'It's a very challenging and exciting project,' Moroney said, noting that the steel-cutting and keel-laying were on time.
The keel was laid April 28 at a ceremony where Moroney placed an Australian coin, for good luck, beneath the keel.
Officials who were present included Marinko Brgic, a member of the JSC management board, and Marko Moric, ceo, Bureau Veritas, Croatia.
