Trinidad & Tobago shipbuilding and repair strategic plan issued
The Trinidad and Tobago Shipbuilding and Repair Cluster (S&R), an initiative of the government, recently submitted its strategic plan for the development of the domestic ship repair and shipbuilding industry to the new minister of trade and industry.
The strategic plan highlights the recent possibility of using the newly built 300m (former Alutrint) deepwater dock, located in La Brea, south-western Trinidad. This dock has a water depth of 12m and would be capable of repairs and service of up to Panamax-sized ships, adjacent to where offshore oil and gas platforms are currently being built at the Trinidad Offshore Fabricators Company (TOFCO) shipyard. Included also are a number of recent enquiries received to date which includes the wet-docking of a 116m DP2 reeled-pipelay barge from Texas and the dry-docking of a 121m LNG carrier for Bernhard Schulte Shipmanagement.
