Gulf Repairs Firm

摘要

Ship repair in the Emirates is good business, for both major repair yards and those in niche sectors. "The repair business remains buoyant at Drydocks World-Dubai," a spokeswoman told Solutions. Business is up 20% by volume this year on last and the yard is repairing a wide range of vessels. Business is also good for specialist repairers. "We're very busy. In fact, we don't see any softness in the market. Emergency repairs - you cannot get away with them and we are mainly involved in that. There are lots of port calls, so we are busy. We are mainly involved in diesel engines and auxiliaries and it's mainly wear and tear," said Paul Friedberg, president of Goltens Worldwide.
