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.

In recent months our large slipway has been used for many projects including some of our more publicised work, including the transformation of the of the 54m Damen Sea Axe Advantage which Ship Repair NZ played a huge role in.

Other projects have included the Barge Pohonui and the Bream Bay Tug. As with all of our projects, the turnaround time was efficient and the vessel back on the water when required, which for working boats is imperative with time away from the water decreasing earning potential.

If you are looking for the right place to take your vessel for your survey, for maintenance or makeover work, utilise our team here at Ship Repair NZ and see why our reputation is so good.

When size – and experience – really matter, contact Ship Repair NZ.

"Kaimai arrived home safely thank you and looks spic and span. Please pass on our thanks to all who worked on her during the slipping both from within your organization and contractors. The ease with which it all comes together makes the experience from the customers point of view very straight forward."

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.
