Adria Docks in Trogir has floating docks with lifting capacities of 8,500 and 800 tonnes, and 300-metres of service wharf. A travel lift service with lifting capacity of 600 tonnes services hard standing used for extended period for maintenance and repairs. The shipyard can carry out maintenance work at the quayside or in the docks, and can service, repair or modify superyachts up to 150 metres. Adria Docks also offers a testing station with its own installed test cell, for marine and industrial engines of up to 3.4 MW. It provides detailed testing of engines before installation or after reconstruction, with the test results under actual engine load. “The aim is always to satisfy the client without compromising quality,” says Stjepan Lučin.
If the recent Covid inspired pandemic has taught us anything, it is that work needs to carry on even in the face of adversity. It is here that attitude joins forces with health and safety issues which even before the pandemic struck was an important enough reason to consider choosing one shipyard over another.
RMK Marine have a complete health and environment protection management system that they have actively followed for more than 15 years. “So,” says Özgür Numan, “We are used to taking a serious approach to health and safety. With this practise in hand, adapting to the new world’s standards and creating new measures of controls and safety was not very difficult for us.
Looking at our statistic data we can see that the pandemic did not affect the refit and repair market. We have had an even better income in 2020 than we did in 2019
Apart from extended health precautions, we are now paying more attention to procurement terms and the planning matters in order to manage and monitor the delivery of the goods for any project. Also, the online meetings are now the standard for any business. We are performing online internal meetings even when all the participants are in their offices at the shipyard. The gain of time is impressive.”
Covid has brought other surprising results. “Taking into consideration the last two years, in which were affected by the pandemic, we are expecting the grow of our business at Adria Docks,” says Stjepan Lučin. He adds, “Looking at our statistic data we can see that the pandemic did not affect the refit and repair market. We have had even better income in 2020, than in 2019. Considering our activities and income over three quarters of 2021 and comparing with same period in 2020, we can see that the company will have even better results this year. That is the best proof how this market sales has not been adversely affected by the pandemic.”
He continues, “We have adjusted our way of doing business according to the global pandemic recommendations and obligations in way of prevention of Covid19 infection and protection of our clients, workers and contractors. The most significant alterations were during the full lockdown when most countries in Europe were prevented from travel for the purposes of negotiations with the clients. That is when we began embracing modern communication methods the likes of video calls, conferencing.”
