Polish Shipyard Gets Orders For Seven Ships

Poland's Szczecin shipyard has reportedly signed a contract for seven container vessels ordered jointly by Chilean firm Compania Chilena Sud America de Vapores (CSAV) and German company Peter Dohle Schiffahrtskontor GmbH&Co (PDS). Sobecki officials did not give the value of the contract, saying only the shipyard has contracts for 38 different vessels to be delivered by 2002, with a total value of $1.35 billion.
