Second Rail-RoPax Ferry for Russian Far East Launched
On October 30, United Shipbuilding Corporation’s Amursky Shipyard (Russian press release) launched the second of two Rail RoPax ferries.
The two ferries will be used on the Vahini-Kholmsk line (Russian Far East, between mainland and Sakhalin Island).
ALEKSANDR DEYEV and VASILY OSHCHEPKOV have been designed by MEB (Marine Enginering Bureau) for the State Transport Leasing Company (GTLK).
The Port Authority of Elefsina announced that on December 10, 2020 will take place one more scheduled public open tender –following a Greek law about potential shipwrecks- for the removal of the old THEOFILOS of Anen Lines. The former NILS HOLGERSSON is rusting away at Karavostasi B’ (Elefsis bay) since 2018 and considered dangerous for the navigation and safety in the area. The starting price for the tender was set to around EUR 1.5 million.
