Quay
The 200 m deep-water reinforced-concrete quay is equipped with utility services. The berth and mooring arrangement are agreed for each vessel.
Harbour Waters and Mooring Equipment
Water depths and tidal conditions do not guarantee the permissible draught of a particular vessel. Current navigational information, under-keel clearance and the mooring plan are confirmed before arrival. A bollard's SWL must not be confused with the range of the separate Bollard Pull test facility.

Dedicated Berth for Jack-Up Rigs
ASABA Shipyard has prepared a dedicated 180-metre berth to accommodate and repair jack-up drilling rigs. Water and electricity connections, wastewater reception facilities and the necessary shoreside infrastructure are in place.
The berth is equipped with Yokohama-type pneumatic fenders measuring 4.5 metres in diameter and 10 metres in length, as well as access gangways. A crane with a lifting capacity of 300 tonnes is available for cargo handling, repair and installation work.
The firefighting infrastructure includes two independent fire pump stations. A shipyard-owned tug with the Fire Fighting Ship 1 classification remains on standby near the berth, equipped for firefighting with a water delivery capacity of 2,400 m³/h and a Water Spray system.
A fast rescue boat is stationed at the berth on 24/7 standby, ready for rapid deployment at any time of day or night.
Office buildings and spaces are provided on the shipyard premises for customer representatives.
