Shipyard construction, Turkmenistan
Port development in Turkmenbashi
This new shipyard (430 m x 350 m) on the Caspian Sea, on the edge of the seaport of the city of Turkmenbashi, has a total area of 15 hectares. The water depth at the quay is 7.5 m, and the size of the design ship for which it was built (LxWxH) is 150 x 18 x 6.5 m. Working together with the engineering company Ingenieurtechnik & Maschinenbau GmbH (IMG), Inros Lackner took the lead in the planning and design of the shipyard and in providing consultancy services to the client. The ready-for-use facility was built on a greenfield site, designed from the initial concept, by way of numerous varied structural and infrastructure solutions, to the final equipment details – and the construction monitored. As well as being used to build and repair ships, the facility will also serve to support the offshore industry.
