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.

New Zealand's most experienced ship refit and repair specialists.

Hello Henk, I think we met once or twice along the way whilst Itasca was in your Shipyard. I would like to say what a successful Yard period it turned out to be for the Engineering Dept onboard. With Gary Mitchell leading the fitters they managed to service in excess of 60 assorted valves. The determination of the workshop crew, Gary Mitchell, Raymond, Keith, Dave, Gary, Ross, Dennis, Penny, Graham Glass, Brian, alan, and of course Mr Cheung I was most impressed with from the start. Their sheer determination and hardwork is much appreciated by myself, a Chief Engineer of long standing. This is a BIG THANK YOU to each and every one of them including project Manager Peter who gave a lot of time and effort to the planning and successful completion of the project. Kindest Regards, Bob Whelan. I.Eng. MIET. Chief Engineer MY Itasca.

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.
