Floating dock was towed from STX Jinhae Shipyard, South Korea in two sections. Assembly of these two sections and final preparations for the docking operations have been completed in Besiktas Shipyard. Besiktas Shipyard boosts up the docking capacity with the new 382 m. long and 58 m. inner free beam floating dock which is operational as of October 2016. The new floating dock accommodates the Aframax/Suezmax Tankers, Capesize/Newcastlemax Bulkers, Q-Max Size LNG Tankers and Container Ships up to 15.000 TEU. (Video song: The Violin Song (feat.
