Världens största sjukhusfartyg är levererat


Under torsdagen arrangerades en ceremoni på varvet Xingang Shipyard i Kina för att fira leveransen av världens största sjukhusfartyg, Global Mercy, som nu är redo för avresan mot Europa för fortsatt utrustning.

MV Global Mercy is the world's largest civilian hospital ship, constructed as the first purpose-built floating hospital for humanitarian organization Mercy Ships. The contract to build the vessel was awarded to Stena RoRo, Göteborg, Sweden in 2014. Construction was done by China State Shipbuilding Corporation (CSSC) at the Tianjin Xingang Shipyard, Tianjin, China and was completed in 2021. In 2021, the Global Mercy is scheduled to complete her outfitting in Antwerp, Belgium, and set sail for her maiden voyage to Africa, where she will begin her first field service. Upon delivery, the Global Mercy will more than double the surgical capacity and patient beds of Mercy Ships and have an expected lifespan of 50 years/Wikipedia
