Symphony Provider is launched at the Feris-Smit Shipyard in Leer, Germany, March 9, 2017.
On Thursday March 9 the Ferus Smit Shipyard in Leer, Germany launched the Symphony Provider, the second in a series of two ECOBOX DP2 vessels that will be delivered to Symphony Shipping.

Watching the video it appears as though the hydraulic pins holding the bow malfunctioned. Thankfully it looks like they were able to be release the hydraulics manually and launched into the water. Ferus-Smit did not address the malfunction in a press release about the launch.
