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.
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:
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.
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:

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.
