In a significant operational update, the Azerbaijan Caspian Shipping Company (ASCO) announced that its Zığ Ship Repair and Construction Plant (ZGTTZ) successfully completed repairs on 26 vessels last year. This comprehensive maintenance effort included major overhauls, routine repairs, and shipyard-level maintenance, showcasing ASCO’s commitment to maritime excellence and safety.
Comprehensive Repairs and Maintenance
ASCO reported that out of the 26 vessels serviced, eight underwent major repairs, while 16 received shipyard-level maintenance. Additionally, two vessels were subjected to routine repairs. Notably, 20 of these vessels were part of ASCO’s own fleet, with the remaining six owned by external organizations. This diverse range of repairs highlights the plant’s capability to cater to both internal and external clients, reinforcing its position in the maritime industry.
The repair operations were conducted in strict adherence to international conventions, ensuring high standards of safety and quality. The work was executed by ASCO’s team of highly qualified specialists, who brought their expertise to each project. This commitment to professional service not only enhances the operational efficiency of the vessels but also contributes to the overall safety of maritime activities in the region.
Expanding Capabilities in Shipbuilding
ZGTTZ is not just a repair facility; it also offers extensive marine engineering services. Since 2017, the plant has been certified to construct small-capacity vessels, significantly broadening its shipbuilding capabilities. This expansion allows ASCO to meet the growing demands of the maritime sector and to innovate within the industry.
The combination of repair and construction services positions ZGTTZ as a key player in the Caspian maritime landscape. With a focus on quality and compliance with international standards, ASCO continues to enhance its reputation as a reliable partner in ship maintenance and construction. As the company moves forward, it remains dedicated to serving both its fleet and external clients with excellence.
