San Columbia

Recently we performed a general full term survey on the San Columbia, a 205 tonne 33m trawler.

Following the survey, we went ahead with removal of the main drive shaft and lifted the two intermediate shafts for inspection of the bearings.

Removal of the rudder and associated components was required next. We then carried out hull corrosion repairs in numerous areas.

Next we surveyed then carried out repairs to the main booms and lifting equipment.

Last but not least, we sandblasted the San Columbia and repainted her, to look spectacular in the new Sanford’s blue colour scheme.

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.
