"Bima Suci" the largest school ship of the Viguese naval is delivered by Freire to Indonesia

300 workers were employed in the construction of the ship that will take 70 days to reach its destination in South-East Indonesia

The Bouzas-based shipyard in the City of Vigo, Naval Constructions P.Freire, has built the largest school ship in the naval history of the Ria de Vigo and that it delivered this week to the Indonesian Navy. It is a luxurious finish ship with 110 meters in length and 13.5 in sleeve. The "Bima Suci" has cost about 70 million euros and is planning to leave for the Asian country in the next few days. In the act of launch were among other authorities, the president of the Galician executive Alberto Núñez Feijóo, the Viguese mayor Abel Caballero, the Minister of Defence of Indonesia Purnomo Yusgiantoro and the general director of the Viguese shipyard, Marcos Freire.

During the ship's act of delivery, the president of the Xunta de Galicia, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, stated that the current portfolio of orders of the Galician shipyards, 40% of those built in Spain, notes the commitment of the Galician naval industry to diversification and technological innovation as a presentation card and brand image. In the first half of the year, seven vessels left the Galician stands, and the Community also leads the number of contracts achieved throughout Spain in the same period, with 47% of the total. "Today, talking about the Galician naval is talking about tugs, fishing, oceanographic ships, ferris, luxury cruises or marine wind," said the president of the Galician government, influencing that technological specialization, strengthening international prestige and strengthening its competitiveness are the commitments of the sector.
