On June 22, a ceremony for the gifting of the “Dostlug” oil tanker was held in an online format with the participation of the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev and the President of Turkmenistan Serdar Berdimuhamedov.
“Elchi” reports that the “Dostlug” oil tanker, gifted by Azerbaijan to Turkmenistan, was built at the Baku Shipyard. The tanker has a total length of 141 meters, a width of 16.9 meters, and a draft of 4.54 meters. The construction of the tanker, which has a deadweight of 7,875 tons, in Azerbaijan not only demonstrates the development of our shipbuilding industry but also contributes to the development of Azerbaijan-Turkmenistan friendly relations. At the same time, it once again shows that it is possible to implement large-scale and technologically complex shipbuilding projects at the Baku Shipyard.
To date, 14 ship construction and over 170 ship repair projects have been successfully completed at this shipyard. Currently, the construction of 11 out of 17 ships in the shipyard’s order portfolio is underway, and 6 ships are in the design stage.
