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 and improvement.

A new platform scheme was provided in 2010 to facilitate safer access & working on vessels on the Slipway.

The Slipway provides a very cost effective alternative to the Syncrolift facility and is widely used.

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.

Experienced Contractors

Peterhead has a maritime tradition stretching back over 300 years. This association with shipping has encouraged a wide range of support companies to set up business in the town. The skilled tradesmen have extensive knowledge and experience working on boats of all types and sizes, as well as a network of business contacts to source parts and other specialists when required. This can greatly assist in completing projects in time and to the lowest possible cost. You will find them helpful and appreciative of an opportunity to quote for any work required.   However, there are no restrictions on bringing other qualified contractors to work on a vessel. Whilst in Peterhead the vessels other needs can also be met – be it chandlers, stores, fuel, safety equipment, survey etc.
