LANDMARK NAVAL VESSEL CONSTRUCTION

Naval Dockyard Limited have carved a niche in ship building technology. A vast community of dedicated Naval and civilian Engineers using technology to transform their country. NDL the only shipyard in West Africa that deals with military vessels construction. A high-grade Seaward Defence boat of intricate nature that goes as far as 40 nautical miles beyond the continental shelf which is 350 nautical miles. The Seaward Defence boats goes that far linking the offshore petrol vessels. An interface with short fast attacks crafts that can be used for quick reactions.
The idea behind this conception began in 2007 when NDL ventured into the act of building their own vessel instead of buying to reduce cost. It was not a military vessel at the time, but a cruise vessel named ‘SOKALAFIA’. Conceived and built at the Naval shipyard in Port Harcourt. The cruise vessel could ferry 90 personnel from their workplaces to the Navy town along the coast. It became evidence at that point that venturing into building military vessels was possible. And in 2009 the first in the Seaward Defence Series (SDB), a 30m vessel was successfully built and launched in 2011 called NNS ANDONI (P-100). In its effort to improve on SDB I, the Nigerian Navy desired having a bigger vessel as an improvement in its building capacity. This was how NNS KARADUWA (P-102) a 38m vessel, a lift jump from the 30m SDB 1 was built. Both vessels are still operating optimally at sea. The Nigerian Navy is presently at the verge of launching another vessel and expands their fleet. One made of steel, an advancement in its shipbuilding technologies.

SDB 3 Building Underway In Naval Dockyard Limited



The Nigerian Navy over the decade develop expertise and embarked on design/building of ship and craft. With the present class of the Seaward Defence Boat (SDB3) which is a 43m steel vessel, a shift from aluminium to steel, therefore, the need for critical thinking in terms of Naval architectural design unlike what is common in this region of having ships made of Glass Reinforced Plastic and Aluminium. The research of being all steel vessel was particularly critical now because the SDB3 is the largest of the series and meant to be the best judging by what her roles are supposed to be. Most of her resources are steel, generated at NDL. The Hull is already completed and advancing into the outfitting stage with most of the outfitting equipment on ground. SDB3 is going to be quite appealing with sophisticated trappings

This shit crack me up.

NNS Andoni can sail to 50 nautical miles despite been an SDB. That's 92.6 kilometers out to sea.


That's really impressive.

NNS Karaduwa routinely engages in multinational exercises with foreign navy ships, and last year, she sailed to Ghana for Ghana navy's 60th anniversary celebration.

Seaward Defence Boat 3 would be the last in the series.

I hope that's a good thing.

SDB3 will be a good platform for the development of future home made missile boats.
