Factoids

No. 5 - Ulidia The yard's first ever 'float out' of a vessel - as opposed to a launch down a slipway - proved a difficult and frustrating exercise, however. For two days the procedure had been hampered by high winds which prevented moving the cumbersome vessel out of the dock, but eventually the work was completed without a hitch.
