MoU Signed to Enhance Heavy Fabrication

On April 29, 2025, SDHI and Wheel & Time Shipping signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to combine SDHI’s advanced fabrication infrastructure with Wheel & Time’s logistics expertise.

The result is a turnkey solution offering an end-to-end logistics ecosystem for heavy engineering projects, particularly in industries such as oil & gas, offshore EPC, petrochemicals, marine infrastructure, and material handling at ports.

This partnership represents a significant milestone as it marks the first time an Indian shipyard will offer an integrated solution that covers all aspects of heavy fabrication and logistics. The goal is to streamline project timelines, reduce risks, and offer more efficient solutions connected to global shipping networks.

Key Benefits of the F.A.S.T. Ecosystem

The F.A.S.T. model is designed to provide clients with a seamless process for manufacturing, assembly, storage, and transportation.

By integrating these functions into a single system, the alliance seeks to minimise project delays, reduce the need for multiple vendor coordination, and offer a more reliable and cost-effective solution for heavy fabrication projects.

Strengthening India’s Shipbuilding and Heavy Fabrication Capacity

SDHI’s shipyard, located in Pipavav, Gujarat, offers advanced facilities for heavy engineering projects. Spanning 600 acres, the shipyard features India’s largest dry dock, capable of fabricating and assembling structures of up to 10,000 tons per month.

The shipyard also has advanced CNC (Computer Numerical Control) and robotic systems for precise cutting, as well as powerful hydraulic presses for handling loads of up to 1,600 tons.

In addition to fabrication, the facility is equipped to handle large sections and offers specialised equipment for lifting heavy items, making it well-suited for projects that require large-scale structures.
