The Safmarine Sahara - Safmarine’s second newly built, owned multi-purpose vessel (MPV) - was officially named on Friday (February 10) in Savannah, Georgia, USA.
The vessel, built at the Wuhu Xinlian Shipyard in China in 2010, is currently deployed on Safmarine’s MPV trade between North America and West Africa.
The naming of the new MPV vessel coincided with the delivery of Safmarine’s first new WAF MAX container vessel, the Safmarine Chilka.
“The Safmarine Chilka is the first of three new containerships in our colours and livery this year. All three vessels have been purpose-built for the trade with Africa,” Grant Daly, Safmarine CEO, said.
