Aside from Saipem’s Port Harcourt yard, which already has full engineering, procurement and construction capability, NigerDock is currently the busiest of its competitors, having stolen the lead from local fabrication yard Dorman Long, South Africa’s Grinaeker, Acergy’s Globestar yard at Warri and the former Willbros facilities, now owned by Ascot Offshore.
NigerDock secured considerable favour from state-owned Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) under the previous regime but, to meet expectations, it must proceed with planned investments in new equipment, yard expansion and a skills upgrade to handle “exotic” materials for fabrication work.
