1 Introduction & Objective

Cochin Shipyard Limited (CSL) is a premier Ship Building & Ship Repair company fully

owned by the Government of India. CSL was incorporated in the year 1972 with a land

area of 170 acres. Further details of our yard can be obtained from the website:

‘www.cochinshipyard.com’.

As a part of CSL’s overall growth agenda, it seeks to focus on Ship Repair as an

important area for future thrust. With this agenda, CSL signed an agreement with Cochin

Port Trust (CPT) on 24th Dec 2012 for setting up of International Ship Repair Facility

(ISRF) in their premises at Willingdon Island. This facility is presently located in a land

area of about 42 acres having water frontage about 800 M, quay length of 86 M, dry dock

measuring 66 x 12.5 x 4M along with work shops built in 1938.

CSL now proposes to select a Project Management Consultant / Firm of consultants with

proven track record as Project Consultant in Shipyard / Port projects, for the CPT project.

Selection of consultant will be done through competitive tendering process by inviting

bids from interested, qualified and short listed parties for which, we are floating this EOI

bid.

The Project Management Consultant shall be responsible to CSL for the development of

an International Ship Repair facility at CPT (ie, installation of a ship lift, transfer system

& allied facilities) from the conceptual stage to the operational stage. The selected

consultant shall be awarded the consultancy assignment on a lump sum fixed consultancy

fees on achievement of pre-defined milestones.

2 CSL Proposal

The proposed Ship Lift shall consist of two jetties of suitable length and width, on which

raising and lowering mechanism of the ship lift platform, can be housed. The size of the

platform shall be designed to suit the lifting and lowering of ships for repair and to launch

new ships constructed at the work area.

Depth of water at the proposed site is the critical factor for ship lift operation. The

proposed site in Mattancherry Channel on the southern part of the Cochin Port workshop

does not have natural depth sufficient for a ship lift. Deepening of channel is required in

this area with periodic de-siltation under the ship lift platform and maintenance dredging

of the yard waterfront (back waters).

The ship lift facility is to be suitable to handle ships of maximum size 130 M long

(LOA), 25 M breadth with 6000 T docking. The requirement comprises of work stations

for dry docking of six vessels and afloat repair facility for a minimum of eight vessels.

Refer drawing placed at Annexure: 1 which details out our tentative proposal.

Civil Engineering works shall cover design and construction of suitable jetties,

foundations, tracks for moving the lifted vessels alongside and athwart to transverse

Page 4 of 13

transfer areas and work stations and consolidation / concreting of the work areas

including that for repair and / for building of ships. Part of the work area shall be planned

to erect and launch a series of small ships within the designed capacity of the shiplift

system. Suitable cranes are also to be placed for works on the ships. Limitation of height

due to Navy’s flying funnel shall also to be noted for the design.

The jetties shall be designed in such a manner that siltation problem is the least and to

suit mooring of vessels alongside. Possibility of providing suitable aid for periodic de-

siltation underside the ship lift shall be incorporated at the design stage. Bollards, fenders,

hauling arrangements, winches, etc. shall be included. Fenders at the entry point and

alongside shall be in place for safe handling of ships on the ship lift platform.

Drainage system, provision for water, power, control system, gases, compressed air, fire

fighting and such other service facilities shall be integrated within the construction plan.

All design activities shall be backed by sound engineering practice in the Marine field

covering corrosion protection and safe handling of ships.
