Alnmaritec opens Wimbourne Quay Repair Centre

Alnmaritec, based in Northumberland UK based Alnmaritec is best known for the design and build of commercial workboats.

This week, however, the company officially launched its new Wimbourne Quay Repair Centre at the historic Port of Blyth site.

With 150m of berths/quayside frontage and over 100,000 sq ft of covered workshops, the new repair centre is in a position to provide services to a wide variety of clients, as managing director Chris Millman explained: “Alnmaritec has a reputation for providing high quality newbuild workboats but we can also utilise the enormous depth of expertise within our workforce to undertake all types of boat repair projects. We have over 120 highly skilled craftsmen with the ability to deal with all aspects of maintenance, refit and repair.”

It is not just at the five acre Blyth site that Alnmaritec provide these repair services. Mr. Millman added: “We support clients and their projects all over the world in terms of maintenance and repair. As an example, we’ve had men working in West Africa continuously for the last four months on various projects for different clients. We’re happy to provide these services wherever the client needs them, not just at our own facility.”

At that facility, however, there are a number of impressive features, from the 100 tonne boat crane to the paint facilities and the mechanical and electrical workshops.
