Pioneering the Future of Maritime Operations

At Yemen Dockyard Company Ltd., our vision extends beyond today’s operations—we’re building the future of ship maintenance, repair, and construction. Our upcoming projects are set to revolutionize maritime services by integrating cutting-edge technology, innovative design, and sustainable practices to ensure the highest standards of operational readiness.

Dry Docks for Ship Maintenance & Repair

We have successfully completed all necessary arrangements—designs, feasibility studies, official registration, and securing the ideal land area—to establish a small-scale dockyard for ship maintenance and repair. In the first phase of this transformative project, we will build two dedicated dry docks:

  • Syncrolift Dry Dock:
    Designed to lift ships weighing up to 4,000 tons, this dock will allow for comprehensive on-site maintenance and repairs, ensuring the vessels receive the attention they need.

  • Travel Ship Lift Dry Dock:
    With the capacity to lift boats and floating marine units weighing up to 400 tons, this dock will cater to a broad range of smaller vessels, supporting routine repairs and upgrades.

Upon completion, our focus will be on delivering an extensive suite of maintenance and repair services directly on-site. This will include:

  • Precision metalwork to repair and modify damage to ship hulls, surfaces, tanks, and bows.
  • Repair and refit of bow/sides fender groove plates and flat bars.
  • Overhaul of main engines and generator sets, including engine alignment.
  • Stern tube and A-frame alignment/boring.
  • Rudder housing and blade repair, alignment, and reboring.
  • Re-metalization and re-machining of damaged propeller hubs and blades.
  • Comprehensive repairs to propeller shafts and rudders.
  • Hull surface treatments including blasting, painting, high-pressure washing, anti-fouling, and cathodic protection.
  • Tank cleaning and coating.

While many of our repairs are performed alongside or at anchorage areas, our state-of-the-art dry docks will enable us to carry out extensive repairs and modifications with maximum efficiency.

Future Expansion & Shipbuilding Initiatives

Looking ahead, we recognize that advanced naval capabilities are essential for national sovereignty and economic prosperity. The shipbuilding, maintenance, and repair industry is a vital contributor to local and global economies, driving revenue, creating jobs, and transferring technology.

Our Future Goals:

  • Specialized Shipbuilding & Repair:
    Yemen Dockyards Corporation aims to evolve into a specialized company dedicated to building, repairing, maintaining, refitting, and converting commercial vessels. By establishing our own shipyards, we plan to become a formidable competitor in the region, leveraging the latest technology to extend vessel lifespans and reduce operational costs.

  • Beyond Conventional Shipbuilding:
    Our services will expand to include the manufacture, maintenance, and rehabilitation of vessels used in the onshore and offshore oil and gas sectors. We are committed to designing and constructing advanced vessels that meet the highest operational standards, ensuring our customers receive innovative and sustainable maritime solutions.

Our comprehensive capabilities will include:

  • Design: Creating innovative and efficient vessel blueprints.
  • Manufacturing: Constructing vessels with precision and quality.
  • Assembly/Construction: Seamlessly assembling complex marine systems.
  • Maintenance & Repair: Providing ongoing support to extend vessel life.
  • Overhaul: Offering complete system overhauls to rejuvenate aging assets.
  • Systems Integration: Ensuring all components work in harmony for optimal performance.
