Marine Slipway Regional Capacity Assessment
By AMSTEC
AMSTEC was contracted by ADB PSDI to conduct a regional assessment of capacity and demand for marine slipways in the Pacific Islands.
The purpose of the assignment is to assess the current market demand for and supply of vessel repair and maintenance services in the Pacific Island region. This work will provide necessary data to estimate the potential market size and capacities of slipways and potential for new developments.
The analysis will review the market demand for domestic vessel and international vessel dockyard and slipway services. The review will include field work to assess existing facilities located at various Islands which are reported to various operational standards. The analysis also makes assessments of likely demand and existing competition in the region and estimate the total costs of developing and operating a greenfield slipway facility.
The analysis will suggest options for private sector participation in the development of new customized slipways solution and likely operating revenues consistent with regional operators.
