There are two slipways that are capable of slipping barges, lighters, small harbour craft, pontoons and fishing boats amongst others. The slipways are 20 meters in length and 6 meters in width and can accommodate vessels up to 120 tons. Tugs are available for towing lighter barges, pontoons, etc., and also for general duties such as transporting of ship stores. The main usage of the tugs is to facilitate dry- docking of the vessels up to 20,000 tons.
