On January 23, the keel-laying ceremony of the floating dock being built for BLRT Grupp took place at the Hat-San Shipyard.
The event was attended by the Estonian Ambassador to Turkey, Annely Kolk, and Deputy Minister of Transport and Infrastructure of Turkey, Selim Dursun.
“To ensure that our customers can access services in a region convenient for them in the future, we have decided to invest in the development of ship repair in Tallinn; a 180-metre long and 30-metre-wide dock currently under construction at the Hat-San Shipyard will be the Tallinn Shipyard’s largest one, giving us the possibility to accommodate Handysize vessels as well,” – said the Chairman of the Management Board of the Tallinn Shipyard Sergei Kravchenko. “The new dock will secure the further expansion of our vessel repair and upgrade capabilities and contribute to reducing environmental impact.”
In his welcome speech, Mustafa Pepe, a Hat-San Shipyard Management Board member, voiced hope that the project will serve as the basis for long-term collaboration between the Turkish shipyard and the BLRT Grupp corporate family.”
