The contract will entail a workload for the 14-month-old Viguese yard, and 800,000 hours of work.

The prestigious Viguese Vulcan shipyard has closed with a shipowner the sale of the ferry that has to be built. The contract will be in effect in the coming weeks. In particular, the completion of the ship involves a total of 800,000 hours of work, occupying the shipyard for 14 months.
