Dales Marine Services has launched an international mobile engineering service.<\/p>\n
The Aberdeen-headquartered provider of solutions for keeping vessels certified and operational has invested in equipment, tooling and training to allow its engineering teams to mobilise anywhere in the world. Its team has now completed projects in Europe and Africa.<\/p>\n
As part of the international offering, teams will cover dockings, afloat maintenance periods, emergency repairs, mobilisation projects and complex engineering scopes.<\/p>\n
The launch is backed by new containerised workstations that double as power units. Each houses a diesel generator, welding rigs, a compressor, consumables, cabling and tooling. They can be mobilised at short notice and set down on a vessel’s back deck or a quayside.<\/p>\n
Chief executive Kevin Paterson said: \u201cDales Marine Services has delivered bespoke marine engineering services for more than 30 years at ports throughout Scotland and taking our expertise out to clients internationally is a natural next step.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen a vessel needs a docking, an afloat maintenance period or an emergency repair, what matters is getting the right people there quickly and doing the job safely, which is something we\u2019ve been doing for years.<\/p>\n
\u201cExpanding this offering with our mobile response teams lets us make fuller use of the skills already in our workforce as we support existing and new clients wherever they operate.\u201d<\/p>\n
Dales Marine Services has also recently strengthened its offshore wind capability after members of its team completed specialist training programmes, including Global Wind Organisation Basic Safety Training,\u00a0and an NSL Rigging, Lifting and Banksman Slinger course.<\/p>\n
Founded in 1987, Dales operates dry dock and fabrication facilities in Aberdeen, Leith, Greenock and Troon. Each year it supports more than 100 vessels in dry dock, carries out over 150 project mobilisations and demobilisations, and completes more than 500 afloat repairs across the UK and Europe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
