ASRY slipways hit 6-vessel simultaneous record
Manama: ASRY, the leading ship and rig repair yard in the Arabian Gulf, recently saw six vessels under repair simultaneously on its dual slipways.
The six vessels, comprising of four tugs, a hopper dredger and a jack-up rig, matched the previous record for number of vessels accommodated simultaneously on the slipways.
The twin slipways, each with a dry berth length of 255 m, are ideal for accommodating offshore service boats, large tugs and supply vessels. [06/03/14]
