(With photo album/videos) SWZ Maritime's summer issue, to appear later this week, contains a detailed description of Chevalier Floatels new ships, the DP Galyna and DP Gezina. This news post contains some extra material gathered by SWZ Maritime editor Gerrit de Boer.
In eight months time, Holland Shipyards converted former luxury ferries Simara Ace and Siluna Ace into Service Support Vessels DP Gezina and DP Galyna. The ferries were completely overhauled as well as lengthened by 9 m and became 2 m wider.
