Damen Shipyards Asia Pacific sales manager Michiel Hendrikx said: "This second order for a Damen Fast Ferry from Seaspovill is important, as it is the first new delivery of a ferry to South Korea since the tragic sinking of the Sewol ferry in the country last year.

"Seaspovill have acted commendably in investing in a new, safety-conscious vessel at the earliest opportunity. In doing this the company has demonstrated to its passengers and to the South Korean authorities that it sees safety as the highest possible priority."
