Waterways Shipyard @ Udupi - India.
Introduction :
We are developing a shipyard over an area of around 60,000 sq m in Udupi District and Taluka, South Karnataka, India having therein construction bays, slipways, dry docks and other modern amenities.Our main object is to provide a facility to construct and repair ships as per the International Marine Standards and to provide our customers with superior quality products and timely services. The shipyard will be capable of building around 5 to 7 vessels at a time with the size being around 8000 DWT. We are developing the shipyard to construct and repair all types of vessels such as tankers, container, bulk carriers, tugs and also target the Oil and Gas exploration sector. We see a huge potential for shipbuilding and ship repairs in India as it is strategically located on various shipping routes that allow better access to West Asia (Middle – East) & South – East Asia.
The shipyard is located at Hungarkatta in Balekuduru Village of Udupi Taluka in Udupi District of Karnataka. It is located 11 Km towards North of Malphe Harbour and 58 Km North of Mangalore Port. National Highway 17 passes 1.5 Km away from the site and Konkan railway line is 7 Km away from the site. The nearest railway station is at Barkur, 11 Km away from the project site by road. The nearest town to the project site is Udupi, 18 Km away by road towards south. The nearest airport is at Mangalore, 50 Km away by road.
The shipyard is located on the eastern bank of the estuary formed by the confluence of Sita and Swarna rivers with the Arabian Sea. The estuary is about 550 m wide near the project site and opens to the sea just opposite to the proposed project site.
