In 2016, The Company continued to implement the Board approved strategy to strengthen shareholders value by focusing on its core business segments such as Naval Ship Building, Small Boat Construction, Services and Combat Management Systems Integration.
The Company continued to focus more on the Services business segment with a stronger thrust on the concept of Through Life Capability Management (TLCM) by partnering with GHQ with technical assistance from the best in the world in this field.
