The launch of the Lady Anna and the particulars of the ship were reported in SWZ Maritime's November issue (Maand Maritiem). Below a video of the launch.

Last week, Jiangsu Yangzijiang Shipbuilding Ltd. launched Yno YZJ2010-931, the Vectis Eagle, the first vessel of the ‘Super Green 8500’ type for Carisbrooke Shipping. It is the first Chinese shipyard to launch a vessel with a Groot Cross-Bow.

With special thanks to Groot Ship Design.

SWZ Maritime editor Hugo Dill has found this footage of some spectacular launches for you to enjoy.

At the moment, the Oleg Strashnov is the largest mono-hull crane vessel and the largest ship ever to be built by IHC Merwede Offshore and Marine. That is why SWZ Maritime’s May edition and offshore special dedicated an article to this special ship. SWZonline offers you some extra material.

Watch the Oleg Strashnov being built below (video provided by Seaway Heavy Lifting).

The Oleg Strashnov was launched on August 22, 2009. Below two videos of the launch.
