On June 22, a ceremony to present the “Dostlug” (Friendship) oil tanker in an online format was held with the participation of President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev and President of Turkmenistan Serdar Berdimuhamedov.
The “Dostlug” oil tanker, gifted by Azerbaijan to Turkmenistan, was built at the Baku Shipyard. The tanker has an overall length of 141 meters, a width of 16.9 meters, and a draft of 4.54 meters. With a deadweight of 7,875 tons, its construction not only demonstrates the development of Azerbaijan’s shipbuilding industry but also contributes to strengthening Azerbaijan–Turkmenistan friendship. It also highlights the capacity to implement large-scale and technologically complex shipbuilding projects at the Baku Shipyard.
To date, 14 ships have been built and more than 170 ships have been repaired at the shipyard. Currently, of the 17 ships in its order portfolio, construction of 11 is underway, while 6 are in the design stage.
A video highlighting the visit of President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen to Azerbaijan was shared on the social media accounts of President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev.
