Launching Nb. 405 ?Roerborg?
Posted on June 11, 2014
On Friday the 4th of July, 11.00 hrs, our Nb. 405 M.V. ?Roerborg? will be launched at Leer.
Roerborg is the third ship in a series of three built for Wagenborg. However,
this ship comes with an increased deckhouse which makes her more suitable
for deck cargo?s.
The launching promises to become a splash of huge proportions, as it is by
far the largest ship in our assortment. With a length of 170mtr, Breadth of
20.4 mtr and 23000 deadweight tons carrying capacity she is nearing the
maximum dimensional limits that can be built at our Leer production-site.
Ships of these dimensions are normally floated out of a building dock or
launched from longitudinal slipways. The spectacular sideways launching of a
ship this size is an event that has rarely been seen.
