Jumbo Jubilee Launched Monday, November 24, 2008 On Saturday, the 15th of November, Jumbo’s new J-1800-class heavy lift vessel, MV Jumbo Jubilee, was launched. The event was celebrated at the Damen shipyard Galatz, Romania, where a crowd watched as the brand new ship was floated and moved from the building dock to the quay, were she will be completed in the coming months. The Jumbo Jubilee, being the last of a series of four ships, features only minor improvements in its design.
