\u201cThis moment marks the official start of the assembly of the vessel, and from this point forward, every component added brings us closer to delivering her to our customer after months of preparations,\u201d Royal IHC said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe keel is the backbone of the vessel, and laying it is a proud moment for our team and partners, setting the course for the next phases of assembly. Together with our respected customer Vishwa Samudra Holdings we celebrated this moment with a pooja blessing.\u201d <\/p>\n

The keel was laid by carefully positioning the first modular section of the vessel on top of a coin, a traditional symbol of good fortune for the vessel and her crew.<\/p>\n
