The Kali-3 Security Support Vessel project, a collaboration between Nigeria's energy sector and the Nigerian Navy, has expanded beyond its initial maritime focus to include industrial aspects in the construction of the vessel. At the Okpai HM Shipyard in Delta State, approximately 200 Nigerians, comprising engineers, technicians, naval architects, welders, and retired military officers, worked on the project.
This diverse workforce contributed to both the technical execution and operational understanding required for the vessel's construction. The partnership with the Nigerian Navy gives the project a clear maritime-security dimension, while the technical components necessitate expertise in engineering, fabrication, and marine construction.
Oil and gas operations across Nigeria's regions are connected to waterways, terminals, ports, and marine logistics, making maritime security an integral part of the broader infrastructure environment. The project, owned by SEEPCO, highlights the integration of maritime security and technical requirements in constructing specialized vessels, showcasing the collaboration between energy companies, maritime institutions, and local technical professionals in addressing critical infrastructure needs in the Niger Delta.
