Fleet modernization
Benefiting from IFC/World Bank funding, NAVROM carried out an extensive fleet modernisation programme in 2006-2007, which consisted of the refitting and complete equipping of 14 liner pushers. Subsequently, the programme continued with its own funds, with the modernisation of 7 manoeuvring pushers, four 1,600 hp shallow draught pushers purchased in 2011-2015 and two other 2,500 hp liner pushers already in the company’s fleet.
