Slipways for Hull Repairs North Island New Zealand

Hull repairs on New Zealand and International vessels

Ship Repair in Whangarei is at the top of the North Island of New Zealand, convenient for making hull repairs on international ships before or after navigating the open seas, as well as deep sea fishing boats and other marine vessels.

Whangarei is one of only four deep water ports in New Zealand, along with Devonport in the North Island and Lyttleton and Nelson in the South Island.   Our lowest ever depth is 4-6 metres and we regularly work on ships whose draft is between 1 and 6 metres.  These include commercial fishing vessels, ferries, steel hull yachts and other working boats.

At Ship Repair we stand behind our workmanship and our promise to help you get your ship together as quickly as possible without compromising on standards.

Vessel: M/V Advantage
"I just wanted to check in with you to say thank you for all of the assistance in completing the stabilizer installation and dockside commissioning on Advantage. I quite literally couldn't have gotten it done without Nick and Gary and their crew at Ship Repair NZ. They and their staff were extremely professional and made sure I had everything I needed in an expeditious manner. It seemed like no matter what I needed you all were spot on and in a hurry to get it to me. The fact that hanging the fins in such tight quarters went off without a hitch is testament to the Ship Repair crew's knowledge and expertise. "
