Hagland Poseidon Naming Ceremony and Launching
Hagland Poseidon was today christened and launched at the Royal Bodewes shipyard in the Netherlands. The godmother, Siri Wendelbo Johansen, successfully broke the bottle, and the vessel was launched sideways into the canal as planned. Completion is expected after sea trials in mid to late August 2026. A second vessel is scheduled for delivery around Christmas, with the final vessel in the series to follow in the first half of 2027. Like the greek God Poseidon, Hagland Poseidon symbolizes strength, reliability, and respect for the ocean. With this vessel, we continue advancing our commitment to safer and more environmentally responsible short-sea shipping.
