Vard CEO and Executive Director Roy Reite, said, "We welcome our new customer Buksér og Berging to Vard, and we look forward to cooperating with their team. Our shipyard in Braila has a long shipbuilding tradition going back many decades. Building on this experience, certain types of vessels are being delivered fully outfitted from Vard Braila. The yard has delivered several tugs during the last few years, and our team in Braila is proud to have secured the new contract for Buksér og Berging."
