Broker Comments
" At the inception of this construction, significant development was undertaken by Lochin using the knowledge from past designs and constructions and, in particular, the recognised success of the semi-displacement concept. 'Sword' embraces the Lochin ethos in good measure and surpassed the expectations that she would be a true 'Lochin' with a feel good factor. A bonus that cannot be designed or fabricated. She is a true Lochin."
