Portugal, Turkey in Ship Repair Deals

 

Portugal’s Lisnave and Turkey’s Gemak, have also inked repair deals with fleet owners.

 

Nedime Ozoglu, Repair Division Marketing & Estimating, Besiktas Shipyard said that her company has concluded three major deals during the first two days of Posidonia. 

 

Of those, two are repair projects for a tanker and a bulk carrier and the third is a rather significant conversion project for a ROPAX type vessel belonging to an Italian owner, she said.

 

Greek shipowners constitute 80% of our portfolio because of the proximity mainly and because Turkey’s shipbuilding industry has significantly improved its talent pool and expertise recently, Nedime added.
