Lisnave yard celebrates a year of stability
Portuguese ship repair yard LISNAVE has reported a stable year for 2013, despite the imbalance between supply and demand within the freight markets and associated cost containment from ship owners. LISNAVE repaired a total of 107 vessels in 2013 – of which 103 were docked and four were repaired afloat.
Although this represented a 6% increase in the number of vessels repaired compared to the previous year (101 ships in 2012), there was a decrease in workload per vessel. Vessels repaired were from 60 different customers, from 23 countries around the world, among which are: Singapore with 29 vessels, Greece with 20, the UK with eight, Norway and Denmark with seven and Germany with six.
Continuing to benefit from a high percentage value of repeat business, in 2013 AP Moller-Maersk (Singapore and Denmark) had the biggest number of repairs (14), followed by TEEKAY (UK, Norway and Singapore) with seven ships and AET with six.
With drydock and equipment facilities, LISNAVE repaired a wide variety of ship types, with tankers (61), container ships (19) and LNG/LPG (seven) in addition to offshore supply vessels, dredgers, etc.
In terms of demand and workload, among the most significant repairs performed in 2013, were the offshore platform Lewek Leader of Singapore, with the manufacturing and assembly of a new spudcam, the container vessel ex- Maersk Brownseville, with the complete replacement of the bulbs bow, the Danish chemical vessel Harbour Krystal, with bow damage repairs involving the replacement of 160 Tons of steel, the barge Saipem S44 with numerous works of preparation and structural modification for a new offshore project and the seismic vessel Ramform Sovereign of the Norwegian company PGS, with relevant scientific systems maintenance work.
For 2014, with the unpredictability that continues to characterise the situation of the world economy, it is expected that LISNAVE, once again, will continue to be successful, in the highly competitive market of ship maintenance and repair activity.
