Romanian river ships during an exercise in June 2019.
It was an excellent opportunity to test the new engines. The old roumanian engines have been replaced this year with south korean Doosan engines.

Serbian navy monitor SAVA (ex. austro-hungarian BODROG) was restored last year. Despite severe economic difficulties, Serbia has financed the project.
Well done!
