Measuring 228 metres in length, with a beam of 32.2 metres and a deadweight capacity of 73,180 tonnes, Troy is among the longest vessels ever accommodated at the Prince Edward Graving Dock.
Transnet National Ports Authority (TNPA) has successfully docked the 228-metre Marshall Islands-flagged crude oil tanker Troy at the Port of Durban's Prince Edward Graving Dock, the first vessel of its size to use the historic ship repair facility in more than 10 years.
The successful docking showcases the dock's enhanced capacity following ongoing infrastructure upgrades and reinforces its role as one of Africa's key ship repair facilities.
