We have developed a strong base of repeat clients who recognise the benefits of our yard arrangement and highly experienced team to achieve the maximum amount of work in the minimum time.
The group’s parent companies also have a strong background and experience in the Refit and Repair field on projects on Superyachts, Expedition Vessels, Service Vessels, Workboats and Barges. This background offers an added depth of experience to tackle the most challenging projects.
The site’s 12m wide slipway trolley system provides a distinct advantage of being able to accommodate wider bodied vessels such as catamarans, vehicular ferries and barges. The system also provides teh ability to obtain a clear work area beneath the vessel and jack up if required for hopper doors, moon pools and other specialised repair functions.
The slipway trolley system is modular and can be set up to a variety of configurations. When hauled up the vessel is on a level hardstand area which provides an ideal working environment for projects of longer duration.
Refit and Repair Work can also be conducted in water at nearby work berths with the benefit of utilising any of the yards resources and advantages.
