Cochin Shipyard has orders from Germany, Norway, Cyprus and the Netherlands

India's leading shipbuilder Cochin Shipyard Ltd (CSL) is focusing on building modern vessels powered by green energy, as it looks to deliver 65 ships worth over ₹22,000 crore from global and domestic clients, including the India Navy, its chairman and managing director Madhu S. Nair said.
The move comes amid global concerns over carbon emissions that exacerbate climate change, with the focus now gradually shifting to building 'green ships' - vessels that run on less-polluting fuels such as methanol, electricity, green hydrogen and hybrid batteries.
“CSL has an all-time high order book of around ₹22,000 crore, involving building 65 ships, with bulk of the orders for making 14 Naval ships and 22 coastal ships for the European clients including those from Germany, Norway, Cyprus and the Netherlands. Apart from these, we have our focus on making green ships and are already fulfilling orders from abroad for hydrogen fuel cell and methanol ships, electric ships, hybrid ships and other sophisticated ships - commissioning, support and operations vessels (CSOV) for a British and German- Cyprus clients,” Nair told
