Debmarine Namibia acquires N$2.3bn diamond exploration vessel

Namibia-based marine diamond mining giant Debmarine Namibia on Monday took ownership of the SS Nujoma, the sixth ship in its fleet of diamond mining and exploration vessels, from Norwegian shipbuilder Kleven Verft. The 113-m-long ship was built in Norway and will embark on its maiden voyage for Cape Town later this week, to be outfitted with exploration equipment, including a technologically advanced sampling system and treatment plant. It is expected to arrive late-August, with final commissioning and testing expected in early 2017.
