Nothing if not versatile: innovation and optimism driving resurgence in Turkey's shipbuilding industry

摘要

Based in northwestern Turkey, the Tersan shipyard is building the country's biggest ever floating dock, and one of its most advanced. At 284 m long and 51 m wide, the dock will be able to accommodate large vessels, such as Aframax medium-sized tankers. The project is a statement of confidence in an industry that until recently faced a very uncertain future.
