Hongkong United Dockyards Ltd. Sign Contracts For New Ship Repair Complex
Officials of Hongkong United Dockyards Ltd. and Nishimatsu Construction Co. Ltd. have formally signed two contracts covering the development of HUD's new ship repair complex at Tsing Yi Island.
The first contract valued at HK$9.9 million covers reclamation work, while the second, which is for construction of the main quay wall, jetties, seawall, roadways and drainage systems, is valued at HK$68 million.
On completion, the Tsing Yi site will comprise about 1.2 million square feet, of which approximately 50 percent will have been reclaimed from the sea.
A total of about 2,067 feet of continuous seawall together with one single jetty of approximately 617 feet in length will be provided for the berthing of ships up to 100,000-dwt displacement.
Water depths will range from about 24 feet for the small ship berth up to over 46 feet at the large ship berth. Initial dockyard operational facilities are scheduled to begin around April 1978.
