Ship Repair Sector

The ship repair business in the country, on the other hand, has a bright market potential as ship repair activities still continue to dominate the operations of the shipyards. Considering the age of the domestic and overseas fleet and the increased shipping traffic in the country, it makes repair services in great demand. A total of 1,035 vessels of which 879 are domestic vessels and 156 are foreign vessels, were drydocked / repaired in local yards in 2002, with a total capacity of 489,498.09GT and 3,169,584.30GT, respectively.
