The 2007 Alliage 56 DS Promise 4 spent two years at Rivergate Marina & Shipyard in Brisbane during a round-the-world voyage. Owners Graeme and Moira used the stop for a mini refit, storage and inspections before planning to continue toward Europe via the Indian Ocean.
General Dynamics NASSCO christened and launched the USNS Thurgood Marshall (T-AO 211) in San Diego on 4 June. The ship is the seventh vessel in the U.S. Navy’s T-AO fleet oiler program and the fourth still under construction at the yard, which has already delivered five ships in the class.
MV Kilimanjaro IV, an Azam Marine Limited passenger ferry from Dar es Salaam, has docked at Kenya Shipyards Limited’s Mombasa facility for repairs and maintenance. The yard says the shipyard, built in 2020, can handle vessels of up to 4,000 tonnes and has workshops for electrical, engineering, fitting, carpentry and hull work.
