Shipyard Oka to build multi-purpose vessel for Tuapse Commercial Seaport
Okskaya Sudoverf (Shipyard Oka) will build new multi-purpose vessel for Tuapse Commercial Seaport OJSC to replace three time-expired vessels of the port: bilge water removing, oil recovery and bunkering vessels which are to be decommissioned under the mid-term programme for renovation of the company’s fleet in 2012-2015, TCS press center informs.
Several Russian and foreign shipyards including DAMEN participated in the tender for implementation of the project valued at RUB 240 mln.
The Russian shipyard was chosen after a deep insight into the well established production and technologies of Shipyard Oka enabling it build a modern highly-maneuverable multi-purpose vessel which can perform comprehensive servicing of vessels in the water area of port Tuapse.
