Oman Drydock Company SAOC announced the successful, on time delivery of its first ever container ship after the completion of a major maintenance job. The German-owned ‘Pacific Trader’, which has a capacity to accommodate 1,608 TEUs of containers, arrived at ODC’s world class ship repair yard at Duqm 1314445702317662300 on July 14.

Over the ensuing 39 days, the vessel underwent a number of maintenance works, including painting, refurbishment of some sections, and repairs to seven major onboard tanks. A professional team of specialized technicians and engineers was on hand throughout the contract to ensure the provision of the highest standards of quality. The Pacific Trader’s supervisor thanked ODC for the smooth, timely and efficient completion of the maintenance contract.

ODC has so far undertaken maintenance works on a total of 16 ships that had been dry docked since the soft opening of the yard on April 25. Starting with two ships owned by a Belgian company, ODC has since taken on more complex maintenance tasks involving larger vessels of National Ferries Company.
