SUBIC, Philippines - South Korean firm Hanjin Heavy Industries Corporation on Tuesday started a five-day sea trial for the first-ever ship it built from its massive US$1.6 billion shipbuilding facility here Subic Bay. Hanjin, whose projects in Subic and Misamis were alleged to have been tainted with anomalies, said the sea trial in the South China Sea is being conducted before the ship's delivery to Greece in June. It said the ship temporarily designated its the newly-constructed ship as PN-001, and will be later named Argolikos. The ship will fly a Greek flag, calling Piraeus, Greece as its home port.
