This delivery is part of the strategies that are being developed in the area of fishery, in support of the Company’s programs to strengthen communities.
“I feel really satisfied with the way they fixed my boat and those of the other fishermen. The motorboats fixed by Drummond will help us do our work and will be a support to the other members of the Association,”expressed Wilber Pimienta, a fisherman on the Las Palmeras committee in the municipality of Ciénaga.
