We went Socorro, Luis Fernando, Kanna, Gunnar, Andrea, Sandra and Lars. Here is what Mærsk wrote afterwards: "This year’s Family Day at Odense Steel Shipyard took place with record-breaking 10,000 visitors who visited the workshops, ate lunch in the sun and toured the newbuilding ELLY MÆRSK.

Employees at Esplanaden in Copenhagen had received 500 tickets to the event, which were “sold” within a few days. Sunday morning at 9 am, five busses took off towards Funen, and a few hours later the Esplanaden employees and their families got to tour the Yard. Most enjoyed the day and the rare occasion to visit ELLY MÆRSK - the new E-class container vessel.

“We really enjoyed our trip out to OSS yesterday. It was a fantastic opportunity to see their activities from really close, particularly appreciated that people could just walk about anywhere! Unfortunately we did not make it to visit the vessel because of the extremely long queue, but the day was really fantastic,” says John van Breugel, FACT.

This is the first time that employees at Esplanaden have been invited to the Odense Steel Shipyard Family Day that is primarily for the Yard’s own employees. Given this Sunday’s success an initiative has been taken to also invite Esplanaden employees and their families to the next Family Day which will be in 2009."

We had a great and interesting day!
