Colombo Dockyard constructs more vessels

 

The Colombo Dockyard is constructing the second vessel of a series of 130 Ton Bollard Pull Anchor Handling Tug Supply Vessels (AHTSV).

The first vessel of the series is under construction and is scheduled for delivery by mid-2011 and the second vessel is scheduled for delivery in the third quarter of 2011.

The vessels perform supply duties between offshore units, handle anchors, and work with pipe laying barges, semi submersibles and other moored offshore structures.
They are also meant to tow barges, semi submersibles and other vessels in the offshore oil and gas industry.

Over the past few years, Colombo Dockyard operating in joint collaboration with Onomichi Dockyard Company of Japan has accumulated a wealth of experience in building vessels for the offshore sector.

It is now well poised to meet any kind of requirement that may arise in the offshore oil exploration activities being carried out in the Sri Lankan waters and offer its expertise.
