The second from Severodvinsk<br />
Keel laying of the second newbuilding at Sevmash<br />
By Tore Jakobsen<br />
<strong>Odfjell</strong>’s newbuilding project in Russia<br />
is progressing, and on June 30th it was<br />
time for the keel laying of the second in<br />
our series of eight to twelve ships from<br />
the Sevmash shipyard. The first keel laying<br />
took place mid December last year,<br />
when the Russian winter is at its darkest,<br />
and stood in steep contrast to the warm<br />
and beautiful weather we enjoyed this<br />
time in the middle of the summer. The<br />
Russian hospitality and friendliness,<br />
however, remained the same.<br />
The event attracted a considerable<br />
turnout from Russian media and local<br />
authorities. <strong>Odfjell</strong> was represented by<br />
a delegation led by Chairman of the<br />
Board, Mr. Dan <strong>Odfjell</strong>.<br />
The first ship from Sevmash is scheduled<br />
for delivery fourth quarter 2007.<br />
Many Sevmash employees and members<br />
of the media attended the ceremony<br />
