Ship Repair

Slipway
The Slipway, which has recently been upgraded, has four cradles and is located in Port Henry Harbour. Ships up to 27.43 metres keel length, with a maximum beam of 7.2 metres and weight of 230 tonnes can be accepted into the Slipway.

Ship repair facilities have been the subject of continued investment by the Harbour Trustees.

A new platform scheme was provided to facilitate safer access to vessels on the Slipway.

The Slipway provides a very cost effective alternative to the Syncrolift facility and is widely used. All enquiries should be made to the Harbour Office.

Drydock
The Drydock is located in the North Harbour and can currently handle ships up to 57.9 
metres in length, 10.67 metres beam and 5 metres draught and is available to all 
types of vessels within the dimensions.

The Slipway and drydock facilities are complemented by a skilled workforce from the harbour itself and locally based companies, which cover the whole spectrum of repair, maintenance and conversion of vessels.

Carpenters, marine electricians, engineers, painters, radar and radio specialists, diving contractors, salvage companies and other specialists are available.

In earlier years, Peterhead Harbours adopted a forward thinking approach to environmental policies which has resulted in Scottish Environmental Protection Agency granting authority for the de-commissioning of vessels within the drydock. 

All enquiries require to be directed to the Harbour Office.
