SPLIT HOPPER -MAGHIAM

APT Global Dubai was awarded a contract for the construction and delivery of 2 split hopper barges with a capacity of 2100 M³ for NMDC in June 2019.

Due to time and market constraints, APT Global Marine Service bought two available hulls, in concert with the client. The hulls were towed to her yard where they were subject of the entire outfitting, component installation, Classification and commissioning. Specific project related requirements of the clients have been integrated within the limited time frame.

Both vessels were rechristened with new names NAREEL and MAGHIAM.

Both vessels were delivered to NMDC base at Abu-Dhabi during January 2020.
