general and the designers of specialised tonnage in particular.rnLivorno-based Gas and Heat, the cargo containment arm of MES had originally placed the order for the 3360m capacity quartet at Berk Shipyard, on behalf of Greece's Vafias Group. When delays prompted Vafias to cancel the order, Gas and Heat took them on and successfully transferred the deal to Besiktas Group, which operates nine tankers and manages another two.
