Drydock World delegation with Cochin Shipyard officials
A high-level delegation from Drydocks World, a DP World company, visited Cochin Shipyard as part of strengthening their collaboration to boost India’s ship repair and offshore fabrication facilities.
The delegation led by Chief Executive Officer, Captain Rado Antolovic toured CSL’s main yard, the newly commissioned 310 metre dry cock, the International Ship Repair Facility (ISRF), and the Marine Engineering Training Institute in Kochi.
Building on the MoU signed last month in Mumbai, the partnership aims to bring global best practices to India’s maritime sector and expand capacity in line with the country’s national goals.
In-depth discussions with CSL’s senior leadership, led by CMD Madhu S Nair, focused on operationalizing the MoU and identifying both immediate and long-term opportunities. The two sides aim to commence joint work at the ISRF in Kochi as a first step, with plans to expand collaboration across India.
The partnership is set to play a pivotal role in developing a world-class ship repair ecosystem to serve both domestic and international fleets. It will also bolster India’s offshore fabrication capabilities and support marine engineering training and skilling initiatives.
These efforts align with the Government of India’s Maritime India Vision 2030 and Amrit Kaal Vision 2047, which seek to position India as a global maritime hub with modern infrastructure, advanced technology, and a skilled workforce.
Madhu S Nair, Chairman and Managing Director, CSL said “the visit marks an important step in strengthening our collaboration under the MoU signed and we look forward to working together to unlock new opportunities in the ship repair domain.”
Captain Rado Antolovic said: “by combining our global expertise with CSL’s local strength, we are laying the foundation for a world-class ship repair and offshore fabrication ecosystem in India. This is a long-term commitment to foster innovation, generate skilled employment, and contribute to India’s vision for a self-reliant and globally competitive maritime sector by 2030 and beyond.”
