Her godmother is Mrs. Rositsa Vladimirova – Chief Accountant of IHB Shipping, who named the vessel „Diamond Sky”. The ship is 55 304 DWT bulk carrier and is the third one of Future-56 series ever built at Bulyard Shipbuilding Industry EAD under the supervision of NKK. The construction license for ships Future-56, type Supramax was purchased from the Japanese company IHI Marine United and upon its realization at Bulyard new technologies in the design and production were applied. The main part of the equipment is produced in Japan and supplied by Mitsubishi Corporation. The main characteristics of the ships of this type are functionality in maintenance and service. In 2011 the first sister ship was delivered on a ceremony to the Turkish company Diler Shipping & Trading. The second sister ship was delivered later the same year to Industrial Holding Bulgaria.
