RIJEKA, June 29 (Hina) - A tanker, which will be used for the
transport of petroleum products and chemicals, left the slipway in
the Rijeka shipyard "3. Maj" on Saturday. #L#
This is the second ship, built for the Italian company CA.LI.SA.
The company's owner, Marco Novella, expressed dissatisfaction with
the fact that there was a delay in the completion of the building of
the ships his company ordered from the Croatian shipyard. The
delivery of the first ship was one year late, while the 35,000-ton
tanker "Iblea", which was launched today, should have been built a
month ago.
Croatia's Deputy Prime Minister, Slavko Linic, told reporters that
some weak spots in the Croatian shipbuilding industry had not yet
been removed.
Being behind the schedule imposes higher prices which those who
order ships do not want to pay, Linic said adding that it is very
important to have good management in shipyards.
The "3. Maj" shipyard's managing board chairman, Zdenko Marcelja,
declined to comment on the statement of the Italian partner and the
government official.
