Plastic Boats for Angola Built in Cuba 
  
HAVANA, Cuba, August 15 (acn) A total of 121 plastic boats were built
for Angola at the Shipyard Base (ASTISUR) of central Cienfuegos province
as part of a contract with that African nation. 
 
In statements published by the website of the territoryâs 5 de
Septiembre newspaper, Edgar CÃrdenas, the Shipyardâs business
representative, said that this task is also carried out at a subsidiary
of the Cienfuegos Shipyard by the shores of Lake Hanabanilla. 
 
He explained that the ships are top-quality products. They are four
meters long, he added, and made of reinforced plastic, with the use of
fiberglass.  He also commented that other contracts are planned to be
signed with Angola. 
 
Besides the boats, ASTISUR workers are also building three ships and
repairing a lobster vessel.
