Uljanik Shipyard has launched Hull No. 491 – “Valovine” for the company Uljanik Finances, a part of the Uljanik Group.
This ship has been constructed for the transport of bulk cargo and has a deadweight of 52,000 tonnes, length 189.90 m and width 32.24 meters, with a speed of 15 knots achieved by Uljanik’s MAN 6S50MC-C7 engine generating a power of 8,600 kW at 121 rpm.
The ship was released into the sea by the traditional cutting of the rope by Ms Pavlina Klasta, a business secretary of the Uljanik Group Management. Mr. Eduard Milovan, Director of Uljanik Shipyard who emphasized that apart from engaging their own shipyard’s capacities as well as related business systems, Yard 491 as well as the entire series of vessels for the transportation of cargo has as its aim the overcoming of the world crisis on the ship market through maintaining continuity in production as well as by expanding the fleet of a domestic client. During this occasion Milovan thanked the inspectors of the company “Uljanik Shipmanagement” as well as inspectors of “Croatian Ship Register” and “Bureau Veritas” for their great contribution as well as all Uljanik workers for the successful launch.
With the construction of this vessel as well as “Punta” – (Yard 490), which is close to delivery, Uljanik Group maintains continuity in the engagement of its own capacities and workers at a time when the recovery can be gradually seen, even though there is still no significant progress on the shipbuilding market.
The contract for the construction of “Valovine” was signed on 28th June 2010, while the keel for same was laid at the end of 2011. With the construction of these ships Uljanik maintains production continuity at a time when the shipbuilding industry has not yet fully recovered.
