Lloyd Werft, the German ship refurbishment and conversion specialist owned by Genting Hong Kong, has won an order from a Danish shipping company to lengthen a freight roro vessel.

Primula Seaways, which belongs to DFDS in Copenhagen, will be lengthened by 30 metres from its current length of 199.8 metres over a 30 day period from 1 July. The vessel, which was built in 2004, suffered damage in a collision in December 2015.

The contract includes option for two further vessels.
