Western Ranger – New Build 8m skiff

In time for the Western Ranger post-survey re-launch, we completed the construction of the vessel’s new 14.7 tonne 8 metre skiff.

The skiff was designed by Emtech Design in conjunction with Snow boats from Seattle. With a basic steel tonnage of 12.5 tons (14.7 tonnes complete), this heavy little craft’s main engine is a Cummins QSLD putting out 330 HP. Main bollard pull is 3.3 tons. The electric rope retrieval winch was designed and built by SRNZ. An Eaton Hydraulic steering system was installed by SRNZ and Engineering Pipes & Tubes.

The engine room includes a cooling system and fire dampener which is backed up by a Fire Pro fire extinguisher system. All electrical work and installation was carried out by Marine & Industrial Electrical.

Rudolph’s blasters and painters carried out all blasting and painting and the craft is painted in classic Sanford blue. Aft and working decks were finished with a Rhino coating system applied by Ron Kaye of Hang Tuff Ltd.

During the sea trial between the new skiff and the refurbished Western Ranger winch, 130 tonnes of Blue Mackerel were netted.

Acheron III – Topsides paint touch-up

The Acheron III was up on the hard recently for a quick topsides paint touch-up and routine anti-fouling. We installed a new WASP sonar system and housing onto the 2009-built 24m tug before sending her back to the water and 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.

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.
