Two new MIMRA vessels donated by Japan, the MV Bokak and MV Bikar, were dedicated and christened during a ceremony last Friday at the dock by Marshall Islands Marine Resources Authority HQ.

MIMRA crew for the two vessels underwent training in December. Now that they have been christened, they will be put into service for the fisheries-related transport to and from the outer islands.
