Government-owned Oman Drydock Company (ODC) announced the successful completion earlier this week of its first dry-docking project in joint venture partnership with the UK’s leading engineering services provider, Babcock International Group, reported Oman Observer.
The partnership, which helped launch the Duqm Naval Dockyard (DND) in June 2017, combines the capabilities of Oman Drydock Company with the expertise of London-headquartered Babcock International to provide world-class warship repair and maintenance facilities at Duqm.
DND’s maiden project centring on the repair, overhaul and dry-docking of a naval vessel was successfully delivered last week, JV partner Babcock International announced in a press statement.
