- OKT Shipping Ltd. continues its global representation role for Sefine Shipyard
In a landmark development for Turkey’s ship repair and construction capabilities, Sefine Shipyard has officially launched operations at its new 360-meter-long floating dock, welcoming its first vessel. The new dock—measuring 58 meters in internal width and boasting a lifting capacity of 75,000 tons—is now among the largest in the region and represents a pivotal step in the yard’s global expansion strategy.
Growing Dock Portfolio Strengthens Global Offerings
With the addition of Dock No.3, Sefine Shipyard now operates three major docks, enhancing its ability to handle a diverse range of complex projects:
- Dock No.1: Graving dock (240m x 42m) for Post-Panamax vessels up to 90,000 DWT
- Dock No.2: Aframax floating dock (282m x 47m) for vessels up to 120,000 DWT
- Dock No.3: Newly introduced floating dock (360m x 58m) with 75,000-ton lifting capacity
This new infrastructure investment positions Sefine as a premier regional hub for ship repair, conversion, and maintenance of large commercial vessels.
A Global Vision for Growth
The floating dock’s commissioning not only underscores Sefine’s long-term growth strategy but also signals Turkey’s intent to play a greater role in the global ship repair and shipbuilding sectors. The dock enables the shipyard to attract larger, more technically demanding projects, reinforcing its reputation for quality and innovation.
