Shipbuilding of barges, landing craft, tug boats and offshore-support vessels
Coastal has been in the ship fabrication and construction industry for decades and the projects have been growing in terms of quantity, variability and complexity. Coastal’s fabrication and construction projects range from barges, landing crafts and tug boats to medium-size offshore-support vessels with different functions, such as utility-support vessels and anchor-handling tugs.
The shipyards are well-equipped with advanced technologies and equipments to carry out daily operations, ad-hoc projects and emergency cases. Most of all, these applications are operated by a group of well-trained and under-supervision staff and the overall daily operations are overseen by qualified and experienced chief engineers and managers.
