New ship for Mercy Ships!

Mercy Ships has announced plans to build a new purpose-built hospital ship! The ship will be more than double the size (in terms of GRT) of the Africa Mercy, and will hopefully enter service sometime in 2017! It will be built in China, classed by Lloyd's Register, and will sail under the Maltese flag. For more information on the project, just click here.

This is a very exciting time for Mercy Ships! "Now we can again add the s to Mercy Ships", as a friend of mine said on Facebook. :-)
