Two dockside cranes, one critical lift. Today’s tandem operation in Dock 1 saw the turret of the telescopic motion compensation gangway safely lifted onboard. A brilliant example of the coordination, skill and capability our team brings to every project.
What a fantastic time at #NorShipping last week! Great conversations, new connections, and exciting opportunities on the horizon for Gibdock.
Huge thanks to everyone who stopped by it’s clear the appetite for quality ship repair and strategic partnerships is stronger than ever.
We’re attending #NorShipping2025.
Hall D - D03-29
Our Commercial Director, John Barnard, and Finance Director, Matthew Massetti will be on-site to discuss our technical capabilities in complex vessel repair, conversion, and drydocking!
Gibdock has completed a major renewal project on Technip’s Deep Blue, including steel & piping renewal, machinery overhauls, full hull recoating, and a 3.7m lift to service 8 thrusters. Delivered on time, on budget — with over 600 personnel on the job. #Gibdock#DeepBlue
Beneath the hull, always impressive, no matter how many times you’ve seen it. Engineering, scale and coordination all come together when a vessel is out of the water. There’s a tangible energy in the dock - focused, skilled, and purposeful.
