Andrew James from Ovenstones confirmed on 10th October 2008 that the 1800 tonne ship MV Baltic Trader had been secured to provide the essential transport of personnel and cargo for the fishing factory rebuild.

See full statement and details of the ship on the Shipping News Page. In addition the ship will bring a new heavy duty crane and may be involved in shipping materials for the next phase of the harbour refurbishment

In an upbeat announcement Andrew James concludes :

Despite the lengthy search for a suitable vessel, and various other challenges that Ovenstone and The Apple Group have faced, I remain confident that all the civil and engineering work planned for the 2008/09 summer season can be completed on schedule and that we can enjoy a factory opening ceremony when the Governor visits in April 2009.
