Our Lowestoft Dry Dock measures 14.6 metres x 76.5 metres and is capable of housing ships with a maximum draft of 4.5 meters with appropriate tidal conditions.
Having this capacity means we are one of the leading providers of dry docking and ship repair services to North Sea and other UK and European based vessel operators.
Vast experience gained from working with numerous ship operators and builders has given our operatives in Lowestoft superior knowledge of structure, mechanics, services and propulsion systems meaning we offer a total service solution for any ship repair and refit docking requirements.
The team in Lowestoft is extremely experienced with in house expertise to not only include ship repair but also major structural fabrication; i.e. pontoons, barges and small to mid-sized offshore structures.
Our dry dock has onsite workshops for fabrication and construction as well as machine shops and engineering facilities. We can provide offices and mess facilities for ship’s crew if required. The site is fully serviced with electricity and water. We have onsite support plant including forklift trucks, cranes, scissor lifts and cherry pickers. Floating alongside repairs are also possible outside of the dry-dock, alongside, in our dedicated
lay-by berth.
As with all SMS sites, you will be fully supported by our complement of marine professionals including: technical management and shipwrights, welder/fabricators, mechanical and hydraulic engineers, electrical technicians, painters and divers.
