Giurgiu's modern development depended on the town's strategical and commercial importance, of communicational binding character and of the seaport of Bucharest at the Danube.
One of the most important facilities of the shipyard is the vertical transfer equipment, called syncrolift, which ensures the ships to be launched or to be docked in order to get safely repaired.This equipment was projected and built for maritime and naval ships having the following maximum characteristic : Lenght=110m; Width=17,5m; Weight=300t and it is endowed with a mobile platform driven by strut jacks working in phases.
Ships transfer from the assembly room and from the repairing shipping room to the syncrolift is done through a transfer way sistem, which has a 114.793 m2 surface, by some waterworks, tractable by 3.600 horse power tractor. There were built ships completely equipped with: 2x800 horse power pusher, 1600t tank-barge, RO-RO barge, as well as ship bodies as: hooker, Combi Coaster maritime ships, 85m, 108m, 110m harbourships, 4500t barges, Europe II barges, pontoon bridges, tracker barges pleasure boats.
