Our Lowestoft Dry Dock measures 14.6 metres x 76.5 metres and is capable of housing superyachts 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 vessel operators.
Vast experience gained from working with numerous owners, management companies and builders has given our operatives superior knowledge of structure, mechanics, services and propulsion systems meaning we offer a total service solution for any superyacht repair and refit docking requirements.
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.
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.

Since 2001, we have been the Port of Cherbourg's primary engineering partner in respect of the Rolls-Royce Syncrolift facility in Cherbourg.
The facility (with a lift of 90m x 32m) comfortably caters for superyachts up to 90m in length, and offers a 3000 tonnes lift capacity. Having for many years utilised the facility specifically in support of commercial customers, we are now carrying out general activities on the site in support of superyacht owners and operators.
Skilled, experienced personnel that are capable of carrying out planned or emergency dockings are routinely deployed from our UK based operations. The Cherbourg Syncrolift, the largest and most modern in the region, is ideally located only 75 miles from Southampton and Portsmouth, 70 miles from Portland, and just 135 miles from the busy Dover Straits. The longevity of our partnership ensures lift rates are highly competitive and response times immediate.
