Project Overview and Remarks
UZMAR Chairman of the Board A. Noyan Altuğ stated: “We weld the UZMAR name onto every vessel we build. This name represents all of us, from our designers to our welders, engineers, and captains. Montrose was born in Turkiye but will operate in Scotland, carrying our pride across the seas. We are not merely transferring ownership; we are delivering a vessel built by seafarers, for seafarers.”
