Uneven supply and demand, environmental requirements, and a shortage of skilled laborers are significant obstacles to the maritime sector. The new naval inventions and trends have a minimal effect on marine operations. Energy-efficient integrations and the transition to cleaner energy sources minimize the industry’s environmental impact. Various technologies—including blockchain, robotics, big data and analytics, the Internet of Things (IoT), and artificial intelligence (AI)—are utilized to increase operational effectiveness.
Similar to this, Israel Shipyards (ISL) has been a part of the commercial and military marine industries for more than 60 years. The shipyard is well-known worldwide as a high-quality business that designs and constructs Naval ships for the Israeli Navy and clients worldwide. With all the necessary disciplines under one roof, Israel Shipyards is a one-stop shop that embraces delivering top combat-proven solutions for various tasks. That gives its customers and business partners the most efficient and accurate design and construction progress for their demands.
“Israel Shipyards was established in 1959 as a government-owned company for supplying the needs of the Israeli Navy. The company was privatized in 1995, and since then, we have been exporting our products and services to customers around the globe – in Asia, Africa, Europe, and Latin America while continuing to be the supplier of choice for the Israeli Navy. Until now, we have constructed and delivered more than 100 vessels of different types to our customers", stated Oded Breier, VP of Marketing, Israel Shipyards.
Various Services & Differentiating Factors to Empower Seagoing Ventures
Fast Patrol Craft (FPC), Offshore Patrol Vessels (OPV), Fast Missile Boats (FMB), and Corvettes are just a few of the vessels that Israel Shipyards offers. These vessels were all specially developed and designed by a team of more than 50 naval engineers. They all feature cutting-edge propulsion lines and the best systems from Israeli Defense companies. They are all combat-proven and come with an ILS package for the long term.
The company also provides training services for the customer’s operating and maintenance personnel. Additionally, ISL provides financial packages and unique commercial venues to their partners upon request. Furthermore, By utilizing the Navy’s shared combat experience portfolio and its access to the most recent defense technologies in the customized planning of each new vessel and repair project, Israel Shipyards’ in-house development based on experienced, top scaled ex-Israeli Navy engineers, managers, and production team enables the company to design, manufacture, and deliver turnkey projects to customers’ specifications and demands. Additionally, customers profit from their commitment to unwavering quality, lifetime support, and affordable price.
Moreover, each country’s marine demands and concerns were considered when designing the appropriate solution, technology packages, and financial support when needed. The business also runs extensive Transfer of Technology (ToT) initiatives that let our customers leverage local labor, resources, and infrastructure while extending the domestic industry’s independence. “Our projects are tailored to the customer’s requirements from the weapons suite and machinery systems up to the number of bunks and the galley equipment mounted on the vessel. In addition to this, as part of our involvement in the Israeli defense community, our projects are equipped with state-of-the-art Israeli combat systems and sensors, turning them into the most mission-ready and cost-effective vessels”, added Oded.
Future Ahead
Israel Shipyards’ top priority is customer satisfaction; therefore, they strive to provide a complete, integrated system quickly and flexibly. In accordance with customer requirements, the company offers both the vessel and all the systems needed for installation on the vessel. Their products, which are of the utmost quality and are supplied quickly, are manufactured to order according to the client’s specific needs and demands.
With the help of their services, customers may decide which option is both convenient and affordable. The company wishes to be a significant partner and supplier to the African nations, supporting their efforts to improve their capacity for building and maintaining indigenous and self-built vessels. “We are continuously developing our portfolio to offer new designs in response to the challenges of the maritime environment. Our manufacturing and repair plant is spreads over 330,000 sq. meters with 45,000 sq. meters of under-roof facilities and a wharf length of 1000 meters”, concluded Oded.
