Infrastructure:
RNAVAL has developed an Integrated shipbuilding , Ship / Rig Repair & Conversion, Ship production and Offshore construction & Heavy Engineering facility at the Port of Reliance , Gujarat . This manufacturing facility has a highly modern fabrication, piping , painting shops of 12000 tons per month capacity , together with the largest Drydock in the country of , 662 m X 65 m size with 2 X 600 ton SWL Goliath Cranes.
High & Quality Blasting and Painting capabilities through dehumidification of compartments . The only shipyard in India to build large bulk carriers with PSPC compliance .
The dry dock and surrounding facilities are located on 104 hectares (257 acres) of land adjoined by a dedicated waterfront. The dry dock site has been approved as an Export Oriented Unit (EOU).
Adjacent to the dry dock is a pre-erection berth 980 meters long and 40 meters wide that is fully reinforced to enable mega blocks to be assembled on the land berth before being lowered into the dry dock.
To facilitate afloat fit-out and commissioning of ships, including afloat repairs, a 300 meter long, dual berthing quay has been constructed with adequate draft and serviced by a Level Luffing crane.
Heavy Engineering Infrastructure
RNAVAL has achieved highest level of quality and productivity in heavy engineering with its highly advanced infrastructure set-up that includes:
• Specialized jigs and fixtures with rollers and conveyers
• Forming facilities
• Welding automations
• Pipe shop equipped with advanced equipment

State-of-the-art Ship Repair Facility
RNAVAL ship repair facility is based on one of the largest dry docks (662m X 65m) in the world, of which 295 meters is dedicated towards ship repair. Supporting the repair activities are an outfitting jetty equipped with the most modern repair facilities, a large scale steel fabrication yard with a capacity of 12,000 MT per day, a modern pipe shop with a capacity of 3,050 inch diameter per day, and a very efficient, experienced and capable team.
Fabrication:
Approximately 4.5 kms from the dry-dock, located in a Special Economic Zone, is RNAVAL fabrication facility spread over 235 acres, with 2 million square feet of closed working areas. The fabrication facility can cut steel and fabricate blocks of up to 144,000 tons per annum
By locating its workshops and fabrication facilities in an SEZ, away from the dry dock site, RNAVAL gets two key advantages:
- Maximum water frontage is available at the shipyard site for ship assembly, fabrication of offshore oil & gas exploration and production assets and ship repair activities.
- Access to a highly tax-efficient SEZ unit.
The blocks manufactured at this site are pre-outfitted to the extent possible. Blocks are then moved to the dockside for pre-erection of mega- and giga-blocks. Subsequently, blocks are lowered to the dock floor for final assembly and launch of the vessel.
Dry Dock:
The infrastructure facilities originally consisted of two wet basins, one 680 meters long and 65 meters wide and the other 680 meters long and 60 meters wide. The first of these wet docks has been converted into a dry dock measuring 662 meters long and 65 meters wide, the second largest in the world.
The dry dock is serviced by two Goliath cranes 148 meters span and 75 meters high, each with lifting capacity of 600 tons. Together, these cranes can lift weights of up to 1,200 tons. Also available at the site are two Level Luffing cranes, with a combined lifting capacity of 80 tons. The entrance of the dry dock also features a 100 meter extension track for the Goliath cranes to unload heavy machinery and equipment directly from ships and heavy lift barges.
Offshore Yard:
Adjacent to the dry dock is an offshore fabrication yard (‘Offshore Yard’) measuring 750 meters x 265 meters.
RNAVAL has significant capability for fabrication of offshore structure and floating units. The company offers engineering procurement and construction (EPC) services for offshore projects, including floating production storage and offloading vessels, Jackup rigs, unmanned well head platforms, process platforms, four-legged jackets, eight-legged jackets and various topside process modules.
Having shipbuilding and offshore fabrication facilities at adjacent locations, with a dedicated specialty fabrication complex, RNAVAL is a unique infrastructure for building new/converted Floating Production Storage and Offloading vessels (‘FPSO’), Mobile Offshore Drilling Units (‘MODU’), Mobile Offshore Production Units (‘MOPU’), drill ships etc.
