Successful launching of "MOTION SCAN"

Date: 6 October

On Friday the 30th of September at 14.22 hours Yard number 903 the "MOTION SCAN" has been launched at Peters Shipyards in Kampen. The spectacular ceremony was followed by a large number of spectators on a day full of sun and a clear blue sky.

The “MOTION SCAN” is the third vessel in the Sole 10.000 series and another three sister vessels are currently on order.

Delivery of the “MOTION SCAN” is scheduled in November and the other vessels will be delivered at six months interval. The innovative Sole 10.000 has been designed and developed by Canada Feeder Lines (CFL) and Peters Shipyards. The ship is equipped with a strait bow, the superstructure is mirrored and reversed and therefore located further sternwards. Most of the tanks are located at the sides of the ship. These adaptations mean that streamlining has been improved, and there is more space created below decks.
