A Perfect Deep Water Port

deepwaterportWhile many visitors to our country love the scenic vistas that await them on arrival, there is something a bit more unique about arriving by boat. The beautiful waters that nestle around our country are spectacular – and even more so when a pod of dolphins escort you in from your journey overseas.

We love being based in Whangarei, Northland. Not only for its scenery and location, but for our business it means we are available to large vessels as we are one of only four deep water ports in the country.

Big Ships… Size Does Matter!

sizemattersBig ships, tuna boats, tugs and boutique cruise ships – we can handle them all because we have a huge 2000-tonne capacity slipway.

Our facilities at Ship Repair NZ are many, and we love to boast about them all as we are very proud of the service that we can offer our clients. We can handle any marine vessel of any size, and that starts with our slipways – yes, we have two!

The first can take up to 2000 tonnes and has many uses – it can be used for one large vessel or two smaller ones. Plus we have another slipway that can take 40 tonne. Between the two of them, plus our very efficient and qualified team, we have some of the quickest turnaround times available.
