Our Dominican Republic shipyard performs controlled dry docking on land using a certified pneumatic airbag system. Vessels are safely hauled out and transferred onto a dedicated hardstanding area where we carry out hull treatment, coatings, propulsion work, valve inspections and repairs to underwater components.
This flexible and cost-efficient method offers a reliable alternative to traditional dry dock availability in the Caribbean, ideal for tugboats, port-service fleets and other harbour vessels. Each operation is managed end-to-end by our technical teams—ensuring precision, safety and full compliance with Class requirements.
