Dredger launching

It was a momentous occasion for Team Navgathi with the successful launching of the first dredger in the two vessel project for Irrigation Department, Kerala State. The dredgers were contracted to KSINC for construction and the work was done by APM Marine. Navgathi did the complete design of the dredger right from basic design to production design and also provided technical support during construction.

Navgathi developed the design after an extensive market survey on the type of vessels in the kerala waters and the operational issues associated with them. We could also build up on the past experience of designing a smaller cutter suction dredger for APM Marine. Geroge Mathew, from APM Marine, the key person responsible for this successful project completion, brought extensive operation experience in floating and fixed structures in Kerala waters.

The second vessel is getting ready to launch and in a couple of months these would be delivered to the client after all necessary tests and trials.

New Project at Hyundai Mipo

Strengthened with the VLOO project in HHI (Hyundai Heavy Industries, S.Korea), Navgathi has started the 37K Bulk Carrier for a leading ship owner in HMD (Hyundai Mipo Dockyard, S.Korea). The project is for four vessels for a period of one year. In the next one month, our full project team will be in the site.

Compact Dredgers for KSINC

We are proud to announce the award of the contract for the design of two compact cutter suction dredgers for APM Marine. This is the same model that was successfully designed for APM Marine for their dredging use.

KSINC has awarded this contract to our client, APM Marine, and our successful design would be used in this order.

The highlight of this order is that the dredger is built under the Indian Register of Shipping (IRS) Class.

New Project at Hyundai Heavy Industries

Our first step in to new shipbuilding project management has borne fruit in the form of providing support for the construction of VLOO (Very Large Ore Oil carrier) in Hyundai Heavy Industries (HHI), S.Korea - the world's largest shipyard. This is a nine vessel project lasting two years by a leading ship owner.
