has built and delivered five units of gabbage collection craft (GC craft) for port contract services for S$4.5mil (RM13.95mil) to their Singaporean owner.
Its wholly-owned subsidiary Tuong Aik Shipyard Sdn Bhd delivered the 20m GC crafts through an unconventional way by shipping them on a barge measuring 280ft x 80ft to Singapore late last month.
The Sarawak-based shipbuilder came up with this unique way of using barge and tugboat to transport the vessels as it is a cheaper way to do so during the Covid-19 pandemic, said TAS managing director Datuk Lau Nai Hoh.
“In this time of Covid-19 pandemic and with the current standard operating procedures (SOPs), it is very inconvenient and costly for the vessel owner to fly in their crew members to take delivery of the vessels, as the crew members have to undergo the required swab tests and quarantine besides obtaining the necessary documents from the relevant authorities.

Print article On April 12, activists in Juneau, Alaska, filed paperwork to limit cruise traffic to the city’s picturesque port, where more than 1.2 million passengers disembarked in 2019. When cruising returns, it’s expected to host about 620 ships, bringing more than 1.3 million to the last frontier state. The citizens argue that many passengers coming ashore during the summer season changes the way of life in the city of 32,000. Ideally, they say, they can maintain a quality of life, keep the city as an attractive destination for overnight visitors, and maintain some (but not all) cruise tourism opportunities.
