In line with the contract signed between the university and the shipyard on 15 November, the vessel should be built by the end of 2014, the official gazette Valstybės Žinios reported on Wednesday.
This turnkey order was quite challenging, the shipyard’s CEO, Vitalijus Frolovas, said earlier.
According to the data made available in the Central Public Procurement Portal, a consortium of Finland’s Undenkaupungin Tyovene and Lithuania’s Baltseta also vied for this order but its bid failed to meet the tender requirements.
