Acheron III

Our team of qualified surveyors took care of the Acheron III recently. The Acheron III is a 24m tug built in 2009. Our basic mid-term surveys are very thorough and professional and essential for crew and owners to have confidence in the vessel – not to mention insurers.

On the Acheron III we did a detailed examination of her sea valves, did a bump test on the shaft and rudders, then there was the paint to clean up. We carried out a blast and repaint of her underwater sides and topside and sent the Acheron back out to sea, the very definition of ship shape.

Deep Water Port

Located in the calm, sheltered waters of Whangarei Harbour – we are one of only four deep water ports in New Zealand. We have a large slipway for vessels up to 1800 tonne which often handles two ships at once, as well as a second 40 tonne slipway for smaller vessels.

Sheltered Harbour

Facilities onsite include showers & toilets for crew, a fully equipped office with internet access, and easy access to Whangarei CBD. We can arrange rental vehicles, accommodation, sort out crew visas and permits and look after you during your time ashore.

Full Project Management

As well as our team of specialist marine fabricators, heavy engineers, fitters and electricians, we work with our trusted specialist tradespeople and suppliers, or yours, to complete your ship repair project on time and within budget.
