Trade Partners

• GSbAG - the megacorporation took a 09% stake in the Murdstone Yards when Vilani megacorporation Zirunkariish arranged mezzazine financing for the Board of Directors and Duke Vincent's family. This ownership / partnership allows GSbAG to refer customers for ships in the 100 to 5000 ton range while retaining larger size construction contracts and more valuable customers. It also allows Murdstone Yards to do reliability testing of its vessels at the GISHMARCo Test & Development facilities in the Gishmarkash (Dagudashaag 3209) system. However, all data acquired from such testing must be shared with GISHMARCo Test & Development.
