This was already the fifth order placed by DOF Industri with the Russian shipbuilder over the last two years. The cooperation has been expanding gradually: at first, the job of Russians was only to make the hull of a vessel, which was then accomplished in Norway.

This time, the Russian shipbuilder was also entrusted to install the basic equipment, including the main engine, shaft-driven generator and the steering system.

The $6.7 million project was financed by the Russian bank 'Saint-Petersburg'.

DOF Industri has decided to continue this promising partnership and signed a contract for building two more vessels of the same type at the shipbuilding yard in Vyborg.
