Naval Rocha commercial director Sergio Rodrigues said the yard located in the heart of Lisbon Harbor on the north bank of the River Tagus has completed a wide variety of repair and conversion projects so far in 2019.

Contracts have involved livestock carriers, polar expedition vessels, car-ferries, tugboats, cargo-carriers, cruise ships and sailing vessels.

In line with future growth plans Navarocha is also reporting growing numbers of LPG and Product Carrier projects.

“The scale of our operation also places us at an operational advantage with three dedicated drydocks. This ensures every project receives our full attention with each client benefitting from priority treatment from our 70-strong team and cluster of sub-contractors based on site.”
