Project Component

The facilities to be constructed would enable the SPV to provide three main services i.e., ship repair and marine engineering, dry dock, and fabrication works, some detail descriptions of the above facilities are as follows:

(a)   Syncrolift Ship lift; The Syncrolift Ship lift is designed to accommodate 12 vessels/ships of less than 200 meters on its open yard at any one time. Thus, with an estimated average duration for each vessel of 5 days, the Project can accommodate about 50 vessels/ships (based on average of 1 week for each vessel/ship for easy calculation) in a month.

Ships of smaller size can be repaired without the need to enter dry docking. Such ships are berth at Syncrolift Ship lift before they are pulled on rail tracks to dry yard. The process in ship repair and marine engineering works for ships/ vessels starts with the owner of the ship asking the service provider to provide a quote for a list of works to be done. While the construction of the Syncrolift Ship lift and dry dock is underway, the Project will use a floating dry dock with LOA of 97.5m and width of 24.4m to kick off its business.

(b)   Dry Dock is a structured area where building, repairing and maintenance of vessels and boats are carried out. Dry docks are designed to allow water to be filled up or pumped out, thereby enabling repair work on vessels to be done on a dry platform. The proposed dry dock will occupy an area of about twenty (20) acres. It will be of 210m lengths, width of 55m and depth of 7m with a 10,000 deck strength capacity. The dry dock is designed to take one (1) vessel at any one time. On an average docking time of ten (10) days per vessel, the dockyard has the capacity to take thirty-six (36) vessels in a year.

           

Vessels with more than 150m lengths need to be dry docked before repair maintenance work can be carried out. The Project is designed to accommodate only one vessel/ship at any one time. Base on average of ten (10) days per vessel/ship, the Project can undertake repair and maintenance work on average of three (3) large vessel/ships each month.

(c)   Open Yard; The open yard is designed for the Project to undertake fabrication works where items are made from raw or semi-finished materials through processes involving cutting, bending and assembling. The company proposed to have two lots with a combined area of about 37 acres for the fabrication works.

(d)   Bunkering Facilities; Bunkering facilities for supply of diesel, fresh water and sludge clearance will also be constructed.

(e)   Corporate / Administration Facilities; There will be a corporate office building that serves as the central administration building for the Project. The building will be of 12-storey and specially designed   to have minimal impact of the strong sea winds. Besides the corporate office building, other building will also be built such as a 3-storey building to house its HSE unit, fire department & security unit, another 3-storey building to house its engineering operation unit, a guard house, canteen and a surau.
