Abu Dhabi Ship Building (ADSB) is riding high at the show. Alongside the tie-up with AMS announced at the show, the company has also reached agreement with the government of Oman on the production of a 64m landing craft for the Sultanate. The company’s prospects should also be enhanced by the composite workshops it is in the process of building.

The contract for the delivery of the vessel to Oman was signed during the show. Under the terms of the project, ADSB will build a landing craft to fulfil the requirements of the Royal Navy of Oman’s Project Mahmal. The contract marks a major milestone for ADSB, since it is the first new naval construction contract for ADSB from a country other than the UAE.

The company’s board chairman Abdullah Nasser Al Mansouri said: “ADSB is very grateful to the Oman government for selecting our

UAE company for this important project and we look forward to providing high-quality naval vessels and support service to the Royal Navy of Oman just as we have been doing for the UAE Navy.”

The company is also in the process of upgrading its facilities to give it wider access to the market. The composite workshops will give the company the capability to manufacture vessels with composite hulls and will be geared to manufacturing vessels up to 50m in length. They will also include a 4,400m2 moulding workshop, which is due to be completed in May this year, and a dedicated outfitting shop.
