Almost every month NIBULON shipbuilding and repair yard launches a new vessel and it has a heavy order book for the next few years. The large-scale reconstruction of NIBULON shipbuilding and repair yard brings it to a high organization and technical production level. As part of the reconstruction, two new modern workshops (a metal processing workshop and an assembly and fabrication workshop equipped with devices from the world’s leading manufacturers) were put into operation, two launching ways enabling shipbuilders to construct and maintain 100-m vessels were constructed. So it is not a surprise that the international exhibitions of achievements and new developments in shipbuilding and water transport are held at NIBULON shipbuilding and repair yard for two consecutive years. These exhibitions are visited by both foreign and domestic companies, and thousands of people.
The main goal of the trade fair in Hamburg is to provide various fields of maritime industry with the latest information, new products and services that will help to achieve economic success. During the trade fair, NIBULON’s delegation consisting of Andrii Volik, deputy general director of fleet construction, fleet operation and navigation safety, Volodymyr Zhmur, deputy director of production at NIBULON shipbuilding and repair yard, Halyna Kolomiichenko, head of purchasing department, held meetings with the company’s suppliers and potential ones for new orders that are being constructed at NIBULON’s shipyard. These are: Bohamet SA and Famor SA (Poland); Alfa Laval Benelux B.V., ZF Marine Krimpen B.V., Alewijnse Marine Systems, DMT Marine Equipment S.A. (the Netherlands); JP Sauer & Sohn Maschinenbau GmbH (Germany); Rigas Dizelis DG (Latvia); Helkama Bica Oy (Finland); Desmi Pumping Technology A/S, Novenco Marine & Offshore (Denmark); Power House AB (Sweden); Fluidmecanica Sur SL (Spain), and others.
Using the opportunity, the company’s representatives signed a contract with the German firm Liebherr-MCCTEC Rostock GmbH for the supply of two CBG360 cranes for a 140-m floating vessel with a storage capacity of 10,000 tons (P-140 project), which is being constructed at NIBULON shipbuilding and repair yard. General Director Oleksiy Vadaturskyy personally held negotiations with the owners of the German company. By the way, Oleksiy Vadaturskyy was invited to visit a modernized Liebherr plant in Germany, where the ordered equipment will be assembled.
We would remind you that at the beginning of 2018 NIBULON signed a contract for the purchase of a high-capacity portal slewing crane LPS 180 with a capacity of up to 42 tons. It will become an integral part between the new assembly and fabrication workshop and the building berth. It is planned to put it into operation in December 2018.
