Largest Romanian shipyard finishes USD 29 mln repair on burned German ship Flaminia

Romanian shipyard Daewoo Mangalia Heavy Industries recently finalized the repairs on German container ship Flaminia, in just five months after starting work on the project. The ship was delivered to the client this week, according to Hotnews.ro. Some 7,500 tonnes of steel were replaced on the ship, which make this one of the largest ship repair projects in Romania. The repairs were made by 500 employees of Daewoo Mangalia and the cost of the whole project was USD 29 million. The Flaminia port-container ship caught fire in the Atlantic Ocean in 2012. The ship was first decontaminated in Denmark before it was brought for repairs in Romania.
