On May 31st 2012 the Christening Ceremony of the second multi-purpose platform supply vessel of MMC 887 CP design, built for the one of the biggest Owners in Singapore, took place at Remontowa Shipbuilding yard in Poland. The first vessel of the same type left the Shipyard two months ago. After the traditional breaking of the champagne bottle, the vessel was named “Lewek Aquarius”.
