Ship Care…

As well as comprehensive Quay and Jetty repairs, we often carry out work scope for marine vessels involved in the marine and towage industry.

Our marine engineering covers a broad spectrum from fabricating be-spoke generator cases to repairs of docking towers, we even provide divers to view the underside of marine equipment and price up the repairs as required.

• Damage repair can also be achieved to bring the units back to original specification as they may have been modified by the shipyard to allow slight changes in dry dock design.
• These can also be transported at short notice to allow use throughout Europe in case of Emergency Docking of such vessels.




Example…

The below images show a ships docking tower, this was transported by our hiabs back to our fabrication workshop where repairs were carried out on the structure, a 3 coat marine paint system was then applied before returning the tower to the ship it came from.
