Cochin Shipyard & Drydocks World Partner to Build Advanced Ship Repair Hubs in India

India’s largest shipbuilding and maintenance facility, Cochin Shipyard Ltd, has partnered with Drydocks World, a company under DP World, to develop world-class ship repair clusters in India. The two companies signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) under the guidance of the Ministry of Ports, Shipping and Waterways, Government of India.

The MoU was signed at the ‘CEO Connect: Dubai-India Economic Ties’ event held in Mumbai. The signing ceremony took place in the presence of key dignitaries including H.H. Sheikh Hamdan Bin Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Defence of the UAE, H.E. Sultan Ahmed Bin Sulayem, Group Chairman and CEO of DP World; Shri Piyush Goyal, India’s Minister of Commerce and Industry; and Shri Madhu S Nair, Chairman and Managing Director of Cochin Shipyard.

The agreement outlines plans to jointly assess the potential of setting up advanced ship repair and maintenance clusters at Kochi in Kerela and Vadinar in Gujarat. The two companies want to enhance India’s ship repair ecosystem by combining Cochin Shipyard’s shipbuilding and repair expertise with Drydocks World’s International experience in marine engineering and fabrication.
