During the current financial year, the Hindusthan Shipyard (HSL) has delivered 3 vessels and is striving to improve its performance further. The HSL had delivered one 50-t bollard pull tug to the Visakhapatnam port trust, one IPV (ICGS Rani Avantibai) to the Indian Coast Guard and one 53,000 DWT bulker to Goodearth Maritime Limited (GML), said NK Mishra, Chairman & Managing Director of HSL after reviewing the performance of the HSL after hoisting the National Flag on the occasion of the Independence Day on August 15.
He attributed the results to the great team of the company. These tugs should be completed in time. Two of these should reach Karwar by mid-September and the third by December. He emphasised the need to enhance the performance of the company. Without these tugs, our new aircraft carrier – INS Vikramaditya – cannot berth at Karwar. HSL need to act and prove it to the nation that it is a capable yard, he added.
Mishra said that in August the HSL had signed the amendment to the original 8 IPV contract and the work on the project would progress now. More orders were in the offing, he said and exhorted the employees to work hard and work together for delivering the vessels on time and improving the track record of the yard.
