On Friday June 28th, the very first of our new dry cargo vessels, the next-generation Lake Vanern Max, was launched at Scheepswerf Ferus Smit BV in Westerbroek, Netherlands. The vessel was named Lidan, and the naming ceremony was performed by Godmother Benita Skisser.

Miss Benita Skisser is the partner of one of our masters, Oscar Lancing who is a captain in the second generation of officers from the same family sailing on our vessels. Being a family-owned company, we have always believed in the power of tradition, integrity, and forward-thinking. The Lake Vanern Max is a testament to our dedication to being both long-term and innovative. Lidan is not just another addition to our fleet; she represents a significant leap forward in maritime technology.
