Jumboisation/Body Swapping

Keppel Shipyard has the expertise to undertake the jumboisation and lengthening of vessels, body-swapping and life extensions projects. Some of these works done by Keppel Shipyard include the:

  • Jumboisation and extension of container vessels, with new mid-body sections
  • Jumboisation of a Trailing Suction Hopper Dredger
  • Widening of a tender drilling barge
  • Upgrading of vessels into a sophisticated research vessel, including the installation of a complete range of sophisticated oil exploration equipment

Some of our completed projects include:

Seaway, a Trailing Suction Hopper Dredger (TSHD) that measured 132 metres when she arrived at Keppel Shipyard. After conversion, she now measures 164 metres with upgraded dredging and power management systems. A deck crane was also installed onboard the Seaway.

Bulk carrier Castillo de Simancas was the result of a body swapping between a bulker, Castillo de Lopera, and tanker, Castillo de Lorca.
