With a total production area of 260,000 m², the shipyard is equipped with advanced industrial infrastructure designed to support high-tonnage vessel construction.
The facility includes 20,000 m² of semi-enclosed and 50,000 m² of enclosed production areas, supported by a hull workshop with a fully automated panel and profile production line. Its 60 x 360 meter main slipway, integrated with a 510-ton gantry crane, enables the construction of large-scale vessels, while a secondary 30 x 150 meter slipway allows for smaller tonnage projects to be delivered with the same level of engineering precision and production discipline.
