Capricorn Alpha

We completed the upgrade of the external decks and hull of the 26m tug, Capricorn Alpha in 2018. The engine room ventilation system was upgraded, along with all safety systems, including the C02 rescue boat. Ship Repair modified and upgraded each water-tight door and all hatches. The 2011-built vessel was completely sandblasted and repainted in her new owner’s colours before being sent back to the briny.

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.
