Theresa Martin was invited by Chemgas to be godmother to the Brisote, a 2,700 cubic metre vessel, which will be used as part of the fleet servicing Flogas in Ireland. Adding a new ship to a fleet is a time of great celebration and following nautical tradition, they are launched with a ceremonial naming of the ship by a specially- selected godmother.
