Swan’s shipyard has resumed operations with the successfully refit of an Indian Coast Guard fast patrol vessel.
India’s Swan Energy Limited (SEL) said that it successfully resumed operations at its Shipyard (Reliance Naval and Engineering Limited or RNEL).
Swan’s shipyard has commenced refit of ships at its establishment, according to the company’s release.
Indian Coast Guard’s fast patrol vessel, Raj Ratan, is the first repair project, which began on September 4. The project has been completed ahead of schedule, on November 30.
The refit was executed in association with Sadhav Offshore Engineering Pvt. Ltd.
The dry docking and refit of this ship marks a significant milestone in the revival of the Shipyard, after SEL took over its management control earlier this year through NCLT.
As part of the comprehensive refit of the ICG vessel, Swan’s shipyard provided end to end services, including berthing and dry docking, along with critical yard services essential for the vessel’s overhaul.
Swan’s Shipyard is also gearing up to commence its shipbuilding operations at the facility.
Vivek Merchant, director of Swan’s Shipyard, said “The resumption of operations at our shipyard marks the successful culmination of our dedicated efforts to rejuvenate this strategic facility.
“Delivering our first Indian Coast Guard vessel underscores our commitment to enhancing India’s ship repair and shipbuilding capabilities.”
Swan’s shipyard measures 662 meters by 65 meters, whilst the dry dock is equipped, as the company said, “with a 600-tonne SWL goliath crane.”
