A Speech by Vadym Novynskyi During the Ceremonial Ship Launching, Dedicated to the 65th Anniversary of the Kherson Shipyard
Dear Kherson residents! Dear plant workers, veterans and guests! I congratulate you on this remarkable date – the 65th anniversary of the founding of our plant in 1951. Over 300 vessels have been built during this period, including the 40 vessels produced over the past decade. It is notable that a new vessel is being launched today, on the anniversary, as a response to those who do not believe in the prospects for the shipbuilding industry.
