Dockyard to build tug, barge for the Maldives

Colombo Dockyard PLC (CDPLC) signed an agreement for the construction of a eight-ton bollard pull tug and a 45m flat top barge for the State Trading Organisation PLC (STO) of the Republic of Maldives.

Managing Director and CEO Ranil Wijegunawardena and Managing Director of State Trading Organisation PLC, Ahmed Shaheer signed the agreement at the STO head office in Male. Colombo “Dockyard has been one of the trustworthy shipbuilders for the Maldivian shipping fraternity and this is a significant project, as it further strengthens the relationship between the two nations. All previously built vessels such as coastal surveillance vessels, fire fighting boats, fast landing craft, landing craft and fisheries protection vessels built for several Maldivian institutions provide yeoman service to its owners,” a company spokesman said.

The design of this tug has been developed by a Macduff Ship Design Ltd of UK. The tug is a general work boat originally designed and built for Perth Harbour. The original design has been customised to suit STO’s operational needs and will be built to meet the rules and regulations of the Indian Register of Shipping. The tug will be classed to IRS+SUL tug (restricted water service), IY notation.

The length of the tug will be 13 metres, breadth, moulded 5.40 metres, depth 2.47 metres, bollard pull eight tonnes and speed nine knots.
