NAMING CEREMONY
Achouak was tremendously honoured, stating, “More than two decades ago, I started my career in the towage industry working for TOS, and I remember that the first time I ever boarded a tug, it was a Fairplay tug. Therefore, it is with profound gratitude and immense pride that I stand before you today, honoured to name this magnificent tug built by the reputable Damen Shipyards. For over 20 years, I’ve had the privilege of working alongside the remarkable individuals who make up the backbone of Fairplay, assisting them with what they need to carry out their duties with unwavering dedication and pride.”
Achouak named the vessel FAIRPLAY-92 and wished all crews safe travels, smooth sailing, and a happy return to port.
