The visit to Brodosplit, a modern, state-of-the-art shipyard, was very impressive. The quality of construction of the military coastal patrol ships, the various civilian ships, and the construction of non-ships to include the components for maritime windmills and water management components, highlight the depth and talent of the company’s design, engineering, and construction capability, Denny said.

The company clearly meets and exceeds the requirements of clients and leverages years of experience in building high-quality products. I am pleased to observe this innovative Croatian know-how and look forward to highlighting this capability, he added.
