GREETINGS FROM THE MANAGEMENT

Dear Readers, Welcome to our second issue of our Group Newsletter. In this issue we would like to share with you our latest news and upcoming plans for the remainder of 2019.

Our Shipyard repositioned a 490-tones crane on the deck of an OSV including numerous repairs, refits and Newbuilding projects, which will follow in the next issues. Our Towage and Salvage department continues with demanding projects on human life, cargo and vessel safety.

We further undertake that we will keep going further with trust and leading values: integrity, respect, quality and teamwork.

Update on the construction of New Port Terminal in Northwestern EgyptThanks to the excellent spirit and cooperation from the Marine Engineering and Construction department of Spanopoulos Group, it required only 6 months to deliver a fully operation quay of 1,000 meters for the Gargoub New Port in Northwest Egypt.

For achieving the above in the desired timeframe, the operation required 3 crane barges, 2 tugboats and 3 rock supply barges, which were mobilized on site to support all the related project works.

Detached Breakwater ConstructionAfter 2 weeks from signing the contract, our Marine Engineering & Construction department commenced the works for the Roquebrune detached Breakwater project. The specific environmental conditions of the project, located on the borders of Monaco and France, required a special execution plan to be set up for the protection and respect of the environment.

The purpose of this particular project was to protect the shoreline as well as the related onshore infrastructures and buildings.

“Greek Maritime Golf Event” teams, consisted of distinguished executives of the Greek shipping community, who enjoyed the game and the summer conditions at The Dunes Course and The Bay Course among century-old olive trees overlooking the Ionian Sea and the historic Bay of Navarino.

The Golf tournament began on Saturday, June 8, in the morning, with participants competing on both team and individual levels in a shotgun scramble at The Dunes Course.

The day concluded with a cocktail, the gala dinner and award ceremony hosted by basketball legend Joe Arlauckas. At the successful event, a respectful amount was collected, and the profits were donated to the union of non-profit NGOs “Together for Children”.

New Hellenic Shipyards S.A. recently carried out successfully a conversion on M/V “Ariadne”. The works took place at Salamis Shipyard.

During the works the MacGregor Crane was repositioned astern to the open deck area.

For the execution of the project, Spanopoulos Group’s Floating Crane “Sea Jack” was used with precision in order to lift and reinstall the crane to a new position.

It is worth mentioning the “SEA JACK” was recently purchased by the Spanopoulos Group and is one of the largest floating renger cranes located in Europe.

Our shipyard faced the challenge to replace a great deal of steel works, within a short time schedule, under strict supervision whilst keeping to high quality standards.
