20.06 07 The first two Diamond 53 handymax bulkers built in Vietnam have successfully entered service. The Graiglas and the Florence were delivered from Vinashin’s Nam Trieu and Ha Long yards in July, and as the biggest and most advanced ships ever built in Vietnam are the tangible product of the close co-operation between Vinashin, Graig and the members of the Diamond consortium.

20.06 06 A unique double-hull handysize bulk carrier design has been launched, with an eight-ship order in Vietnam. Graig has contracted four Graig Carl Bro-designed Diamond 34 bulkers, with four options, to be built at Vinashin’s Pha Rung shipyard. Delivery dates begin in mid 2007.
