Ship building Japan
I have an old mate that lives and works in Japan. He supervises new builds as the owners representitive. This is his latest project. There are another 9 of these to be built. Last one is for delivery in August 2025.
He told me from the initail Steel Cutting ceremony to Delivery to owners 8 months 2 weeks. If only we could do that here in the UK.
Cannot quite make her name out reckon she is called the General Frontier?
