Ikawai

The fishing vessel, Ikawai has been put up on the hard for a complete survey overhaul with many new modifications to be carried out. She has been fitted with a new stabiliser wing system, new hydraulic winch package, and has undergone a wheelhouse extension and overhaul. The survey overhaul will be completed with a top to bottom paint job before releasing the craft back to the briny, more efficient, and much cleaner than before.

Coral Discoverer

Launched in 2005, the Coral Discoverer expedition cruise ship came in for its five year marine survey. Over ten days, the complete drive-line was removed for inspection along with the vessel’s sea valves, and other general survey inspection tasks were carried out. A large number of windows were replaced by the team at Seamac Windows. Many general maintenance tasks were executed and these included the engagement of night and day shifts to cut out hull plates and replace them with new materials. To complete the maintenance, as a combined project between SBC and Rudolphs Ltd., Coral Discoverer’s topsides and below water hull were painted.

SR Kemp

The Kemp came into Ship Repair for a bit of a tidy up, its regular general survey and some other minor work.

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.
