Yacht owners can now schedule survey work at Penzance Dry Dock
Cornwall-based Penzance Dry Dock is now available to the European yachting market for survey work following the establishment of a joint venture between the dock and YachtProjects International Llc.
The venture is expected to enable yacht owners to undertake annual, five and 10-year survey work cost-effectively at Penzance Dry Dock, which is part of the Isles of Scilly Steamship Group and provide engineering services for both marine and land based projects throughout the UK. It can take vessels up to 75m and boasts a wet berth as well as modern and functional fabrication and workshop space.
Economical repair
Pippa Nicholas, owner and technical director of Florida-based YachtProjects International, which also has offices in Hampshire, said: “Our niche client owns a slightly older classic, motor or sail yacht. These vessels are where the Penzance Dry Dock skills in steel repair, propellers, shafts, rudders, stabilisers, underwater valve service and replacement come into play.
“Thus we can fix price work simply because the haul out cost does not have to cover overhead not associated directly with the task at hand.”
Ms Nicholas added that the project will also bring new investment and jobs to the local area.
YachtProjects International undertakes refit and repair project management and offer servicing work globally, Sister company, Procom365 Llc, designs, supplies, installs and manages onboard ship communication systems including satellite hardware and airtime, onboard networks and remote management of all services and mandatory communication needs.
