A New Ship!
Mercy Ships has contracted to build the world’s largest civilian hospital ship! An agreement has been reached with Asian and European shipbuilding firms to purpose-build a new 36,600-GRT hospital ship. Contracts were signed between Mr. Dong Qiang, VP of China Shipbuilding Industry Corporation (CSIC) and Donald K. Stephens, President/ Founder of Mercy Ships, together with Jim Paterson, Senior VP of Mercy Ships Marine Operations.
What I read is this ship is expected to be completed in 2017 - just three years from now! What I wonder is - will this be like the Africa Mercy which was to be completed in 2004 and didn't arrive until 2005?
