SeaKing sails fair with yacht contract
SPECIALIST engineering company SeaKing Electrical has sailed away with two contracts working on super yachts.
The Birkenhead-based firm, which is a specialist in the marine sector, has just completed work on one of the world’s top 100 super yachts the MY Kogo.
This involved a four month dry dock project in La Ciotat, South France where SeaKing worked as a contractor to marine consultant Svitzer. Work included the installation of helicopter landing lights, earth monitoring systems as well as CCTV, WIFI and alarm networks.
Next month a team will work on board the Solemar – another ultra-luxury vessel. The company has already undertaken fire detection system survey work and is due to start the refit in Antibes in April.
Business development manager Neil Mellenchip said: “The super yacht sector is a key growth sector for us. We sent six marine technicians to work on the Kogo upgrade which was a complex and demanding job.
He added: ““It is vital that any electrical technicians involved with this sort of work have a thorough and complete understanding of product application and the installation process. We adapt quickly to any new advances and we ensure our technicians receive the highest standards of training to carry out the work with speed and efficiency.”
