GELİBOLU TERSANESİ - ROAD2TUNNEL 2022

Gelibolu Shipyard has completed the steel cutting ceremony for their new General Cargo Vessel, NB 60, designed and developed by Conoship International. The 3600 DWT carrying capacity sea-river coaster has been designed with diesel-electric propulsion and the highest fuel efficiency standards. Designed to be both efficient and easily adaptable to new technologies, the project is considered “future proof” and is already below EEDI phase 3 requirements. ‘’Our project has been designed to be well-prepared for the future. As we know, fuel consumption, new types of fuel, renewable energies and energy savings are key topics in all areas of newbuilding. Bearing in mind market requirements, the operating area and priorities of our customers, we believe this vessel will set a new standard in its class now and in the future. Its arrangement and concept have been designed such that with a small revision the system can be adapted to the future requirements of alternative fuels. Gelibolu Shipyard will continue to invest in innovative and technological projects” Oya AKSOY, Member of the Board at Gelibolu Shipyard

A SHIPBUILDING STORY TO SET NEW STANDARDS

A replacement stinger for the offshore pipelaying vessel “SEMINOLE” has been built and installed at Gelibolu Shipyard. The stinger is used to guide pipelines to the bottom of the sea during installation. The 59 meter steel structure consists of two sections and weighs over 310 tons.  Design of the structure was developed by the vessel’s owner Micoperi and constructed at Gelibolu Shipyard. Installation and commissioning of the new stinger was carried out at the shipyard pier.

- Repair-maintenance-refurbishment services for the barges, ships and marine vessels operating in
the field and the construction site; 
- Manufacture and installation of barge reinforcements for loading and carrying the caisson piles
when the bridge foundation was being laid; 
- Production of &quot;Mega Support&quot; and &quot;SPMT Support&quot; steel construction which enables stacking the
bridge deck slabs ashore and carrying them to the stock area; 
- Production of the steel lifting gantry supports and the lifting frames with a carriage capacity of 500-
520 tons for the overhead assembly and disassembly of the cranes used for lifting the bridge deck
slabs; 
- Production of &quot;De-tensioning&quot; and &quot;Temporary Hanger System&quot; structures that fix and suspend the
bridge blocks weighing between 400 – 800 tons, and production of “Overpass Platforms” that enable
passage between blocks;
