The shipyard was adapted to the needs of the oil extraction industry, which was dynamically developing in West Africa. The project started with soil reinforcement by driving 3,500 piles to lift and move structures weighing up to 1,600 tons. Large halls for the assembly of structures for the mining industry were built in the area prepared in such a way.

Structures 140 meters long and 40 meters wide can be built in the halls, which are then moved to the quay and introduced to the 120-meter floating dock built at the Gdańsk Repair Shipyard in Poland. The shipyard, thanks to equipping it with the most modern technological solutions and providing its employees with a very high standard of work, clearly differs from similar enterprises in African or Asian countries. NIGERDOCK is recognized in 1998. by the Nigerian government for the country's most modern technical undertaking. However, for Poland it was one of the most important investment projects in Africa at that time.

The experience gained both under this contract and the previous ones made Navimor International an expert in operating on the African market and is among the small group of Polish companies best prepared to operate in Africa. The NIGERDOCK project was also the beginning of a very fruitful cooperation between Navimor Int. And the GDAŃSK REPAIR SHIP.

Floating dock:
  1. The Multifunctional Floating Dock was constructed in Poland in a department specialized in the construction of floating docks.
  2. The Dock with lifting capacity of 3000/1800 tons is equipped with the most modern and up-to-date machineries. The dock has its own electric power system, making it entirely independent from shore supply for all docking operations.
  3. The overall length of the dock being 110meters and width between the sides 19 meters allows lifting of all kinds of vessels up to 3000 tons, that is up to 6000 DWT.
Off-shore Construction Area:

The Off-shore construction area allows to build structures, oil rigs up to 4,000 tons, SPM buoys. The Off-shore Area is equipped with 60 tons capacity mobile cranes and 150 tons crawler crane for handling even the heaviest construction pieces.

The 13,000 sq. meters Off-shore construction Area has a two layer pavement made of crushed aggregate, laid on mechanically consolidated subsoil stabilized with Tensar geogrid. Moving the fabricated construction onto barges is performed by a custom designed sled system allowing trouble-free movement of constructions up to 4,000 tons.
