Large tankers return to ASRY

摘要

Following a quiet year in 2010 for large tanker repairs at Bahrain's Arab Shipbuilding & Repair Yard (ASRY), the first quarter of 2011 has seen operators of ULCC/VLCCs return to the Arabian Gulf yard in large numbers. In fact, the first quarter of 2011 saw ASRY repair a total of 73 vessels which included 10 tankers and two LPG carriers. During 2010 the yard repaired a total of 203 vessels. The company asserts that the recent short period of civil unrest in the Kingdom of Bahrain had no adverse effect on its shiprepair operations. It was in fact business as usual at the yard with ships from both the international and local markets continuing to be repaired on time and to budget.
