SAL Heavy Lift hoists German flag on six ships

The Svenja is the first vessel that was reflagged to the German flag
The first vessel to raise the German flag was the Svenja on September 22nd and the five other vessels having their flags changed are the Trina, Anne-Sofie, Regina, Maria and Wiebke.
“It was a logical consequence,” declared Toshio Yamazaki, SAL Heavy Lift CEO. “A German family owned business with German built vessels operated by many German officers and now provided by all the advantages of a German flag.”
Sebastian Westphal, the company’s corporate director Ship Management added: “In view of the many benefits of the German flag, we decided to initiate the reflagging process. I know our crew on board is proud to hoist the German flag.”
