Cochin Shipyard Limited (CSL) and Drydocks World, a DP World company, are deepening their partnership to develop ship repair and offshore fabrication hubs across India. This collaboration follows the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) in Mumbai last month during the visit of Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Defence of the UAE. The MoU was signed in the presence of DP World’s Group Chairman and CEO Sultan Ahmed Bin Sulayem and CSL’s Chairman and Managing Director Madhu S Nair.
To move the partnership forward, a high-level team from Drydocks World, led by CEO Captain Rado Antolovic, visited CSL’s facilities in Kochi on May 1 and 2. The team toured CSL’s Main Yard, the newly commissioned 310 metre Dry Dock, the International Ship Repair Facility (ISRF), and the Marine Engineering Training Institute in Kochi. The two companies have started planning joint work at the ISRF in Kochi as the first project. They also discussed ways to expand the partnership to other parts of the country.
