Pipavav Shipyard (PSL) is all set to construct a new dry dock in Gujarat, which is expected to be the world’s biggest dock to undertake repair and maintenance of vessels operating in the region. The company is eyeing business from domestic and international shipping lines that ply through the busy sea route between Dubai and Colombo.

The work on the new dry dock, which is about 680m in length and 60m wide, is expected to begin in a couple of months and may cost over Rs 1,000 crore. Over 15,000 ships annually ply the busy route between Dubai and Colombo. The company is expecting to grab sizeable repair and maintenance work from these shipping lines. It is also expecting to offer our services to India, US and NATO Navy that operate in the Arabian Sea, Indian Ocean and China Bay regions.

PSL is planning to enhance its capability to build and repair (dry dock & afloat) most kinds of commercial dry and liquid cargo ships such as: very large crude carriers (VLCC), capsize bulk carriers, Suezmax tankers, Aframax tankers, Panamax bulk carrier and tankers, container ships, chemical tankers, dredgers, platform supply vessels and anchor handling tugs.

Recently, PSL bagged a Rs 2,600 crore order for building off-shore patrol vessels for the Indian Navy. This will be the company’s first foray into the defence sector. The company’s order book currently stands at over Rs 7,000 crore. crackcrack
