NORDEN
- Naming of m.v. NORD MARINER - 28th August 2006
On Monday 28th August 2006 NORDEN took delivery of the m.v. NORD
MARINER, the first of three ships to be built by Chengxi Shipyard
in Jiangyin.
The contract for the new ship was signed on 30th November 2005.
On this occasion SMU students and teachers had been in attendance
to join in the celebrations and also to receive scholarship awards
from NORDEN, so it was appropriate that they should attend the
welcome dinner on the eve of the delivery of the first new ship.
NORDEN hosted the dinner at Yin in Shanghai on Sunday 27th August.
Students and staff from SMU mingled with NORDEN executives and
board members and enjoyed a fantastic 18-course dinner.
On Monday 28th August, NORDEN staff, guests and students and
teachers from SMU travelled to Jiangyin to attend the formal naming
of m.v. NORD MARINER. The ceremony took place in searing heat
on the West berth of Chengxi Shipyard. Mrs Gu Xiu Fang, wife of
President Yu Shicheng from SMU, took the honours for the naming.
Later the same day, all guests attended a formal banquet organised
by Chengxi Shipyard.
The whole delegation returned to Shanghai on Tuesday 19th August,
where NORDEN guests and executives attended a final lunch at Chinoise
Story before departing Shanghai.
