SWEDISH shipping giant Greencarrier has purchased The Swedish Ship Gotheborg, a replica of a 17th century square-rigged East Indiaman, said a company press release.
"The ship fits well into the Greencarrier group and the values we represent," said Stefan Bjork, owner and chairman of Greencarrier. "We see the ship as an excellent platform to promote Swedish business and culture."
The purpose of the acquisition is twofold, partly to ensure future voyages for example Asia and China and partly to create further opportunities for trade with Asia.
Said Greencarrier CEO Johan Jemdahl: "With the acquisition, we are broadening our portfolio to also include trading operations with Asia."
The company hopes to be able to carry out limited sailings during 2021, and sail to Asia and China in 2022. The departure to China is planned for April and will go via a number of stops in the Mediterranean, the Suez Canal, India and several more port stops in the far east before arriving China.
