Baku (ANTARA News/Asia Pulse) - Azerbaijan`s President Ilham Aliyev Friday laid the foundations of a state-of-the-art shipyard to be located near the
Heydar Aliyev Baku Deepwater Jackets Factory.
A Memorandum of
Understanding was signed in Baku last November by Azerbaijan`s
State Oil Company (SOCAR), Azerbaijan Investment Company (AIC) and
Singapore's Keppel Offshore & Marine, one of the largest offshore and marine groups in the world.
Under the Memorandum, 65 per cent of
the shares in the facility belong to SOCAR, 25 per cent
to AIC and 10 per cent to Keppel Offshore & Marine. The
construction, estimated to cost between US$300 and $350 million, is scheduled to be completed in three years.
