Superfast V & VI are the first ships that we designed and built in Howaldtswerke-Deutsche Werft Shipyard (HDW) in Kiel, Germany. The two ships were completed in 2001. They were designed in close co-operation with Alexandros Panagopoulos and the Executive Management Advisor of Attica Group’s Newbuildings & Development Division, Costis Stamboulelis. It took many kilometers of tracing paper, many colorboards of proposed materials until the final selections were made, and a lot of laughter, since very quickly we became a tight team, that would design and supervise many ships in the years that followed.
