Bilyara trawler

When the owners of the 20-metre trawler Bilyara needed new stabiliser wings, they brought the vessel to Ship Repair, one of the country’s most trusted names in marine repair. Stability is essential for the Bilyara, a vessel which is almost always hard at work trawling for scampi in the turbulent Southern Ocean. Smooth sailing is important not only for the crew aboard the trawler, but for the shareholders, customers and everybody else depending on the ship collecting its haul in a timely manner.

Fixing on new state of the art wings to dampen the roll of the vessel involved the experts at Ship Repair cutting slot boxes out of the hull plates. The new stabiliser wings were placed on the port and starboard sides of the Bilyara. We utilised the expertise of our marine fabrication and heavy engineering experts, supplying quality work with trusty welding at our reliable slipway in the calm waters of Whangarei Harbour. After this, we carried out a general touch-up and tidy of the hull and deck paint systems then sent the Bilyara back out to sea with confidence.

Thanks must go out to Derek and the team from Industrial Rebuilds for their assistance throughout the project.

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.

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.
