Launch of the 1st vessel built under MEP Shipbuilding Management Team
It was an exciting moment when our project engineers, together with the ABS surveyor, witness the successful launch of the 1st vessel built under MEP Shipbuilding Management Team. This is the first project management awarded to MEP Systems in 2006, and after a few months of grueling work, the vessel is finally sea-worthy. MEP is expected to complete and deliver this vessel by September 2007.
