Nass Marine Services enters shiprepair

摘要

Bahrain's Nass Marine Services, part of the Nass Group, is gearing up to relaunch itself as a shiprepair company following the investment in a new slipway and lateral transfer system. Senior company executives told Seatrade Maritime Review in mid-January that the main civil works for the slipway project were 80-85% complete and the winches were due to arrive from the UK 'within five or six weeks.' Construction work is planned to be finished by the end of March and, following a month of commissioning and trialling, the firm will look to accept its first repair orders from May. 'Shipowners keep calling us to ask when we will be ready to take their vessels,' says Sami Nass, deputy chairman and md, Nass Group. 'We don't want to start until we are confident we are capable.'
