Barge launched at Dungquat shipyard

Dungquat Shipbuilding Industry Company (DQS) conducted to launch a barge called “VSP-05” on 27 Feb 2011 at its facility in Dungquat EZ and handed over to its client Vietsovpetro. DQS also launched on the same day a tugboat named “Dungquat 01” with a capacity of 2,400 horsepower which will be used for towing operations at the shipyard’s dock and wharf.

The barge is 110m long, 32m wide, 7m high and has a capacity of 15,000 tons. It’s valued at VND 97 billion (~ US$ 4.6 million).

VSP-05 can be seen as the first product finished at this shipyard since its establishment in 2006. Being transferred to PetroVienam in July 2010, DQS gained better momentum in terms of financial and human resources capability and it’s optimistic that the two much-delayed oil tankers of 104,000 DWT and 105,000 tons will be launched this year.
