BalTic Klipper<br />
After nine months of hard work, from first steel cutting to the last details, the mv Baltic Klipper was delivered by Kitanihon<br />
Shipbuilding Co. Ltd in Hachinohe, Japan to her new Owners on 7 September <strong>2010</strong>.<br />
The small delivery ceremony at the yard was attended by representatives from the shipyard, the financing bank, <strong>Seatrade</strong> and<br />
other friends of the company. According to local custom, a Shinto priest blessed the vessel during the Shinto ceremony, in which<br />
various of the guests assisted. The ceremony ended with the ribbon cutting, which resulted in the release of festive balloons and<br />
confetti as well as an impressive blowing of the vessel’s horn.<br />
After signing the official documents in the brand new Captain’s conference room, a toast was raised to the ship. The ship then<br />
set sail for New Zealand on her maiden voyage, waived goodbye by all attending, where after the guests enjoyed a celebratory<br />
lunch hosted by Kitanihon.<br />
