The "Balkan" Shipbuilding and Ship Repair Yard (NTZ Avaza) launched its first domestically produced dry cargo vessel, the "Gadamly".

The "Gadamly", with a deadweight of 6,100 tons and a length of 123 meters, fully complies with international technical and operational standards. According to Eziz Matdyev, Deputy Chief Engineer at the "Balkan" Shipyard, the vessel is capable of carrying up to 240 cargo containers and operating autonomously for up to four days. It is equipped with modern navigation and high-tech equipment, and its crew consists of 14 highly qualified specialists.
