BAKU, Azerbaijan, September 22. The
construction of new tankers at the Baku Shipyard is progressing on
schedule under an order from ASCO, part of AZCON Holding, the
company stated, Trend reports.
ASCO notes that work on one of the tankers is 27 percent
complete, while the other two are around 22 percent finished. The
