TAIS Shipyards

TAIS Shipyards is a naval shipbuilding company based in Istanbul, Turkey. The site says it was set up by the owners of shipyards in Turkey. It offers expert and innovative solutions in navy shipbuilding for customers around the world.

The company works in three areas. These are consulting and strategy, design and technology, and building and maintenance. The site says its support covers the whole life of a ship, including life extension.

The site lists a range of naval designs. These include a landing helicopter dock (LHD-230), a fleet replenishment tanker (FRT-200), a landing ship tank (LST-140), a cadet training ship (CTS-90), an emergency response and rescue vessel (ERV-90) and a landing craft tank (LCT-80). It also lists the BORA range of corvettes, frigates and offshore patrol vessels.

Many BORA designs are for surveillance, patrol and surface warfare in exclusive economic zones. The multi-mission frigate is described with air defence, anti-submarine, reconnaissance and electronic warfare functions. The site states a vision to become a preferred global brand for naval ships.

The site says TAIS has completed a series of projects for the Turkish Ministry of Defence for the Turkish Navy. Its partner yards are in Tuzla and Yalova, in the core of Turkey's shipbuilding industry.

The head office address is in Pendik, Istanbul. The site lists a headquarters phone number and a fax number. A supplier form asks suppliers to name a category, such as plates, pumps, engines, cables or cranes. The site also has pages for partners and insights.
