Fast Gilles Launched in Yichang, China

At Damen Yichang Shipyard in China, Gilles Scheers proudly became godfather of the Damen 3850 shortsea vessel 'Fast Gilles'. Where the vessel was launched.

A moment of tradition and a glimpse into the future. Gilles is the grandson of Fast Lines' late founders, Herman Scheers and Simonne Vervoort. Seeing the next generation step into this symbolic role and carry forward their legacy makes this moment even more special for Fast Lines. And as if that wasn’t enough, Gilles also celebrated his 18th birthday just last week. From coming of age to becoming a ship’s godfather that’s what we call an unforgettable week. Fast Lines wishes both Fast Gilles and Gilles fair winds.
