Goa Shipyard and Garden Reach get commercial export orders

State-owned defence shipbuilders Garden Reach Shipbuilders & Engineers Ltd. and Goa Shipyard Ltd. have been able to secure some commercial export orders in recent days by riding the global shipbuilding wave. This is because ship construction slots in top nations, such as China, South Korea, and Japan, are fully booked until at least 2028, which is pushing fleet owners to consider other destinations, such as India.

The German companies Carsten Rehder Schiffsmakler and Reederei GmbH & Co.KG awarded Garden Reach Shipbuilders & Engineers (GRSE), a warship builder based in Kolkata and listed on the Mumbai Stock Exchange, an export order worth approximately $54 million to construct four multipurpose vessels with a combined capacity of 7,500 metric tonnes (mt) of cargo. There are options in the contract for building four more of these ships.

The boats will have a maximum draft of 6.75 metres and dimensions of 120 metres by 17 metres. To handle bulk, general, and project goods, each vessel will have a single cargo hold. Hatch coverings will be used to transport containers. The ships will be built especially to accommodate many enormous windmill blades on deck.

The next generation trailing suction hopper dredger will be built by Goa Shipyard, according to an order that the Belgium-based dredging business Jan De Nul Group made on June 13 for an unknown sum. The ship is a plug-in hybrid that was made especially to run in tiny harbours.The new ship will be the smallest of the hopper fleet owned by Jan De Nul Group, with a hull length of 79 metres. Its hopper capacity is 2,000 cubic meters. The contract includes an option to construct a second sister vessel.

Chairman and Managing Director B. K. Upadhyay stated that Goa Shipyard had so far exported defence platforms to various countries and had become the largest exporter of defence platforms from India. He mentioned that the prestigious deal with a European client marked a significant step towards diversifying into the global commercial shipbuilding market.

According to Jan Van de Velde, Director of New Building at Jan de Nul Group, the new vessel was described as "a small hopper with big capabilities, tailor-made to perform in small harbours, agile and flexible." He highlighted that, as a DC hybrid plug-in, the vessel was highly innovative and had significant potential to reduce its carbon footprint. Jan De Nul added that the vessel was custom-made to operate in small harbours located in highly populated areas such as marinas, emphasising its high manoeuvrability, minimal emissions, and almost silent operation.
