摘要：	Global Mercy, the latest ship to join the fleet of hospital charity Mercy Ships later this year, has left the Port of Antwerp for public showcasing in Rotterdam. Here, the large civilian hospital ship will be open to visitors for a first look until mid-March. While the ship was docked at the Port of Antwerp over the past six months, it was fitted with essential equipment and internal furnishings, and was prepared for crewing. "This includes the installation of medical equipment and IT systems, as well as the supply and crewing of the ship for its first mission," the Port of Antwerp stated in a press release. Global Mercy is a unique ship in the passenger class; it is 174 m long, 28.6 m wide, and has a gross tonnage of 37,000. It has 6 operating rooms, 200 beds, a laboratory, general outpatient clinics, and eye and dental clinics. The total area of the hospital department is 7,000 sq m. "There is still a bit more to do before the ship's crew can finish all the technical kitting out, so the ship will sail to south Tenerife for a couple more months and then should arrive for joint celebrations with the Africa Mercy in May," media relations manager for Mercy Ships Diane Rickard told P&H. The first placement of the new ship will be in Dakar, Senegal.
