Garden Reach Shipbuilders & Engineers (GRSE) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with SWAN Defence and Heavy Industries, to boost Indigenous Commercial Shipbuilding capabilities. This MoU represents a significant step towards strengthening domestic expertise in the commercial shipbuilding sector and aligns with the national vision of ‘Aatmanirbhar Bharat’ in the maritime sector. Both the shipyards will collaborate on a non-exclusive basis for the construction of commercial vessels and offshore structures, with a focus on global clients and national maritime interests.
This alliance will enable GRSE and SWAN Defence to leverage each other's strengths in infrastructure, expertise, and design capabilities. The partnership will focus on jointly scouting for commercial shipbuilding projects and developing standard platform designs to cater to market needs. By sharing infrastructure and evolving effective build strategies, the two entities aim to ensure faster and more efficient project execution. Additionally, the collaboration will work towards optimizing costs through the development of a mutually beneficial vendor ecosystem.
A significant emphasis will also be placed on training and nurturing a skilled local workforce. Furthermore, both parties will cooperate in the trials, commissioning, and future repair of vessels and offshore structures, thereby establishing a comprehensive and sustainable model for commercial shipbuilding in India. This collaboration is a testament to the growing capabilities of Indian shipyards in meeting both national and international maritime demands through innovative, costeffective, and high-quality solutions.
